Objective:
To identify the prevalence of and risk factors associated with work-related stress among pharmacists.
Methods:
The cross-sectional study was conducted from January 3 to July 1, 2022, in the Alkarak Governorate of Jordan after approval from the ethics review committee of Mutah University, Jordan. The sample comprised qualified pharmacists with at least one year of professional experience. Data was collected using a validated and reliable self-administered questionnaire containing 20 items under five main domains. Each item was scored on a 5 point Likert scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 25.
Results:
Of the 179 pharmacists with mean age 32.5±7.7 years and mean professional experience 7.7±6.3 years, 122(68.2%) were females and 57(31.8%) were males. Of the total, 145(81%) pharmacists demonstrated moderate work-related stress, while 4(2.2%) showed a high level. Gender, working hours per week, number of prescriptions dispensed per day, number of pharmacists per shift, employment status, and years of professional experience were significantly associated with the level of work-related stress (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
Several factors were found to have a significant relationship with work-related stress among pharmacists.

Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Miscellaneous Factors
Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...

The capillary endothelial barrier allows only smaller molecules below 600 Da (Daltons) to pass through. It also restricts drugs like heparin that are bound to blood components, limiting their movement within the bloodstream.

Factors Affecting Protein-Drug Binding: Drug-Related Factors
One crucial factor in drug-protein binding is the drug's lipophilicity or its affinity for fat. More lipophilic drugs tend to have higher binding extents. For example, highly lipophilic drugs like cloxacillin exhibit substantial protein binding, with as much as 95% of the drug binding to proteins. In...
