在旨在改善公共卫生和医疗保健专业人员实践的干预发展计划中，越来越重视行为改变。已经建立了一些框架和方法工具，以帮助研究人员制定干预措施，寻求改变医疗保健专业人员的行为。行为改变干预设计的关键特征包括指定目标群体（即医疗保健专业人员或患者队列），目标行为和识别行为改变的中介（即障碍和促进者）。一旦明确指定和理解了目标行为，就可以使用特定的行为改变技术作为干预的基础，以确定行为改变的介导者。这篇评论概述了药房实践为基础的研究人员在制定针对药剂师的行为改变干预措施时，将配药作为一种行为，并提出了一个配药的定义，以考虑在未来的研究中所面临的挑战。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc.

There is a growing emphasis on behavior change in intervention development programmes aimed at improving public health and healthcare professionals' practice. A number of frameworks and methodological tools have been established to assist researchers in developing interventions seeking to change healthcare professionals' behaviors. The key features of behavior change intervention design involve specifying the target group (i.e. healthcare professional or patient cohort), the target behavior and identifying mediators (i.e. barriers and facilitators) of behavior change. Once the target behavior is clearly specified and understood, specific behavior change techniques can then be used as the basis of the intervention to target identified mediators of behavior change. This commentary outlines the challenges for pharmacy practice-based researchers in targeting dispensing as a behavior when developing behavior change interventions aimed at pharmacists and proposes a definition of dispensing to consider in future research.
