    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-01) Ruth Yilma; Abdurezak Mohammod (PhD)
    The purpose of this study is to determine how pharmacy personnel at SPHMMC in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, perceive their workload in relation to EHR. Training, self-efficacy, system quality, information quality, and technical support system are the EHR parameters that are employed. To explain how independent variables affected the dependent variable, the study employed an explanatory research strategy in conjunction with quantitative research. Additionally, descriptive analysis was utilized to characterize the data's properties, generate insightful analysis, and draw conclusions. A statistical program called the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 24 is used to examine the data that has been gathered. The study employs a census method, targeting the entire population of pharmacy professionals at SPHMMC. Therefore, total population of pharmacy professionals that interact with the EHR system that were available during the data collection time was 65employees. From them, it was managed to collect 61 fully filled responses for analysis making the response rate 95%. The finding of the research emphasizes that the information quality and system quality have positive and statistically significant effect on perceived workload. Contrarily, training, self-Efficay and technical support system presented statistically not significant effect. From the regression analysis, it was found that Information quality has the highest correlation with perceived workload followed by the System quality. Based on the result, recommendations were made for to implement and sustain a high quality EHR system that is user friendly and the quantity and quality of information presented in the EHR system should be accurate, relevant and user friendly. In relation to this, it is suggested that SPHMMC optimize its training activities in order to have adequate coverage and relevance to the skills of the pharmacists being employed.
