Abstract

Introduction: The Iraqi pharmacy code of practice and ethics enables pharmacists to resolve conflicts between the code and patient demands and satisfy their needs. This study evaluates pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward the pharmacy code of practice and ethics.

Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three different provenances (Baghdad, Al-Diwaniya, and Wasit) from October 1st to December 31st, 2022.

Results: Among 202 Iraqi pharmacists, the mean age was (30.4 ± 6.8) years old, and about (59%) of the participants were aware of the Iraqi Code of Practice and Ethics; similar results were found regarding their practice. About two-thirds of the participants agreed that modifying the Iraqi Pharmacy Code of Practice and Ethics will enable pharmacists to resolve the conflict between the code and patient demands, satisfy their needs, and raise healthcare standards. More than two-thirds of the participants thought that they don't need training courses to give vaccines for addiction, smoking cessation, obesity, or sleeping problems.

Conclusion: According to the study, more than half of the Iraqi pharmacists exhibited good knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the pharmacy code of practice and ethics. However, it is recommended that Iraqi pharmacists engage in comprehensive training programs covering different aspects of healthcare, such as vaccination and smoking cessation, to further improve their contribution to the healthcare system.

伊拉克药剂师对药剂师执业守则和职业道德的认识、态度和实践。
导言:伊拉克药剂师执业和职业道德规范使药剂师能够解决规范与患者需求之间的冲突,并满足他们的需求。本研究评估了药剂师对药学实践和道德规范的认识、态度和实践:这项横断面研究于 2022 年 10 月 1 日至 12 月 31 日在三个不同地区(巴格达、迪瓦尼亚和瓦西特)进行:在 202 名伊拉克药剂师中,平均年龄为(30.4±6.8)岁,约(59%)的参与者了解《伊拉克执业和道德准则》;在他们的执业方面也发现了类似的结果。约三分之二的参与者认为,修改《伊拉克药房工作与道德规范》将使药剂师能够解决规范与患者需求之间的矛盾,满足他们的需求,并提高医疗水平。三分之二以上的参与者认为,他们不需要参加培训课程就可以接种疫苗治疗毒瘾、戒烟、肥胖或睡眠问题:根据研究结果,半数以上的伊拉克药剂师在药剂师执业守则和职业道德方面表现出良好的知识、态度和实践能力。不过,建议伊拉克药剂师参加涵盖疫苗接种和戒烟等医疗保健不同方面的综合培训计划,以进一步提高他们对医疗保健系统的贡献。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
