Abstract

Background: A limited number of community pharmacies provide nutritional counseling. Furthermore, despite the increasing number of community pharmacies with registered dietitians on staff, the professional capacities of registered dietitians are not fully utilized. This study aimed to find ways to enhance nutritional interventions in community pharmacies.

Methods: Between May and June 2022, an interview survey was conducted with pharmacists and registered dietitians to determine the knowledge and skills that both professionals believe are necessary for community pharmacies and the required improvements. Fifteen respondents-five pharmacists who had completed training related to health support pharmacies (PhHSs), five pharmacists working with a registered dietitian (PhRDs), and five registered dietitians employed in community pharmacies (RdCPs)-were interviewed. The interviews were conducted using the Personal Attitude Construct analysis technique, and the text data obtained were labeled to generate themes.

Results: The following five themes emerged from the intervention points for patients with malnutrition and lifestyle-related diseases: image of the patient in need of intervention, information needed for assessment, correction of patient perceptions, suggestions for feasible ways, and points to consider during the intervention. The following four themes emerged regarding challenges in improving nutritional interventions: establishing a nutritional intervention flow, educating healthcare providers, publicizing to patients, and implementing institutional reforms.

Conclusion: Establishing a structured intervention framework, improving training for healthcare providers, raising patient awareness, and implementing institutional reforms are essential aspects. In addition, optimizing the role of pharmacists and registered dietitians by clarifying the required knowledge and skills can contribute to effective nutritional counseling and enhanced patient outcomes.

加强社区药房营养干预:个人态度建构分析。
背景:提供营养咨询的社区药房数量有限。此外,虽然有越来越多的社区药房配备注册营养师,但注册营养师的专业能力并没有得到充分利用。本研究旨在寻找加强社区药房营养干预的方法。方法:在2022年5月至6月期间,对药剂师和注册营养师进行访谈调查,以确定这两种专业人员认为社区药房所需的知识和技能以及需要改进的地方。15名受访者接受了采访,其中5名药剂师完成了与卫生支持药房(phhs)相关的培训,5名药剂师与一名注册营养师一起工作,5名注册营养师受雇于社区药房(rdcp)。访谈采用个人态度结构分析技术进行,并对获得的文本数据进行标记以生成主题。结果:对营养不良及生活方式相关疾病患者的干预要点归纳出5个主题:需要干预的患者形象、评估所需的信息、患者认知的纠正、可行方法的建议、干预时需要考虑的要点。关于改善营养干预的挑战,出现了以下四个主题:建立营养干预流程,教育医疗保健提供者,向患者宣传和实施体制改革。结论:建立结构化的干预框架,加强对医护人员的培训,提高患者意识,实施制度改革是必不可少的方面。此外,通过明确所需的知识和技能,优化药剂师和注册营养师的作用,有助于有效的营养咨询和提高患者的治疗效果。
