Methods: The data for this study was collected through a self-electronic survey and analyzed using the survey monkey systems and the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS). The study used a sample size of 701 participants statistically calculated with a 95% CI , 1.96 z score, and 5% margin error. Results: The study found medium scores (M=3.31, p=.000) in the preparation tools to SPLE with highly used Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) in pharmacy practice and review of healthcare professionals’ law. In contrast, Non-pharmacy board license exams stimulating undergraduate examinations, Anxiety about the test, and Lack of preparation were the most significant barriers preventing the entry-level pharmacist’s licensure examinations. In addition, gender and material status affected SPLE preparation tools, resources, and obstacles to perceptions. Conclusion: The analysis concluded that the current licensure examination (SPLE) preparation tool was self-preparations and used resources. There are no standardized entry-level licensure examination tools or resources, necessitating targeted changes in undergraduate schools to introduce preparation tools that measure entry-level pass Pharmacist Licensure Exam very efficiently.","PeriodicalId":416050,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology, Toxicology and Biomedical Reports","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126569931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A self-administered, structured questionnaire was sent to the public online, including questions on the responders’ demographics and questions about different herbal medications and their use to treat viral respiratory infections. Data analysis was executed through the survey SPSS program. Results: Four hundred eighty-six individuals responded to this questionnaire; 89.92% of the responders were from the west area, and 56.49% were in the age group between 18 and 30. The most herbal medications used for respiratory viral infections was honey 364 (78.79%), and lemon juice 327 (71.24%), followed by Ginger 288 (64.43%) and Mint 292 (64.04%%) While the least herbal medicine used was Sambucus nigra 26 (6.09%) and Licorice 26 (6.68%). The most herbal medicine not known among responders was Sambucus nigra 147 (34.43%), Sugarcane 136 (31.48%), and Radish 135 (31.47%%). Herbal medicines usages were significantly higher among males, except for cloves and miswak; their use was significantly higher among females. Retired individuals ( p value<0.001), high income ( p -value<0.001), non-healthcare professionals ( p -value=0.003), age group between 51 to 60 years old ( p -value<0.001), married individuals ( p -value<0.001) all had higher knowledge level about herbal medications use in viral respiratory infections. The survey’s reliability was tested by Mac 0.96, Cronbach 0.958, Gultman 2 0.961, and Gultman 6 0.973. Conclusion: The level of knowledge about herbal medicine use among individuals in Saudi Arabia is inadequate.

Methods: This is a narrative review of pharmacy infection control. The literature search was performed using various databases, including PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, about specific topics related to infection control in pharmacy practice. The search period was from the 1960s to October 2021. The terms searched were in English and included narrative review, systemic review, meta-analysis, and guidelines. The terms ”Policies” and “Procedures” were limited to the last 10 years across all hospitals, and community pharmacy services were included in the search terms. The committee of pharmacy infection control consisted of various expert members, including clinical pharmacists, community pharmacists, and infection control specialists. The first members drafted the policy. The second members reviewed the draft policy and corrected it. Finally, the third members, an infection control specialist, revised the draft. The topic emphasizes staff immunization policies and procedures and occupational safety for pharmacy infection control. Results: The staff immunization and occupational safety policy of pharmacy infection control consisted of various items, and it included instructions for adult’s vaccines for pharmacy staff and interns, the adult’s vaccines needed for a particular condition, immunization for occupational infections, and work restriction for infected pharmacy personal. Conclusion: The policies and procedures related to staff immunization and occupational safety are new initiatives in pharmacy practice. It is an active measurement for preventing various infectious diseases among pharmacy personnel.
