Although the consequences of systemic racism on health outcomes are well understood, little is known about how they manifest in pharmacy practice. The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of Black Nova Scotians with community pharmacists. Methods: This was a qualitative study that used focus groups and one-on-one interviews. Black Nova Scotians 18 years of age and older who have had interactions with community pharmacists were invited to participate. Focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed thematically. Results: Two focus groups ( n = 10) and 6 one-on-one interviews were held between May and June 2021. Three major themes were identified: 1) difficulties navigating a pharmacy as a Black person, 2) lack of inclusivity and cultural competence in the pharmacy and 3) transactional relationships with pharmacists. Discussion: Most participants felt their race negatively affected the quality of care they received from the pharmacist and that pharmacists were not culturally competent. Most participants did not consider pharmacists to be part of their health care team and described feeling unsafe or uncomfortable in the pharmacy. Conclusions: Pharmacists have an important role in closing the health equity gap. This research highlights the need for pharmacy education to include cultural competence and will be used to guide strategies to improve access to culturally safe pharmacy services for Black Nova Scotians.","PeriodicalId":46612,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Pharmacists Journal","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136012557","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}

The use of proton pump inhibitors by older adults has increased over the past several decades; however, existing literature suggests that only one-third of patients prescribed these medications have a valid indication for use. The aim of this study was to assess the appropriateness of proton pump inhibitor therapy in a population of ambulatory geriatric patients and to determine the impact of an interdisciplinary clinic on their use. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients referred to an ambulatory geriatrics clinic between October 2017 and March 2021. Participants were eligible for inclusion if they were taking a proton pump inhibitor at the time of clinic admission. Appropriateness of proton pump inhibitor therapy was assessed based on indication and dosing regimen. Results: In total, 280 participants were included. The mean age was 79.6 years (SD 7.7) and 60% were female. Overall, 94 of 280 (33.6%) participants had a documented valid indication for their proton pump inhibitor. The clinic team intervened to reduce the dose or discontinue 76 of 186 (40.8%) inappropriate proton pump inhibitors. Interpretation: Only one-third of proton pump inhibitors used by ambulatory geriatric patients have a documented appropriate indication for use. Given the medical complexity of this population and their vulnerability to adverse effects, the ambulatory geriatric population should be a priority target for proton pump inhibitor deprescribing initiatives.","PeriodicalId":46612,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Pharmacists Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136212000","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}
