The Community-based Valued-driven Care Initiative (CVCI) aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate the feasibility of delivering patient-centered care interventions for high priority disease states in community pharmacies. This article focuses specifically on two of the selected interventions, both of which were screening and referral (S&amp;R) programs for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (DM) respectively.

Its objectives were to assess both implementation and preliminary program effectiveness using mixed data.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Fifteen community pharmacies opted to implement one of the two programs over a 12-month period. Implementation feasibility involved examining program adoption rates by sites and patients; acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and intent to sustain use survey scores; and pharmacists' interviews.

However, few studies have used models and/or frameworks to facilitate the implementation process, especially in a low and middle-income countries. In addition, there are limitations in the ways that implementation frameworks are used. Therefore, this discussion aimed to propose and describe an approach using the ReflACTION framework. ReflACTION emerged from several years of systematic observation and experience of the Laboratory of Teaching and Research in Social Pharmacy (LEPFS) in implementing CPS in different settings of Brazilian health system. These experiences led the research group to systematize the implementation of CPS based on three theorical references: Paulo Freire's theoretical references, the Maguerez Arc and the Apoteca framework. The ReflACTION framework proposes five steps that starts and ends in the setting, which are: observation of reality; gathering key-points; theorization; solution hypothesis; and application to reality. All steps were carried out considering the determinants of the implementation process. For the present study, we highlight the importance of the implementation team, the involvement of stakeholders as well as their dialogue and awareness. Thus, we describe the operationalization process for each step. The ReflACTION framework can be used to describe and guide the implementation process of CPS. We expect the proposed framework may add knowledge to implementation science and, ultimately, achieve desired patient outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73003,"journal":{"name":"Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100534"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142538291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As evidence of respiratory damage and other health concerns continue to emerge, educational resources for parents are critical in combating the vaping epidemic. A vaping educational tool can serve as a resource that parents of adolescents can reference to learn about e-cigarette use and how to address this topic with their families.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>The purpose of this study was to examine parents' perspectives on the design and use of an educational infographic (Parent <em>E</em>-Cigarette and Vaping Educational Resource; P-EVER) to inform parents of adolescents and their families about e-cigarette use, risks, and quitting resources.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Parents who had an adolescent aged 12 to 18 years were recruited through community pharmacies in Wisconsin through recruitment fliers, emails, and word of mouth between February and June 2023. Participants reviewed the vaping educational handout in a semi-structured interview that was recorded and transcribed verbatim. Two members of the research team independently coded each transcript using NVivo software to conduct inductive thematic analysis. Bi-weekly meetings were held to refine codes, develop the master codebook, and identify prevalent themes (intercoder reliability - 0.83).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Thirty-five parents were interviewed between February and June 2023. Four themes were identified: vaping awareness, P-EVER content and implementation, pharmacist's role, and barriers to pharmacist intervention on vaping. Participants believed the vaping educational handout was an effective resource for disseminating information to parents of adolescents. Responses highlighted the importance of providing educational resources to initiate conversations surrounding health risks to adolescents.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Pharmacists played a crucial role in successfully disseminating the P-EVER education tool to parents of adolescents. Future work is required to determine effective interventions for pharmacists and adolescents to discuss the topic of vaping awareness and safety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73003,"journal":{"name":"Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100532"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142538301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
