摘要

目的:尽管提供药物护理是药学专业的首要目标,但在发展中国家,药物护理的实际实施却很欠缺。因此,本研究调查了药学专业人员对药物护理的理解、态度和实践:这项横断面研究于 2022 年 7 月 30 日至 2022 年 8 月 30 日在埃塞俄比亚西北部莫塔镇的所有社区和医院药房进行。采用自填式问卷收集数据,并使用 SPSS 26.0 版进行分析。采用 P 值为 0.05、置信区间为 95% 的逻辑回归模型来确定与理解、态度和实践相关的因素:研究的回复率为 97.7%。在 130 名参与者中,71 人(54.6%)为女性。略多于半数(56.2%)的参与者了解药物护理的目的(56.2%)和药学专业人员在药物护理过程中的责任(56.9%)。然而,大多数参与者对临床药学和药物护理之间的异同缺乏认识。在态度方面,大多数参与者(66.9%)认为提供药物护理应是药学专业人员的主要责任,这将使患者(61.6%)和医疗系统(60.8%)受益。药学专业人员经常对患者进行评估,找出与健康或药物治疗相关的问题以及潜在的替代治疗方法。然而,他们很少参与任何健康检查活动,也很少向医生反馈病人的进展情况。培训状况、性别和从业年限/了解程度与药学专业人员对药物护理的了解程度、态度和实践有显著关系,因为从业年限和了解程度都与实践有关:我们的研究表明,在埃塞俄比亚西北部的莫塔镇,药学专业人员对药物护理的理解、态度和实践都存在不足。政策制定者、卫生部门和教育机构应携手合作,共同制定战略和教学计划,优化药物护理的提供,从而实现最佳的患者治疗效果并降低医疗成本。

Pharmacy professionals' understanding, attitude and practice toward pharmaceutical care in Motta town, Northwest Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: Although pharmaceutical care provision is the primary goal of the pharmacy profession, its actual implementation has been lacking in developing nations. Therefore, this study investigated pharmacy professional's understanding, attitudes, and practice toward pharmaceutical care.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 30 July 2022 to 30 August 2022, at all community and hospital pharmacies in Motta town, Northwest Ethiopia. Data were gathered using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. A logistic regression model with a p-value of 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval was applied to identify factors associated with understanding, attitude, and practice.

Result: The study had a 97.7% response rate. Of the 130 participants, 71 (54.6%) were females. Slightly more than half (56.2%) of the participants were aware of the aim (56.2%) of pharmaceutical care and responsibilities (56.9%) of pharmacy professionals in the pharmaceutical care process. However, most participants lack awareness of the similarities and differences between clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical care. Concerning their attitude, most participants (66.9%) believed that pharmaceutical care provision should be the primary responsibility of pharmacy professionals, and it will benefit patients (61.6%) and the healthcare system (60.8%). Pharmacy professionals frequently evaluate their patients and identify health or drug therapy-related problems and potentially available therapeutic alternatives. However, they rarely engaged in any health screening activities or provided feedback to the doctor on the patient's progress. Training status, sex, and years of practice/understanding were significantly related to pharmacy professionals' level of understanding, attitudes, and practice toward pharmaceutical care, as both years of practice and understanding are related to practice.

Conclusion: Our study revealed a deficit in pharmacy professionals' understanding, attitude, and practice toward pharmaceutical care in Motta town, Northwest Ethiopia. Policymakers, health authorities, and educational institutions should work together to develop strategies and instructional initiatives that optimize pharmaceutical care provision and thus achieve optimal patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
