Jamaican Community Pharmacists-Determined Barriers to Availability of Smoking Cessation Aids.
Objectives: To determine the willingness of Jamaican pharmacists to stock and dispense smoking cessation aids and determine barriers to selling products.
Design: A descriptive study that utilized pharmacist-completed surveys. The participants received a sectionalized survey and a structured questionnaire tool. Data collection took place over six weeks.
Setting: Pharmacists practicing in pharmacies registered by the Pharmacy Council of Jamaica (PCJ) Participants: A total of fifty-seven registered community pharmacists.
Results: Most pharmacies (87.7%) do not stock smoking cessation aids. The most identifiable products were nicotine patches/nicotine gum. Pharmacists' barriers to selling were cost (42%), lack of knowledge of the process of obtaining cessation aids (27.3%), and low demand from patients/clients (22.7%). Most pharmacists (86%) were willing to stock cessation aids. Of the total product requests, 61.2% were lodged by persons 26-50 years old. The stocking of products was not independent of location (p < 0.005).
Conclusion: The barriers to the availability of smoking cessation aids, once adequately addressed, could positively enhance the achievement of smoking cessation practices.
