description | Objectives
This study aimed to investigate physicians’ and pharmacists’ perceptions of the importance of pharmacists’ role in healthcare in Egypt, and actual delivery of these roles in practice. Identifying any differences and inconsistencies between these will inform future strategies that maximize pharmacists’ professional contribution to hospital practice.
Methods
A self‐administered questionnaire using a 5‐point Likert scale was distributed to a convenience sample of physicians (500) and pharmacists (500) practicing in selected private or public hospitals in Egypt. The main sections of the questionnaire comprised statements that pertained to physicians’/pharmacists’ views on the importance of pharmacists’ roles and their actual delivery in practice.
Key findings
In this study, physicians showed low scores for both the importance of and the delivery of advanced patient‐facing clinical pharmacy roles such as suggesting prescription medications, and designing treatment plans. In comparison, pharmacists were more positive on both of these aspects of their roles. High mean scores were reported by the physicians for pharmacist’s traditional roles such as patient counselling, assessing compliance, preventing medication errors and treating minor illnesses. Both physicians and pharmacists reported poor pharmacists practice as drug information resources despite their high perception of the importance of that role.
Conclusion
This study suggested that in hospitals in Egypt, there are significant differences between physicians’ and pharmacists’ perception and practice, and pharmacists’ clinical skills are underutilized in health care. |
