To explore pharmacists' awareness of Australia's health care reforms and their beliefs and attitudes about their current and future roles.
Four focus groups were conducted with 32 South Australian pharmacists: two groups included community pharmacists and pharmacy owners; one included hospital pharmacists and another, consultant pharmacists.
Four themes emerged: (1) poor awareness of health care reform agenda; (2) strong adherence to the supply model; (3) lack of appreciation of alternative models; and (4) communication barriers.
Participants' low awareness of Australia's health care reforms and their expressed beliefs and attitudes to their current role in the health system suggest that they are not well prepared for the potential future roles expected of health professionals in the health care reform agenda.
探讨药剂师对澳大利亚医疗保健改革的认识,以及他们对自身当前和未来角色的看法与态度。
对32名南澳大利亚药剂师进行了四次焦点小组访谈:两组包括社区药剂师和药房老板;一组包括医院药剂师,另一组包括顾问药剂师。
出现了四个主题:(1)对医疗保健改革议程的认识不足;(2)对供应模式的强烈坚持;(3)对替代模式缺乏认识;(4)沟通障碍。
参与者对澳大利亚医疗保健改革的认识较低,以及他们对自身在医疗系统中当前角色所表达的看法和态度表明,他们对医疗保健改革议程中卫生专业人员未来可能承担的角色准备不足。
