Provision of medication information may improve adherence and prevent medication related problems. People with mental health disorders commonly receive less medication counselling from pharmacists than people with other common long term and persistent disorders.
The objective of this study was to compare and contrast barriers pharmacy students perceive toward providing medication counselling for people with mental health disorders in Australia, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, India and Latvia.
Barriers identified by third-year pharmacy students as part of the International Pharmacy Students' Health Survey were content analysed using a directed approach. Students' responses were categorised as pharmacist related, patient related, health-system related, or social or cultural related. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS version 14.0.
Survey instruments were returned by 649 students. Of the respondents, 480 identified one or more barriers to medication counselling for people with mental health disorders. Patient related factors accounted for between 25.3% and 36.2% of barriers identified by the pharmacy students. Pharmacist related factors accounted for between 17.6% and 45.1% of the barriers identified by the pharmacy students. Students in India were more likely to attribute barriers to pharmacist and social and cultural related factors, and less likely to health-system related factors, than students studying in other countries.
The nature of barriers identified by pharmacy students differed according to the country in which they studied. Undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy education programs may need to be amended to address common misconceptions among pharmacy students.
提供用药信息可能会提高依从性并预防用药相关问题。与患有其他常见慢性和持续性疾病的人相比，患有精神疾病的人通常从药剂师那里获得的用药咨询较少。
本研究的目的是比较和对比澳大利亚、比利时、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、印度和拉脱维亚的药学专业学生在为患有精神疾病的人提供用药咨询时所感知到的障碍。
采用定向分析法对三年级药学专业学生在国际药学专业学生健康调查中确定的障碍进行内容分析。学生的回答被归类为与药剂师相关、与患者相关、与卫生系统相关或与社会或文化相关。使用SPSS 14.0版对定量数据进行分析。
649名学生返回了调查问卷。在受访者中，480人指出了为患有精神疾病的人提供用药咨询的一个或多个障碍。与患者相关的因素占药学专业学生确定的障碍的25.3%至36.2%。与药剂师相关的因素占药学专业学生确定的障碍的17.6%至45.1%。与在其他国家学习的学生相比，印度的学生更倾向于将障碍归因于药剂师以及与社会和文化相关的因素，而较少归因于与卫生系统相关的因素。
药学专业学生确定的障碍的性质因他们学习的国家而异。本科和研究生药学教育项目可能需要进行修订，以解决药学专业学生中的常见误解。
