To identify athletes' interests in receiving advice about sports supplements from a pharmacist in a supermarket setting and to identify pharmacists' knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm for providing counseling on various sports supplements.
Two cross-sectional surveys were developed and administered. One survey was administered to athletes at local northwestern Ohio fitness facilities, and 1 survey was administered to pharmacists in chain pharmacies during mid-February to mid-March 2017. The athlete survey gathered demographic information, information sources, products purchased, including their location and selection factors, and perceptions of pharmacists providing sports supplement counseling. The pharmacist survey gathered demographic information; knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm for providing sports supplement counseling; perceptions of counseling benefit; and barriers to implementation of providing a sports supplement counseling service.
The athlete survey had 129 participants. Athletes primarily reported obtaining sports supplement information from supplement stores, and only 2% indicated using a pharmacist. Although 52% said they would talk to a pharmacist about sports supplements, 66% said their perception of a pharmacist's fitness level would influence whether or not they would approach him or her. The pharmacist survey had 143 participants. On a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree), the mean (SD) of their knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm statements were 2.49 (0.89); 2.61 (0.94); and 3.54 (0.87), respectively. Ninety-two percent (n = 130) of pharmacists thought it would be beneficial to provide counseling on sports supplements. Perceived barriers included lack of knowledge, evidence, and time.
Pharmacists were not identified as a primary resource for sports supplements, but athletes would be willing to discuss this topic with knowledgeable and physically fit pharmacists. Pharmacists felt that they lacked knowledge and confidence regarding sports supplement products but noted enthusiasm to provide counseling. Sports pharmacy counseling could be a viable expansion of pharmacy services in community pharmacies with proper education and tools.
确定运动员在超市环境中接受药剂师关于运动补剂建议的兴趣，并确定药剂师在提供各种运动补剂咨询方面的知识、信心和热情。
开展并实施了两项横断面调查。一项调查针对俄亥俄州西北部当地健身设施的运动员，另一项调查于2017年2月中旬至3月中旬针对连锁药店的药剂师。运动员调查收集了人口统计学信息、信息来源、购买的产品（包括其地点和选择因素）以及对提供运动补剂咨询的药剂师的看法。药剂师调查收集了人口统计学信息；提供运动补剂咨询的知识、信心和热情；对咨询益处的看法；以及提供运动补剂咨询服务的实施障碍。
运动员调查有129名参与者。运动员主要报告从补剂商店获取运动补剂信息，只有2%的人表示会咨询药剂师。尽管52%的人表示会与药剂师谈论运动补剂，但66%的人表示他们对药剂师健康水平的看法会影响他们是否会向其咨询。药剂师调查有143名参与者。在5点李克特量表（1 = 强烈不同意，5 = 强烈同意）上，他们在知识、信心和热情方面陈述的均值（标准差）分别为2.49（0.89）；2.61（0.94）；和3.54（0.87）。92%（n = 130）的药剂师认为提供运动补剂咨询会有好处。感知到的障碍包括知识、证据和时间的缺乏。
药剂师未被视为运动补剂的主要信息来源，但运动员愿意与知识渊博且身体健康的药剂师讨论这一话题。药剂师觉得他们在运动补剂产品方面缺乏知识和信心，但表示有提供咨询的热情。通过适当的教育和工具，运动药学咨询可能是社区药房药学服务的一个可行扩展。
