Pharmaceutical care can be given in all settings: The community, hospitals, long-term care, and the clinic. However, published literature indicates that there is a substantial barrier to implementing pharmaceutical care programs in community pharmacies. This review was conducted to discover gaps and limitations in pharmaceutical care services in community pharmacies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We searched PubMed and other available scientific website databases using the following key words to retrieve the relevant articles: Community Pharmacy, Healthcare System, Pharmaceutical Care, KSA. Two authors independently screened the titles and abstracts of promising articles. They discarded irrelevant studies and retained studies, and reviews that held the promise of relevant data or information. The review revealed that only one out of the four studies conducted in KSA retrieved by the authors reported pharmaceutical care service other than dispensing. The same results were reported in other studies conducted in some developing countries. All pharmaceutical care services were reported in studies conducted in Europe. The authors came to the conclusion that in KSA, dispensing of medicines is the dominant service provided by community pharmacists and that there was very limited if not a total absence of other pharmaceutical care services.
社区、医院、长期护理机构和诊所。然而,已发表的文献表明,在社区药房实施药学服务项目存在重大障碍。本综述旨在发现沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)社区药房药学服务中的差距和局限性。我们使用以下关键词在PubMed和其他可用的科学网站数据库中进行检索,以获取相关文章:社区药房、医疗保健系统、药学服务、沙特阿拉伯王国。两位作者独立筛选有前景文章的标题和摘要。他们摒弃无关研究,保留那些有望提供相关数据或信息的研究及综述。该综述显示,作者检索到的在沙特阿拉伯王国开展的四项研究中,只有一项报告了除配药之外的药学服务。在一些发展中国家开展的其他研究也报告了相同的结果。在欧洲开展的研究报告了所有的药学服务。作者得出结论,在沙特阿拉伯王国,药品调配是社区药剂师提供的主要服务,并且即使不是完全没有,其他药学服务也非常有限。
