Pharmacists across the healthcare continuum are well positioned to collaborate with patients to effectively manage their chronic pain. Evidence supports positive outcomes when pharmacists undertake these roles; however, there are barriers preventing uptake across the profession. This paper aims to expand awareness of the breadth of these roles, including pharmaceutical care provision, interprofessional collaboration, pain and medication education, support for patients in self-management and acceptance of responsibility to be culturally responsive and decrease stigma. Pharmacists are accessible healthcare professionals and can improve the care of patients with chronic pain.
在整个医疗保健体系中，药剂师具备与患者合作以有效管理其慢性疼痛的良好条件。有证据表明，药剂师承担这些角色能产生积极效果；然而，存在一些障碍阻碍着整个行业对这些角色的接受。本文旨在提高对这些角色广度的认识，包括提供药学服务、跨专业协作、疼痛和药物教育、支持患者自我管理以及承担起文化响应和减少耻辱感的责任。药剂师是易于接触的医疗保健专业人员，能够改善慢性疼痛患者的护理。
