The major goals of pharmaceutical care (PC) are to improve the patient's quality of life and ensure safety of pharmacotherapy. Inclusion of a pharmacist in the multidisciplinary team caring for the patient and integration of state-of-the-art pharmaceutical services with medical care and nursing are some of the most important challenges that the health care system in Poland is facing.
To evaluate the pharmacists attitudes towards practice in, and knowledge of PC in Poland and to identify the barriers in PC provision.
The study was designed as a multicenter study, conducted among Polish pharmacists. Random sampling technique was employed to select the study group. Face-to-face questionnaire method was used to interview the pharmacists, upon obtaining their prior verbal consent to participate in the study. The study was conducted between January 2017 and September 2019.
Only 15% of the pharmacists have ever attended a training on PC. 72% believed PC provision was necessary to ensure pharmacotherapy safety. Only 63% of the pharmacists believed that preventing and solving health-related and drug therapy problems for patients were their responsibilities. The main reason for non-provision of PC by the pharmacists was the lack of time for such activities, lack of legal regulations, lack of organizational facilities.
This study indicates that implementation of PC is expected in Poland. Educational programs in this respect are urgently needed. PC provision should be included in the curricula of academic pharmaceutical courses.
药物治疗管理（PC）的主要目标是提高患者的生活质量并确保药物治疗的安全性。在多学科团队中纳入药剂师来照顾患者，并将最先进的药学服务与医疗和护理相结合，是波兰医疗保健系统面临的一些最重要的挑战。
评估波兰药剂师对 PC 的实践态度和知识，并确定 PC 提供方面的障碍。
该研究设计为一项多中心研究，在波兰药剂师中进行。采用随机抽样技术选择研究组。在获得他们参与研究的口头同意后，采用面对面的问卷调查方法对药剂师进行访谈。研究于 2017 年 1 月至 2019 年 9 月进行。
只有 15%的药剂师曾参加过 PC 培训。72%的人认为提供 PC 是确保药物治疗安全的必要条件。只有 63%的药剂师认为预防和解决与健康相关的问题以及药物治疗问题是他们的责任。药剂师不提供 PC 的主要原因是缺乏此类活动的时间、缺乏法律规定、缺乏组织设施。
本研究表明，波兰有望实施 PC。在这方面需要紧急开展教育计划。PC 提供应纳入学术药学课程的课程中。
