Community pharmacists are highly accessible healthcare providers and studies in several countries have demonstrated a role for community pharmacists in delivering enhanced care to people with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the views and experiences of people with type 2 diabetes attending community pharmacies in Ireland.
A 13-item questionnaire, anchored on a 5-point Likert scale, was used. The study took place in seven pharmacies in the Munster region of Ireland. Participants were people attending a participating pharmacy who had type 2 diabetes and were aged ≥ 18 years.
The questionnaire was answered by 125 people with type 2 diabetes. Mean age of participants was 65.7 ± 12.4 years and 59.2% were male. The statement "I am totally satisfied with my visit to this pharmacist", was the item that participants most frequently agreed with (agree/strongly agree = 99.2%, mean score 4.9 ± 0.4). Over 80% of participants agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "It is easier to get to see the pharmacist than the doctor", (mean score 4.3 ± 1.1).
In this population, people with type 2 diabetes were highly satisfied with the care provided to them by their community pharmacist. These data support the implementation of enhanced community pharmacy services for people with type 2 diabetes in Ireland.
社区药剂师是极易接触到的医疗服务提供者,几个国家的研究已证明社区药剂师在为2型糖尿病患者提供强化护理方面可发挥作用。本研究的目的是评估爱尔兰社区药房中2型糖尿病患者的观点和体验。
采用一份基于5级李克特量表的包含13个条目的问卷。该研究在爱尔兰芒斯特地区的7家药房进行。参与者为年龄≥18岁、患有2型糖尿病且前往参与研究的药房就诊的患者。
125名2型糖尿病患者回答了问卷。参与者的平均年龄为65.7±12.4岁,59.2%为男性。“我对此次与该药剂师的就诊完全满意”这一陈述是参与者最常认同的项目(认同/强烈认同=99.2%,平均得分4.9±0.4)。超过80%的参与者认同或强烈认同“见到药剂师比见到医生更容易”这一陈述(平均得分4.3±1.1)。
在这一人群中,2型糖尿病患者对社区药剂师为他们提供的护理高度满意。这些数据支持在爱尔兰为2型糖尿病患者实施强化社区药房服务。
