BACKGROUND
Pharmacist prescribing has been introduced in several countries owing to systemic issues within healthcare. This systematic change can improve general public's access to prescribed medication. In Germany, pharmacist prescribing and its acceptance among the population remains unexplored because legislators insist on the exclusive right of doctors to prescribe medication.
OBJECTIVES
This study investigated pharmacy customers' views towards pharmacist prescribing. The study sought to determine whether pharmacy customers in Germany could imagine the introduction of pharmacist prescribing.
METHODS
Pharmacy customers in Germany participated in an anonymised survey in August-October 2023. Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling method, mainly from community pharmacies. The questionnaire comprised 28 questions and covers participants' characteristics, key aspects of patient care and statements regarding the topic of pharmacists prescribing. The collected data were coded and analysed using IBM SPSS version 28.0.1.
RESULTS
In total, 316 participants completed the survey. The average age was 51.0 years, and the majority were females (69.6%, n = 220). Overall, participants reported a high level of satisfaction with the general services provided by community pharmacies. A high to very high level of trust in their community pharmacist (CP) was reported by 84.4% of the participants. A total of 79.1% of the participants stated that pharmacists should be trained for prescribing authorisations. A key finding of this research was that most participants (88.0%), regardless of age and gender, agreed that the concept of pharmacist prescribing is favourable.
CONCLUSION
Participants across all age groups were generally positive about pharmacist prescribing and supportive of its implementation, while expressing the need for pharmacists to undergo further training tailored to the specific prescribing authorisation. This study provides groundwork for further research and contributes to policy-making considerations.
背景
由于医疗保健系统存在的问题，几个国家已引入药剂师处方权。这种系统性变革可以改善公众获取处方药的途径。在德国，药剂师处方权及其在民众中的接受程度尚未得到研究，因为立法者坚持医生拥有开处方的专属权利。
目的
本研究调查了药房顾客对药剂师处方权的看法。该研究旨在确定德国的药房顾客是否能够想象引入药剂师处方权。
方法
德国的药房顾客于2023年8月至10月参加了一项匿名调查。采用便利抽样方法招募参与者，主要来自社区药房。问卷包括(此处原文有误，应是“包含”)28个问题，涵盖参与者的特征、患者护理的关键方面以及关于药剂师处方主题的陈述。使用IBM SPSS 28.0.1版本对收集的数据进行编码和分析。
结果
共有316名参与者完成了调查。平均年龄为51.0岁，大多数为女性(69.6%，n = 220)。总体而言，参与者对社区药房提供的一般服务满意度较高。84.4%的参与者表示对其社区药剂师高度信任。共有79.1%的参与者表示药剂师应接受处方授权培训。这项研究的一个关键发现是，大多数参与者(88.0%)，无论年龄和性别，都认为药剂师处方权的概念是有利的。
结论
所有年龄组的参与者总体上对药剂师处方权持积极态度，并支持其实施，同时表示需要为药剂师提供针对特定处方授权的进一步培训。本研究为进一步研究奠定了基础，并有助于政策制定的考虑。
