A survey of pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes and barriers in pharmaceutical care concept in Poland

Abstract Background 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. Objectives To evaluate the pharmacists attitudes towards practice in, and knowledge of PC in Poland and to identify the barriers in PC provision. Methods 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. Results 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. Conclusion 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.

Nonrandomized Trial

Abstract Objective Families of children with phenylketonuria (PKU) report child emotional and behavioral problems, parenting stress, and parenting difficulties, which are associated with worse health-related quality of life. This study aimed to examine acceptability and feasibility of a brief, group-based parenting program (Healthy Living Triple P) for families of children with PKU. Methods An uncontrolled nonrandomized trial design was used. Families of children aged 2–12 years (N = 17) completed questionnaire measures assessing child behavior and impact of PKU on quality of life (primary outcomes), and parenting behavior, self-efficacy and stress, and children’s behavioral and emotional adjustment (secondary outcomes). Routinely collected blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels were obtained from the treating team. Parents selected two child behaviors as targets for change. The intervention comprised two, 2-hr group sessions delivered face-to-face or online. Assessment was repeated at 4-week postintervention (T2) and 4-month follow-up (T3). Results Attrition was low and parent satisfaction with the intervention (face-to-face and online) was high. All families achieved success with one or both child behavior goals, and 75% of families achieved 100% success with both behavior goals by T3; however, there was no change in health-related quality of life. There were moderate improvements in parent-reported ineffective parenting (total score, d = 0.87, 95% CI −1.01 to 2.75) and laxness (d = 0.59, 95% CI −1.27 to 2.46), but no effects on parenting stress or children’s adjustment. Phe levels improved by 6month post-intervention for children with elevated preintervention levels. Conclusions Results support intervention acceptability and feasibility. A randomized controlled trial is warranted to establish intervention efficacy.

Screen Sharing

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven the use of digital communications to unprecedented levels across society whilst the NHS struggles with non-compatible IT systems that are often outdated and inhibit effective communication. MDTs use teleconferencing but the IT infrastructure does not permit clinicians to readily discuss cases and collaboratively review imaging outside of formal meetings if not on the same site and face-to-face. NHS radiology home reporting was not widely in place at the outbreak of the pandemic. Paper records persist further inhibiting remote working. Email has degraded the quality of written communication leading to suggestions of a ‘broken’ email culture. Despite NHS policy ambitions to address radiologist under capacity with increased networking and collaboration between providers the IT infrastructure has proven inadequate. Modern Communication and Collaboration Platforms have functionality that cuts across the non-compatible IT restrictions with screen sharing a key enabler. By engaging with these platforms radiologists and oncologists have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape the ‘new normal’ of delivery of healthcare with superior quality communication practices exceeding those in place at the outbreak of the pandemic.

The City

This paper seeks to examine the ethnoreligious urban violence and residential mobility in the city of Kaduna with a view to make recommendations towards ameliorating its effects by evaluating the causal factors fueling the crisis and examining the pattern and direction of the residential mobility in the city. The sources of data were both primary and secondary. The sampling technique used was purposive and random sampling from two residential districts from both the northern and southern parts of the city. A total of 1,000 questionnaires were administered within the study areas and 900 questionnaires were collected. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with major stakeholders from the two parts. The data obtained were analysed using thematic and content analysis for the qualitative data whilst the quantitative data were analysed using simple percentages. The results revealed that the factors causing the ethnoreligious urban violence and residential mobility are unemployment, social institutional breakdown, politics, and colonial impact and the pattern/direction of the residential mobility in the city of Kaduna show a clear polarization along religious lines based reactive residential mobility between the two parts of the city. Based on these results recommendations were made to assist the academia, practitioners, and policy makers.
