Abstract

Introduction: Telepharmacy, the application of information and communication technologies in healthcare services, has been adopted in many countries to provide patients with pharmaceutical care. However, it has yet to be widely used in Vietnam. This study was conducted to assess the current status of use and the factors associated with the willingness to use telepharmacy of pharmacists in Vietnam. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from February to July 2021; 414 pharmacists were recruited to fill in an online survey. Results: Overall, 86.7% of participants have used telepharmacy application and 87.2% of them were willing to apply telepharmacy in pharmacy practice. According to our multivariate analysis, the level of readiness was associated with positive attitude (odds ratio [OR] = 4.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.26-9.66), and a good behavior (OR = 11.34; 95% CI: 3.84-33.45). Discussion: Developing a telepharmacy system with appropriate features is essential to meet the requirements of pharmacy practice amid the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

越南胡志明市药剂师对远程药房在应对COVID-19大流行中的应用的看法

远程药房是信息和通信技术在医疗保健服务中的应用，已被许多国家采用，为患者提供药学服务。然而，它尚未在越南广泛使用。本研究旨在评估越南药师使用远程药房的现状及相关因素。方法:于2021年2月至7月进行描述性横断面研究;414名药剂师参与了一项在线调查。结果:总体而言，86.7%的受访医师使用过远程药房申请，87.2%的受访医师表示愿意在药学实践中使用远程药房。根据我们的多变量分析，准备程度与积极态度相关(优势比[OR] = 4.67;95%可信区间[CI]: 2.26-9.66)，且行为良好(OR = 11.34;95% ci: 3.84-33.45)。讨论:在新冠肺炎疫情蔓延的背景下，开发具有相应功能的远程药房系统是满足药学实践需求的必要条件。
