Background: The final prescription check is a mandatory but time-consuming process in Dutch community pharmacies. A safer dispensing process may have made the final prescription check obsolete.

Objective: To describe the final prescription check in Dutch community pharmacies and explore pharmacists' attitudes towards changing this.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey among Dutch community pharmacists. The online questionnaire was based on literature and previous qualitative research, piloted in three pharmacies, and took 10 min to complete. Results were analysed descriptively.

Results: A total of 409 pharmacists participated. They saw the final prescription check as an important quality assurance of the dispensing process. Nevertheless, most pharmacists agreed that the final prescription check could be optimized as they thought that the time invested outweighed the benefits. Automation of the dispensing process, only checking selected high-risk prescriptions, and more in-process checks could reduce the need for an extensive final prescription check, rather than delegating the task to assistants. To implement changes, most pharmacists felt current dispensing guidelines needed to be adapted.

Conclusion: There was a widespread consensus that optimizing the final prescription check could enhance efficiency and allow more time for person-centred care. Most pharmacists expressed a preference for updated guidelines before implementing such changes.

背景:在荷兰的社区药房中,最后处方检查是一个强制性但耗时的过程。更安全的配药流程可能会使最后处方检查变得过时:描述荷兰社区药房的最终处方检查,并探讨药剂师对改变这一做法的态度:对荷兰社区药剂师进行横断面调查。在线问卷以文献和先前的定性研究为基础,在三家药房进行试点,完成问卷需要 10 分钟。对调查结果进行了描述性分析:共有 409 名药剂师参与了问卷调查。他们认为最终处方检查是配药过程中重要的质量保证。尽管如此,大多数药剂师都认为可以优化最终处方检查,因为他们认为所投入的时间得不偿失。配药流程自动化、只检查选定的高风险处方以及更多的流程中检查可以减少对大量最终处方检查的需求,而不是将这项任务委托给助理。为了实施变革,大多数药剂师认为需要调整现行的配药指南:大家普遍认为,优化最终处方检查可以提高效率,并留出更多时间进行以人为本的护理。大多数药剂师表示,在实施此类改革之前,最好先更新指导原则。

Objective: The CombiConsultation is an innovative concise clinical pharmacy service by the community pharmacist for patients with a chronic condition. We aimed to identify relevant factors influencing the implementation of the CombiConsultation in Dutch clinical practice.

Methods: A mixed-methods study involving interviews and a questionnaire. Content analysis topics within TDF domains were derived from the interview data and were related to the COM-B-model (capability-opportunity-motivation-Behaviour). The relevance of the resulting topics was explored using a questionnaire with 19 statements administered to all 27 pharmacists who performed CombiConsultations.

Key findings: Eighteen topics emerged from the interviews. The questionnaire was completed by 23 of the 27 pharmacists. In the domain 'capability', a small number of participants indicated that they need more expertise in pharmacotherapy (13%) and training in consultation skills (35%). In the domain 'opportunity', all participants indicated that an existing good collaboration with the general practitioner/practice nurse and access to all relevant medical data were necessary to implement the CombiConsultation. In terms of motivation, job satisfaction was most important to all participants, followed by adequate reimbursement (83%) and improving collaboration with other healthcare providers and the relationship with patients (78%).

Conclusions: Capability, opportunity, and motivation were all considered relevant for the implementation of the CombiConsultation. There were crucial factors on the level of the individual pharmacist, on the level of the local collaboration and organization, and on the health system level.

目的:CombiConsultation 是社区药剂师为慢性病患者提供的一种创新型简明临床药学服务。我们旨在确定影响荷兰临床实践中实施 CombiConsultation 的相关因素:方法:这是一项混合方法研究,包括访谈和问卷调查。从访谈数据中得出了 TDF 领域内的内容分析主题,这些主题与 COM-B 模型(能力-机会-动机-行为)相关。通过向所有 27 名进行 CombiConsultations 的药剂师发放包含 19 项陈述的调查问卷,探讨了所得出的主题的相关性:访谈中产生了 18 个主题。27 位药剂师中有 23 位完成了问卷调查。在 "能力 "方面,少数参与者表示他们需要更多的药物治疗专业知识(13%)和咨询技能培训(35%)。在 "机会 "方面,所有参与者都表示,要实施 "组合咨询",就必须与全科医生/执业护士建立良好的合作关系,并获得所有相关的医疗数据。在动机方面,工作满意度对所有参与者来说都是最重要的,其次是适当的报销(83%)和改善与其他医疗服务提供者的合作以及与患者的关系(78%):结论:能力、机会和动机都被认为与实施 CombiConsultation 有关。在药剂师个人层面、地方合作和组织层面以及医疗系统层面都存在关键因素。

Objectives: Digital literacy is increasingly crucial in pharmacy practice, and relevant education and training are required to prepare the future workforce. This study aims to explore the current and planned inclusion of digital literacy education in the undergraduate curricula of UK pharmacy schools.

Methods: A mixed-methods approach was conducted with two phases. The first involved a content analysis of published curricula from all 30 UK pharmacy schools. The second phase included a survey based on the Health Education England Digital Capabilities Framework, distributed to academic staff across all pharmacy schools.

Key findings: Data from 14 pharmacy schools' curricula were included in the analysis, with 10 reporting digital literacy education. Key themes identified from the analysed documents included understanding of health informatics, applied informatics, information technology skills, and the emerging digital health technology. Nineteen respondents from 16 schools participated in the survey; digital literacy inclusion was reported by 18 participants. There was variable alignment of digital literacy competencies with the Health Education England framework. Digital literacy was mainly integrated into existing teaching sessions, predominantly through self-learning (n = 12). Electronic Health Records and remote counselling were the main focus areas within the curricula. Challenges in implementing digital literacy include a lack of expertise (n = 13), and time constraints (n = 10).

Conclusions: The trend towards embedding digital literacy in UK pharmacy curricula is clear, but disparities suggest the need for a more unified strategy. Recommendations include establishing a specific digital literacy framework aligned with professional needs, improving accessibility and transparency in curricula documents, and investing in faculty development.

目标:数字素养在药学实践中越来越重要,需要相关的教育和培训来培养未来的人才。本研究旨在探讨英国药学院本科课程中数字素养教育的现状和计划:研究采用混合方法,分为两个阶段。第一阶段是对英国所有 30 所药学院公布的课程进行内容分析。第二阶段包括一项基于英格兰卫生教育数字能力框架的调查,调查对象为所有药学院的教学人员:来自 14 所药学院的课程数据被纳入分析,其中 10 所药学院报告了数字扫盲教育。从分析文件中确定的关键主题包括对健康信息学、应用信息学、信息技术技能和新兴数字健康技术的理解。来自 16 所学校的 19 位受访者参与了调查;18 位受访者报告了数字扫盲的纳入情况。数字扫盲能力与英格兰健康教育框架的一致性参差不齐。数字扫盲主要被纳入现有的教学课程,主要是通过自学(n = 12)。电子健康记录和远程咨询是课程的主要重点领域。实施数字扫盲的挑战包括缺乏专业知识(13 人)和时间限制(10 人):将数字扫盲纳入英国药学课程的趋势非常明显,但存在的差异表明需要制定更加统一的战略。建议包括建立符合专业需求的特定数字素养框架,提高课程文件的可访问性和透明度,以及投资于教师发展。

Objectives: Continuous subcutaneous infusions (CSCIs) are indicated as an alternative therapy when the oral route is not viable. However, despite their widespread use in palliative care, the evidence for admixture compatibility remains a limitation. It is estimated that a significant number of admixtures used in practice are not supported by laboratory studies, which may lead to suboptimal clinical outcomes. The study aimed to determine the frequency of admixtures used in clinical practice without compatibility data generated by laboratory studies, and thereby identifying the most commonly prescribed admixtures that require laboratory data, which can help to guide the prioritization of future testing.

Methods: This study was conducted across five palliative care services (three inpatients and two communities) in Victoria, Australia between May and July 2021. Electronic or paper medication charts of CSCIs were reviewed across all participating sites for all infusions administered. Data collected included medication combinations, dose, diluent, final volume, duration of infusion, reports of infusion-related reactions, and observed incompatibility.

Key findings: A total of 616 infusions containing two to three medications were assessed. Only 60% of these infusions were validated by laboratory data. Eleven most commonly prescribed admixtures with no laboratory compatibility data were identified over the 3-month period.

Conclusion: Laboratory testing for the identified admixtures should be advocated to promote the safe and effective use of these medications.

目的:当口服途径不可行时,连续皮下注射(CSCI)可作为一种替代疗法。然而,尽管它们在姑息治疗中被广泛使用,但有关混合剂兼容性的证据仍然是一个限制因素。据估计,在实践中使用的大量混合物并没有得到实验室研究的支持,这可能会导致不理想的临床结果。本研究旨在确定临床实践中使用的混合剂中没有实验室研究产生的兼容性数据的频率,从而确定需要实验室数据的最常用处方混合剂,这有助于指导未来测试的优先顺序:本研究于 2021 年 5 月至 7 月期间在澳大利亚维多利亚州的五家姑息关怀服务机构(三家住院机构和两家社区机构)进行。所有参与研究的机构都审查了 CSCIs 的电子或纸质用药记录,并记录了所有输液情况。收集的数据包括药物组合、剂量、稀释剂、最终容量、输液持续时间、输液相关反应报告以及观察到的不相容性:主要研究结果:共评估了 616 种含有两到三种药物的输液。这些输液中只有 60% 经过实验室数据验证。在 3 个月的时间里,发现了 11 种最常见的处方混合物,但没有实验室兼容性数据:结论:应提倡对已确定的混合物进行实验室检测,以促进安全有效地使用这些药物。

Objectives: To evaluate human-based Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) allocation in articles about 'patient simulation'-a technique that mimics real-life patient scenarios with controlled patient responses.

Methods: A validation set of articles indexed before the Medical Text Indexer-Auto implementation (in 2019) was created with 150 combinations potentially referring to 'patient simulation'. Articles were classified into four categories of simulation studies. Allocation of seven MeSH terms (Simulation Training, Patient Simulation, High Fidelity Simulation Training, Computer Simulation, Patient-Specific Modelling, Virtual Reality, and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) was investigated. Accuracy metrics (sensitivity, precision, or positive predictive value) were calculated for each category of studies.

Key findings: A set of 7213 articles was obtained from 53 different word combinations, with 2634 excluded as irrelevant. 'Simulated patient' and 'standardized/standardized patient' were the most used terms. The 4579 included articles, published in 1044 different journals, were classified into: 'Machine/Automation' (8.6%), 'Education' (75.9%) and 'Practice audit' (11.4%); 4.1% were 'Unclear'. Articles were indexed with a median of 10 MeSH (IQR 8-13); however, 45.5% were not indexed with any of the seven MeSH terms. Patient Simulation was the most prevalent MeSH (24.0%). Automation articles were more associated with Computer Simulation MeSH (sensitivity = 54.5%; precision = 25.1%), while Education articles were associated with Patient Simulation MeSH (sensitivity = 40.2%; precision = 80.9%). Practice audit articles were also polarized to Patient Simulation MeSH (sensitivity = 34.6%; precision = 10.5%).

Conclusions: Inconsistent use of free-text words related to patient simulation was observed, as well as inaccuracies in human-based MeSH assignments. These limitations can compromise relevant literature retrieval to support evidence synthesis exercises.

目的评估基于人类的医学主题词表(MeSH)在有关 "患者模拟 "的文章中的分配情况:方法:在医学文本索引器-自动实施(2019 年)之前,我们创建了一个文章验证集,其中有 150 个可能涉及 "患者模拟 "的组合。文章被分为四类模拟研究。调查了七个 MeSH 术语(模拟训练、患者模拟、高保真模拟训练、计算机模拟、患者特定模型、虚拟现实和虚拟现实暴露疗法)的分配情况。计算了每类研究的准确度指标(灵敏度、精确度或阳性预测值):从 53 种不同的词语组合中获得了 7213 篇文章,其中 2634 篇因不相关而被排除。模拟患者 "和 "标准化/规范化患者 "是使用最多的词汇。收录的 4579 篇文章发表在 1044 种不同的期刊上,这些文章被分为以下几类机器/自动化"(8.6%)、"教育"(75.9%)和 "实践审核"(11.4%);4.1%为 "不明确"。文章被收录的 MeSH 中位数为 10(IQR 为 8-13);然而,45.5% 的文章没有被收录到七个 MeSH 术语中的任何一个。患者模拟是最常见的 MeSH 术语(24.0%)。自动化文章与计算机模拟 MeSH 的关联度更高(灵敏度 = 54.5%;精确度 = 25.1%),而教育文章与患者模拟 MeSH 的关联度更高(灵敏度 = 40.2%;精确度 = 80.9%)。实践审计文章也与患者模拟 MeSH 有关(灵敏度 = 34.6%;精确度 = 10.5%):结论:观察到与患者模拟相关的自由文本词的使用不一致,以及基于人工的 MeSH 分配不准确。这些局限性可能会影响相关文献的检索,从而无法支持证据合成工作。

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of heart failure (HF) medication prescribing on discharge post-HF-related admission.

Methods: A retrospective audit was conducted for 216 HF admissions over a period of 6 months; medication data from electronic records were collected for analysis.

Key findings: The prevalence of HF medication prescribing on discharge was: 32.9% (95% confidence interval: 26.6-39.6) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, 10.6% (6.9-15.6) angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, 31.5% (25.4-38.1) HF-specific beta-blockers, 42.6% (35.9-49.5) aldosterone receptor antagonists, and 11.6% (7.6-16.6) sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.

Conclusion: HF medication prescribing remains relatively low despite the known benefits and recommendations listed in the guidelines.

目的确定心力衰竭(HF)入院后出院时的用药情况:方法:对 216 例心力衰竭患者在 6 个月内的入院情况进行回顾性审核;收集电子病历中的用药数据进行分析:主要发现:出院时开具高血压药物处方的比例为32.9%(95%置信区间:26.6-39.6)肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统抑制剂,10.6%(6.9-15.6)血管紧张素受体-去甲肾上腺素抑制剂,31.5%(25.4-38.1)高血压特异性β受体阻滞剂,42.6%(35.9-49.5)醛固酮受体拮抗剂,以及11.6%(7.6-16.6)钠-葡萄糖共转运体-2抑制剂:结论:尽管指南中列出了已知的益处和建议,但高血压药物处方仍然相对较少。

Objective: Pharmacist-led research is key to optimizing medicines use and improving pharmacy services, yet it is not yet widely embedded into careers. This study aims to identify predictors of confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula, to provide targeted recommendations for building research capability and capacity within the profession.

Methods: The study was a cross-sectional electronic survey, distributed to eligible pharmacists in March 2023 (n = 253). The survey gathered demographic information, research experience, and self-reported confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the RPS Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula. Pre-determined independent variables were analysed using two binomial logistic regression models (one per curriculum) to identify predictors of the dichotomous variable: confidence with meeting all research learning outcomes in that curriculum.

Key findings: Participants were more likely to self-report as confident (versus not confident) with meeting all research learning outcomes in a curriculum if they had recent experience (within the previous 12 months) of research or research-related activities, held a postgraduate research qualification, had undertaken research training outside of a postgraduate qualification, discussed research in their appraisal, or worked in the hospital sector. Conversely, male gender, years practicing, and protected time for research did not predict confidence.

Conclusion: A targeted approach, including improving access to research methods training, experience-based learning, mentorship, and linking research projects to key organizational objectives, could be the key to developing research capability and capacity across all sectors and career stages.

目的:以药剂师为主导的研究是优化药物使用和改善药学服务的关键,但它尚未广泛融入药剂师的职业生涯。本研究旨在确定达到英国皇家药剂师协会(RPS)注册后基础和核心高级课程中研究学习成果的信心预测因素,从而为药剂师行业的研究能力建设提供有针对性的建议:该研究是一项横断面电子调查,于 2023 年 3 月分发给符合条件的药剂师(n = 253)。该调查收集了人口统计学信息、研究经验以及对达到注册后药剂师基础课程和核心高级课程中研究学习成果的自述信心。我们使用两个二叉逻辑回归模型(每个课程一个)对预先确定的自变量进行了分析,以确定二分变量的预测因素:对达到该课程所有研究性学习成果的信心:如果参与者最近(过去 12 个月内)有研究或研究相关活动的经历、拥有研究生研究资格、接受过研究生资格以外的研究培训、在评估中讨论过研究或在医院部门工作,那么他们更有可能自我报告对达到课程中的所有研究性学习成果有信心(而不是没有信心)。相反,男性性别、从业年限和受保护的研究时间并不能预测信心:一个有针对性的方法,包括改善研究方法培训、基于经验的学习、导师制以及将研究项目与关键组织目标联系起来,可能是在所有部门和职业阶段发展研究能力的关键。
