“…Collecting various perspectives from multiple evaluators increases the range of assessment, and in turn the validity and reliability of the measurement [38]. Some studies have examined the development of elements of professional behaviour among students, rather than pharmacists [39,40]. Brown and Ferrill [26] noted, however, that behavioural assessments conducted in pharmacy schools before graduation are prone to be influenced by the students’ enthusiasm to achieve good grades, rather than being reflective of the student’s true values.…”

Purpose: In contemporary pharmacy, the role of pharmacists has become more multifaceted, as they now handle a wider range of tasks and take more responsibility for providing patient care than 20 years ago. This evolution in pharmacists’ responsibilities has been accompanied by the need for pharmacists to display high-quality patient-centred care and counselling, and to demonstrate professionalism, which now needs to be taught and assessed as part of pharmacy education and practice. This study aimed at identifying definitions of professionalism in pharmacy practice and critically evaluating published instruments for assessing professionalism in pharmacy practice.Methods: We searched the medical literature listed in Scopus, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2018. All papers meeting our selection criteria were reviewed and summarised into a clear review of professionalism requirements in pharmacy practice. Details of the instruments measuring professionalism were reviewed in detail.Results: There is no accepted simple definition of professionalism, although we identified several theoretical and policy frameworks required for professional pharmaceutical practice. We identified 4 instruments (the Behavioural Professionalism Assessment Instrument, Lerkiatbundit’s instrument, the Pharmacy Professionalism Instrument, and the Professionalism Assessment Tool that build on these frameworks and measure professional practice in pharmacy students. These were found to be reliable and valid, but had only been used and tested in student populations.Conclusion: Given the increasingly broad role of community pharmacists, there is a need for assessments of professionalism in practice. Professionalism is a complex concept that is challenging to measure because it has no standardised definition and the existing literature related to the topic is limited. Currently available instruments focus on measuring the development of the elements of professionalism among pharmacy students, rather than pharmacists.

“…{A pharmacist's moral compass}, therefore, implies that pharmacists base their decisions and actions both on the interests of the patient and on the interests of furthering medical science. Miklich et al reported that professionally engaged pharmacists "think and behave in ways that positively affect patients' health and advance the profession's values and societal mission" [10] (p. 5). Additionally, medical actions are considered sound if they conform to the four principles of biomedical ethics (autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice) [11].…”

How Community Pharmacists Perceive Ethics in Clinical Research: A Qualitative Study

et al. 2021

In recent years, the importance of building evidence in clinical practice that is increasingly acknowledged globally has been recognized in Japan as well, and it is expected that clinical research by community pharmacists will grow. In Japan, however, community pharmacists have few opportunities to learn about research ethics and may lack the training to make ethical decisions. We conducted a questionnaire survey of community pharmacists (n = 200) using a free descriptive format to understand how they perceived research ethics. Our qualitative analysis of 170 respondents revealed various perspectives (<A pharmacist’s grounding>, <How pharmacists perceive research>, and <Ethical issues entailed by research>) of Japanese pharmacists on ethics in the context of clinical research. With respect to how to understand research, the following perspectives were found: “research that prioritizes researchers,” “research that prioritizes research subjects (patients),” and “research that enters into regular work.” The perspectives on “research that prioritizes research subjects (patients)” and “research that enters into regular work” may inadvertently lead to ethically inappropriate research due to mismatch in professional values or poor understanding of research. These findings can contribute to the development of an educational program for community pharmacists on research ethics.

“…For each section, panelists could distribute a total of 50 points among the potential save items with 30 points being the maximum allowed for any 1 item. Panelists could also choose to distribute all or a portion of the available points to a leftover point item indicating no further recommendations for promoting an item to essential status 30. The decision to promote an item to essential status was based on the overall strength of recommendation as determined by the percentage of possible save points assigned to the item.…”

on the final list of essential components and related operational definitions. Results: A clear consensus on the essential components of examination and interventions was achieved. In general, there were 4 to 6 items across each category of history, tests and measures, education/goals, and treatment. Conclusions: The prioritization of these management items will better support clinicians working with adults who have osteoporosis.
