“…The use of real-life scenarios and the inclusion of multidisciplinary teams during training have shown improvements in the skills of healthcare professionals [ 69 ]. In the same way, studies including role-play as part of the training have demonstrated improved professional skills (e.g., recognition of possible scenarios and solutions, increased confidence and communication skills, promoted effective discussion, and active participation) [ 70 , 71 ]. Despite this, some studies assessing pharmacists’ confidence to provide mental health services using self-assessment tools have identified that participants often overestimate their confidence to deliver the services in practice after training [ 72 , 73 ].…”

The burden of mental health problems continues to grow worldwide. Community pharmacists’, as part of the primary care team, optimise care for people living with mental illness. This study aims to examine the factors that support or hinder the delivery of mental health services delivered in Australian community pharmacies and proposes ideas for improvement. A qualitative study was conducted comprising focus groups with community pharmacists and pharmacy staff across metropolitan, regional, and rural areas of New South Wales, Australia. Data were collected in eight focus groups between December 2020 and June 2021. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Thirty-three community pharmacists and pharmacy staff participated in an initial round of focus groups. Eleven community pharmacists and pharmacy staff participated in a second round of focus groups. Twenty-four factors that enable or hinder the delivery of mental health services in community pharmacy were identified. Participant’s perception of a lack of recognition and integration of community pharmacy within primary care were identified as major barriers, in addition to consumers’ stigma and lack of awareness regarding service offering. Suggestions for improvement to mental health care delivery in community pharmacy included standardised practice through the use of protocols, remuneration and public awareness. A framework detailing the factors moderating pharmacists, pharmacy staff and consumers’ empowerment in mental health care delivery in community pharmacy is proposed. This study has highlighted that policy and funding support for mental health services is needed that complement and expand integrated models, promote access to services led by or are conducted in collaboration with pharmacists and recognise the professional contribution and competencies of community pharmacists in mental health care. The framework proposed may be a step to strengthening mental health support delivered in community pharmacies.

“…Sensitive and difficult patient topics of conversation (Westberg et al, 2006;Schultz & Marks, 2007;Marken et al, 2010;Eukel et al, 2021) included: suicide risk (Boukouvalas et al, 2018;El-Den et al, 2018;Willson et al, 2020), cancer (Serag-Bolos et al, 2018), vaccination (Vyas et al, 2018), risk of opioid abuse (Thakur et al, 2019), teratogenic drugs (Haddad, 2010), pregnancy, erectile dysfunction (Kerr et al, 2021b), pharmacogenetics (Powers et al, 2019), and end of life palliative care (Efstathiou & Walker, 2014;Thomas et al, 2021). The skills worked on included social competencies, attitude toward elderly patients, cultural competence, assertiveness (Luiz Adrian et al, 2015), leadership, verbal and non-verbal behaviour (Barker et al, 2018), communication skills (Rickles et al, 2009), social competence (Galal et al, 2012), empathy and holistic care (Gülpınar & Özçelikay, 2021;Thomas et al, 2021).…”

Background: Simulation training enhances non-technical skills and patient safety in pharmacy education, fostering healthcare knowledge and interprofessional collaboration. These training programmes are crucial for instructing pharmacy students in establishing therapeutic and interprofessional relationships with patients and healthcare providers. The objective of this scoping review was to examine not only the simulation training activities currently available to pharmacy students but also their effectiveness and then to identify areas in non-technical skills that still need to be taught. Methods: A scoping review focused on “simulation training” and “pharmacy students” was conducted, excluding virtual simulation. Initial searches in Scopus, MEDLINE and ERIC were performed on June 6, 2020, with a follow-up on February 25, 2022. Both English and French articles were considered, guided by PRISMA-ScR. Results: From 812 initial papers, 140 met inclusion criteria, revealing two simulation modalities: simulated patient and hybrid. Hybrid modality facilitated interprofessional simulation. Simulation training in patient communication, medication counselling and interprofessional education was seen to have the most impact on students. Conclusion: Simulation training was found to be an efficient method of teaching non-technical skills such as communication, medication counselling and interprofessional collaboration for patient-centred care and interprofessional exchanges in pharmacy education programmes.

“…Bunun sonucunda, eczacılık fakültesinde müfredat güncellemesi yapılarak, teknik olmayan beceriler üzerine simülasyon uygulamalarının yer aldığı zorunlu ders içeriği hazırlanmıştır. Ayrıca, söz konusu uygulamanın yapıldığı eczacılık fakültesi dışında, Türkiye'de farklı eczacılık fakültelerinde de simülasyon uygulamaları yaygınlaşmaya başlamıştır [33,34].…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, eczacılık ve eczane teknikerliği öğrencilerinin meslekler arası simülasyon uygulaması ile bir araya getirilerek birbirlerini tanımaları ve bu uygulamaya ilişkin ilgili görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında, 27 eczacılık ve 51 eczane teknikerliği öğrencisinin katıldığı standart hasta görüşmeleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşme sonrasında öğrencilerin yazılı geri bildirimleri alınarak nitel bulgular betimsel analiz aşamalarına uygun bir şekilde, MaxQDA v11 ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç ve Tartışma: Bu bulgular doğrultusunda “Eczane içi etkileşim”, “Görev paylaşımı”, “Eğitim çıktıları” ve “Fiziksel imkanlar” temaları ortaya çıkmıştır. Eczacılık alanındaki benzer çalışmalarla örtüşen bulguların elde edildiği bu çalışmada, öğrencilerin değerlendirmelerinin, mezuniyet sonrasındaki teknikerler ile olan işbirliğinin temellerinin atılması açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bununla birlikte, çalışmamızın elde edilen sonuçları ışığında, eğitim programında yapılan güncellemelerin mesleki uygulamalara olumlu katkıları olacağına inanılmaktadır.
