“…Many barriers have been mentioned by different authors. Communication troubles and lack of time of pharmacists and of other health providers have been found in studies that explored facilitators (Gastelurrutia et al, 2009) and barriers to pharmacotherapy follow-up (Hidalgo et al, 2005), and the implementation of pharmaceutical care services (Uema et al, 2008). A research study performed by the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe compiled and structured into domains a list of 25 barriers, identified by structured interviews with pharmacists from 11 European countries.…”

This study was carried out to understand the perceptions and expectations of the other health care professionals about pharmacists' role in primary health care centers and hospitals in Santiago de Cuba (Cuba). A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, applying a self-administered questionnaire to health care professionals. The sample included 763 professionals (40.9% physicians and 59.1 % nurses) from hospitals and primary health care clinics, chosen by random stratified sampling,. The most common activity performed by pharmacists was the distribution of medications or the drug supply management (51.5%) and adverse drug reactions reporting (29.4%), activities performed daily by pharmacists. Pharmaceutical care practice was considered as poor by the professionals, and only 15.6% of them have collaborated in these programs in the past. For nurses and physicians, interprofessional communication occurs sometimes (56.9%) and never (25.8%). Pharmacists' integration into the health team was considered as fair (50.7%). A total of 70.1% perceived the pharmacist as a drug expert and 60.1% as a professional who provides medication counseling. The main expectations these health care professionals expressed were that pharmacists provide more education about medication (97.4%) and improve their interprofessional communication techniques in order to communicate more effectively with the other members of the health care team (96.6%).Uniterms: Pharmacists/professional functions.

Um estudo descritivo transversal foi conduzido, através da aplicação de um questionário autoadministrado a uma amostra de 763 profissionais de atenção primária e hospitalar, 40,9% de médicos e 59,1% de enfermeiros. As funções farmacêuticas mais reconhecidas pelos profissionais desta amostra foram o fornecimento e distribuição de medicamentos (51,5%) e o relato de reações adversas medicamentosas (29,4%), funções desenvolvidas diariamente. A prática da atenção farmacêutica é limitada na percepção dos profissionais e apenas 15,6% têm participado em programas desse tipo. Comunicação interprofissional ocorre às vezes (56,9%) e nunca (25,8%), com maiores dificuldades na atenção primária de saúde. A integração do farmacêutico na equipe de saúde foi considerada regular (50,7%). Um total de 70,1% dos profissionais percebeu o farmacêutico como especialista em medicamentos e 64,1% como o profissional que aconselha sobre o uso de medicamentos. As principais expectativas colocam-se na necessidade de que o farmacêutico ofereça educação sobre o uso de medicamentos (97,4%) e reforce as suas técnicas da comunicação na equipe multidisciplinar (96,6%).Unitermos: Farmacêutico/funções profissionais.

“…Studies which gathered data using self-completion questionnaires and independent observation highlighted the discrepancies between 'reported' and 'actual' practices, verifying that knowledge is often not translated into action. Changing and improving professional practice needs to be addressed in the context of a holistic approach that takes into account the systems and organisation of care, regulation, education, processes and operation in the provision and delivery of care and the perspectives of all stakeholders [13,[55][56][57]. Delivering a high standard of care must be a high priority for the profession.…”

“…Moreover their findings showed that lack of remuneration has great effect in the progression of the practice. Lack of pharmacists' time was also identified in many other studies [15,17,21,22] as the major barrier limiting pharmacists' provision of advance health services. However, other studies findings showed some differences.…”
