“…However, some patients, especially those with low health literacy, have greater di culties in understanding postoperative rehabilitation information. These ndings are similar to those of King, S.R., and his colleagues, who reported that patients with low health literacy are more likely to be challenged by the speed of information delivery and the time and attention invested by medical staff in communication [10]. In addition, due to the lack of surgical treatment information and the low level of psychological security, patients' attention to medical information is focused on possible dangerous situations and even overinterpreted, giving up or fearing early activities to avoid their occurrence.…”

Background: The rehabilitation process of postoperative cardiac surgery patients integrates both long-term recovery from heart disease and short-term postsurgical rehabilitation, and patients may have fears about exercising that affect recovery from the disease and the surgical trauma. At present, few studies have focused on the real experience of patients with kinesiophobia after cardiac surgery. Objectives: To explore the real psychological experiences of patients with kinesiophobia after cardiac surgery and to understand kinesiophobia from the patient's perspective. Methods: This study used a phenomenological approach to recruit 21 participants. The data were gathered through semistructured in-depth face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed according to the Colaizzi phenomenology method. Results: Six themes were summarized: Barriers to nurse-patient communication; Psychological mapping caused by the external environment; Week support system ; Intrusive thinking; Postoperative adverse reaction; Health behavior dynamics: real practice behavior of early activities. Conclusions: Kinesiophobia in postoperative cardiac surgery patients is a change in psychological state resulting from three stimuli: external environment (medical staff, wardmates, and family), physiological (postoperative somatic sensation), and psychological, and all three influence and interact with each other. Coping with kinesiophobia in patients after cardiac surgery is a dynamic process that requires internal and external support.

“…However, this should not be at the expense of discussion with the patient about their experiences and preferences. Patient consultation during the request, diagnosis and counseling relating to the prescribed or selected medicine may be more complicated for at-risk patients [22], typically those with co-morbidities and polypharmacy needs, including elderly consumers and those with limited health and digital health literacy [23]. Whilst interoperability was highlighted as an important area in which technology could be improved, pharmacists noted that increased patient adoption and utilization of technologies, such as electronic health records, could further support timely access to more accurate patient information.…”

As the most accessible health professionals, community pharmacists' clinical knowledge and medicine expertise make them well placed to undertake professional services such as prescribing. All models of pharmacist prescribing can be supported by health information communication technology (ICT). However, no published research has explored pharmacists' technological needs when undertaking prescribing and other clinical services.In this paper we explore community pharmacists' ICT needs when undertaking prescribing and related services. We conducted semi-structured interviews with practicing Australian community pharmacists, using an interview guide informed by a systematic scoping review. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically using descriptive classification. Interviews were conducted with 24 Australian community pharmacists from diverse locations, practice backgrounds and settings. Their identified technological needs for prescribing were classified as support for 'clinical decision making ', 'communication', 'documentation', 'referral', and 'monitoring'. Pharmacists reported lack of interoperability between systems as the most significant ICT shortfall for prescribing. There is room to improve the functionality and integration of ICT systems to ensure Australian pharmacists are technologically supported to undertake all roles within the prescribing process. Software developers and vendors should ensure existing and future ICT is contemporaneous with the needs of users.

“…The study highlights the importance of effective communication between pharmacists and patients for providing person-centric care (Perepelkin, 2011 ). Effective patient-pharmacist communication is crucial for improving health outcomes, and pharmacists must develop competence in patient-centric communication, characterised by openness, active listening, and clear communication (Göçmen, 2020 King et al, 2021 ; Naughton, 2018 ; Scarabelin et al, 2019 ; Ulutaş et al, 2015 ;).…”

Background: In Turkey, the SMART pharmacist program was launched to enable community pharmacists to deliver patient-centric care services. However, how far this programme has achieved success and what are the challenges faced by the programme need to be evaluated. Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences of community pharmacists in providing person-centric care services in pharmacies and provide recommendations for improved care effectiveness. Methods: A phenomenological approach was adopted in this study. To conduct qualitative interviews, a semi-structured interview guide was devised to gather insights from the pharmacists. The interviews were coded verbatim. Subsequently, various themes and sub-themes were developed based on the aim and objectives of the study. A total of 14 pharmacists engaged in semi-structured interviews conducted between May and August 2023. Results: Two main themes emerged from the data: challenges in person-centric care and recommendations to improve person-centric care. Barriers were subdivided into patient-related challenges and personal challenges. Recommendations consisted of pharmacists’ professional tasks and recommendations. Conclusion: The findings of this study, suggest that the concerned healthcare authorities should re-evaluate the ‘SMART pharmacist’ program in Turkey and address professional and personal challenges faced by community pharmacists in delivering effective person-centric care. Pharmacists recommend patient follow-up (follow-ups), providing a counselling environment, collaboration with physicians, expansion of pharmacy services.
