Assessment of Community Pharmacists' Counseling Practices With Simulated Patients Who Have Minor Illness: A Pilot Study.
2015
A community pharmacist (CP) must provide counseling to consumers of nonprescription medicines and promote responsible self-medication. Previous studies indicate no available statistics on the proportion of pharmacies that provide cognitive services in Brazil. Furthermore, few studies have explored CPs’ performance regarding patient-centred cognitive services in community pharmacies. Thus, quality improvement initiatives are needed for the responsible provision of self-medication to fully integrate Brazilian CPs into patient-centred cognitive services. Consequently, the present study’s aim was to assess CPs’ performance in the management of cases with minor symptoms using nonprescription medicines.
