冠状病毒病2019(新冠肺炎)对世界医疗体系造成了不利影响，但它也为医疗专业人员带来了创新角色，以迎合日益增长的医疗需求。社区药剂师提供社区药房服务，并可以通过发挥新的作用来补充其先前存在的作用，从而在抗击大流行方面发挥至关重要的作用。这项研究旨在对新冠肺炎大流行期间社区药剂师采用的新角色的当前和新兴文献进行范围回顾。以“新冠肺炎”、“药剂师”和“社区”为关键词对谷歌学者和PubMed等在线数据库进行系统搜索。文章的选择是基于英文全文的可用性，时间限制为2019年12月1日至2021年10月31日；包括案例报告、横断面研究、文献综述、定性研究和系统综述，而评论评论和社论不在搜索方法之外。根据与研究对象的相关性，对这些文章进行了独立审查，以纳入其中；选择的文章被筛选为参考文献，以寻找更多的灰色文献。调查结果按主题排列，结果也相应地进行了组织。社区药剂师在维持药品供应链、提供远程药房和远程保健服务、提供门诊药房服务、使用数字软件协调慢性病患者的用药、消除错误信息以及在研究和临床试验中的作用方面发挥了新的作用。还探讨了后COVID世界在人群免疫接种和与其他利益攸关方一起参与解除封锁限制方面的作用。尽管新冠肺炎挑战了医疗体系，但它也为发展新的创新角色提供了机会，这些角色最终可能会对医疗体系产生深远的影响。尽管社区药剂师在社区面临多重挑战，但应促进他们适应这些新的角色，这有助于在后COVID世界实现大规模免疫接种和更好的卫生保健。
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected the world health care system adversely, but it has also brought out innovative roles for health care professionals to cater to growing health care needs. Community pharmacists provide community pharmacy services and can play a vital role in fighting the pandemic by taking on novel roles that complement their pre-existing roles. This study aimed to provide a scoping review of current and emerging literature about the novel roles adopted by community pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed were searched systematically using the keywords “COVID-19,” “pharmacist,” and “community.” Articles were selected based on availability of full text in English language, with time limit from December 1, 2019, to October 31, 2021; case reports, cross-sectional studies, literature reviews, qualitative studies, and systematic reviews were included, whereas commentary reviews and editorials were excluded from the search methodology. An independent review of the articles was conducted for inclusion based on relatability to study subject; those chosen were screened for references to find additional gray literature. Findings were arranged in themes, and the results were organized accordingly. Novel roles for community pharmacists were found in relation to maintenance of drug-supply chains, delivery of telepharmacy and telehealth services, provision of ambulatory pharmacy services, use of digital software to coordinate medication delivery for patients with chronic conditions, dispelling of misinformation, and roles in research and clinical trials. Roles in a post-COVID world regarding immunization of population and involvement in lifting lockdown strictures alongside other stakeholders were also explored. Although COVID-19 has challenged the health care system, it has also provided an opportunity for development of novel and innovative roles that can ultimately have profound consequences for the health care system. Community pharmacists, despite facing multiple challenges in the community, should be facilitated to adapt with these new roles, which can be beneficial in achieving mass immunization and better health care in a post-COVID world.
