目的：确定运动员是否有兴趣从超市药剂师那里获得有关运动补充剂的建议，并确定药剂师在提供各种运动补充剂咨询方面的知识、信心和热情。方法：制定并实施两项横断面调查。2017年2月中旬至3月中旬，对俄亥俄州西北部当地健身设施的运动员进行了一项调查，对连锁药店的药剂师进行了一项调查。运动员调查收集了人口统计信息，信息来源，购买的产品，包括他们的位置和选择因素，以及对提供运动补充咨询的药剂师的看法。药剂师调查收集了人口统计信息；有知识、有信心、有热情提供运动补充咨询；对咨询效益的认知；提供体育补充咨询服务的实施障碍。结果：本次运动员调查共有129名参与者。运动员主要报告从补充剂商店获得运动补充剂信息，只有2%的人表示使用药剂师。虽然52%的人说他们会和药剂师谈论运动补充剂，但66%的人说他们对药剂师健康水平的看法会影响他们是否会接近他或她。药剂师调查共有143名参与者。在李克特5点量表（1 =强烈不同意，5 =强烈同意）上，他们的知识、信心和热情陈述的平均值（SD）为2.49 (0.89)；2.61 (0.94);和3.54（0.87）。92% （n = 130）的药剂师认为提供运动补充剂咨询是有益的。感知到的障碍包括缺乏知识、证据和时间。结论：药剂师并未被确定为运动补充剂的主要来源，但运动员愿意与知识渊博且身体健康的药剂师讨论这个话题。药剂师认为他们缺乏对运动补充产品的知识和信心，但表示有热情提供咨询。通过适当的教育和工具，运动药学咨询可以成为社区药房药学服务的可行扩展。(C) 2018年由爱思唯尔公司代表美国药剂师协会出版。
Objectives: To identify athletes' interests in receiving advice about sports supplements from a pharmacist in a supermarket setting and to identify pharmacists' knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm for providing counseling on various sports supplements.Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were developed and administered. One survey was administered to athletes at local northwestern Ohio fitness facilities, and 1 survey was administered to pharmacists in chain pharmacies during mid-February to mid-March 2017. The athlete survey gathered demographic information, information sources, products purchased, including their location and selection factors, and perceptions of pharmacists providing sports supplement counseling. The pharmacist survey gathered demographic information; knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm for providing sports supplement counseling; perceptions of counseling benefit; and barriers to implementation of providing a sports supplement counseling service.Results: The athlete survey had 129 participants. Athletes primarily reported obtaining sports supplement information from supplement stores, and only 2% indicated using a pharmacist. Although 52% said they would talk to a pharmacist about sports supplements, 66% said their perception of a pharmacist's fitness level would influence whether or not they would approach him or her.The pharmacist survey had 143 participants. On a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree), the mean (SD) of their knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm statements were 2.49 (0.89); 2.61 (0.94); and 3.54 (0.87), respectively. Ninety-two percent (n = 130) of pharmacists thought it would be beneficial to provide counseling on sports supplements. Perceived barriers included lack of knowledge, evidence, and time.Conclusion: Pharmacists were not identified as a primary resource for sports supplements, but athletes would be willing to discuss this topic with knowledgeable and physically fit pharmacists. Pharmacists felt that they lacked knowledge and confidence regarding sports supplement products but noted enthusiasm to provide counseling. Sports pharmacy counseling could be a viable expansion of pharmacy services in community pharmacies with proper education and tools.
