这项研究是为了了解其他卫生保健专业人员对药剂师在古巴圣地亚哥初级卫生保健中心和医院中的作用的看法和期望。进行了横断面描述性研究，对卫生保健专业人员进行了自填式问卷调查。调查对象为763名来自医院和初级卫生保健诊所的专业人员(医生占40.9%，护士占59.1%)，采用分层随机抽样方法。药剂师最常见的活动是药品分配或药品供应管理(51.5%)和药品不良反应报告(29.4%)，这是药剂师每天进行的活动。药学服务实践被专业人士认为很差，其中只有15.6%的人过去曾合作过这些项目。对于护士和医生来说，职业间交流有时会发生(56.9%)，从来不会(25.8%)。50.7%的人认为药剂师融入医疗团队的情况较好。70.1%的人认为药剂师是药物专家，60.1%的人认为药剂师是提供药物咨询的专业人员。这些医护人员表达的主要期望是药师提供更多的药物知识教育(97.4%)，并提高他们的跨专业沟通技巧，以便更有效地与卫生保健团队的其他成员沟通(96.6%)。
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%).
