社区药剂师在减少COVID-19相关的继发性健康问题方面发挥着重要作用。然而，日本药剂师对COVID-19的知识、态度和实践（KAP）尚未阐明。我们在日本的健康支持药房（HSP）工作的1，137名药剂师中进行了基于网络的问卷调查。这些药剂师负责向社区居民提供健康咨询。我们评估了药剂师的COVID-19相关KAP，并比较了两个年龄组的结果：≤49岁和≥50岁。我们使用多元回归分析来研究哪些因素会影响COVID-19的KAP得分。在日本的2，141名HSP中，共有1，137名药剂师，每个人都代表不同的HSP，回答了调查。结果显示，自COVID-19疫情开始以来，药剂师一直为当地居民提供有关COVID-19的咨询，涵盖“有效的感染预防方法”（60. 6%）及“COVID-19疫情会是什么”（48. 8%）等主题。重要的是，73.5%的药剂师认为他们“没有足够的关于COVID-19的信息”。有关COVID-19的主要信息来源是互联网（91. 2%）和电视（78. 9%）。在所有受访者中，平均知识得分（4.17/10）低于态度（7.26/10）和做法（5.79/10）的平均得分。多元回归分析显示，拥有足够的COVID-19信息是与KAP总分密切相关的因素（p<0.001; 95%置信区间，-1.344至-0.540）。在社区药房工作的药剂师为居民提供COVID-19相关信息。作为健康合作伙伴，这些药剂师需要一种方法来加强和扩展他们的知识，以及他们支持社区居民的能力。更多地了解现有的学术和科学信息，以及获得准确的流行病学信息，可以提供实现这些目标的手段。
Community pharmacists play an important role in reducing COVID-19-related secondary health problems. However, the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-19 among pharmacists in Japan have not yet been elucidated. We conducted a web-based questionnaire survey among 1,137 pharmacists working in health support pharmacies (HSPs) in Japan. These pharmacists are responsible for providing health consultations to community residents. We assessed COVID-19-related KAP among pharmacists and compared the results for two age groups: ≤49 years and ≥50 years. We used multiple regression analysis to examine which factors influence KAP scores regarding COVID-19. From among the 2,141 HSPs in Japan, a total of 1,137 pharmacists, each representing a different HSP, responded to the survey. The results indicated that since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacists have been providing consultations about COVID-19 to local residents, covering topics such as “Effective infection prevention methods” (60.6%) and “What the COVID-19 pandemic would be” (48.8%). Importantly, 73.5% of the pharmacists felt they “did not have enough information about COVID-19.” The main information resources about COVID-19 were Internet (91.2%) and television (78.9%). Across all respondents, the mean knowledge score (4.17/10) was lower than the mean scores for attitudes (7.26/10) and practices (5.79/10). Multiple regression analysis showed that having enough information about COVID-19 was a factor strongly associated with total KAP scores (p<0.001; 95% confidence interval, −1.344 to −0.540). Pharmacists working in community pharmacies provide residents with information related to COVID-19. In this role as a health partner, these pharmacists need a way to strengthen and expand their knowledge, and moreover, their ability to support community residents. Learning more about the available academic and scientific information, as well as having access to accurate epidemiological information, can offer a means of reaching these goals.
