“…In fact, alongside intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapists, many pharmacists belong to one of the groups that face the greatest Coronavirus risks both physically and mentally (Al-Quteimat & Amer, 2021; Elbeddini, Prabaharan, et al, 2020). This is because, in addition to their increased daily burden of ensuring drug supply, many of them actively engaged in frontline treatment work such as developing local treatment protocols and participating in patient rounds (Carico, 2020; Grabenstein, 2020; Li et al, 2020; Worthington & Tedder, 2020). For example, A recent study in France demonstrated that up to 35% of pharmacists experienced a high level of psychological disturbance during the lockdown period (Lange et al, 2020).…”

This study investigated the impacts of risk perception of COVID-19 on anxiety and depression symptoms among hospital pharmacists in China. We conducted a cross-sectional study with hospital pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Some 4,219 hospital pharmacists completed an online survey including demographic questions, risk perception of COVID-19, General Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Multivariate regression and mediation analyses were conducted. The results indicated that 41.9% and 29.4% of hospital pharmacists experienced mild to severe levels of anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively. In older age, a higher level of risk perception of COVID-19, and negative affect experience were risk factors, whereas positive affect experience was a protective factor for anxiety and depression symptoms among pharmacists. Experience of positive and negative affect mediated the relationship between risk perception of COVID-19 and anxiety and depression among hospital pharmacists in China. Timely mental health services need to be provided for hospital pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Given that population-wide engagement in health-protective behaviors is critical for reducing the transmission of infectious diseases [3][4][5], more research is needed to understand the mechanisms that accounts for people's engagement in healthprotective behaviors. As many pharmacists actively engaged in the coordinated efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, such as developing local treatment protocols and participating in patient rounds, they faced a high risk of infection during the pandemic [12][13][14]. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that influence their engagement in health-protective behaviors during COVID-19.…”

Background Risk perception is an important predictor of health-protective behaviors during pandemics. However, the underlying mechanism connecting risk perception and health-protective behaviors is not well understood. The current study investigates how risk perception predicts hospital pharmacists’ engagement in health-protective behaviors during the peak period of COVID-19 pandemic in China and the mediating effects of lay theories of health and self-efficacy. Method A cross-sectional study on risk perception and engagement in health-protective behaviors was conducted among hospital pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. A total of 4121 hospital pharmacists completed the study. Results Risk perception, self-efficacy, and lay theories of health were significant predictors of health-protective behaviors among pharmacists. Lay (entity) theories of health and self-efficacy mediated the relationship between risk perception and engagement in health-protective behaviors among hospital pharmacists. Conclusion Risk perception, self-efficacy, and lay theories (entity versus incremental) of health significantly predicted hospital pharmacists’ engagement in health-protective behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in China.
