“…To this end, the University of Toronto, by way of example, stated their pharmacy graduates will deliver the enhanced scope of practice called for by the Canadian healthcare system [ 6 ].

et al. 2022

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine the relative rankings of 17 key components in an undergraduate program. The degree of discrepancy between curricular content and that of student and pharmacist expectations was also of interest. An online questionnaire was emailed to both groups in one Canadian province. Respondents considered four questions related to the nature and adequacy of education they did receive (pharmacists) or should receive (students) and the relative importance of key topic areas (along 11-point scales). The response rate was 31.0 (students) and 10.8 percent (pharmacists). As expected, both students and pharmacists identified therapeutics and patient counselling as critical focal points for the program, while the importance of compounding was mixed. Most topics were deemed as best handled during the didactic program, with students seeing greater value in learning a larger portion of two skills (injection training and managerial duties) post-graduation. In conclusion, discrepancies were indeed found. For students, topics such as injection training and minor ailment prescribing were perceived as receiving too little attention, while communication, pharmaceutical sciences, and professionalism received too much attention. In a significant departure in perspective, pharmacists rated communication, ethical decision-making, and professionalism almost two points higher than did students.

“…The research conducted so far has focused on the Polish students’ opinions on pharmaceutical care, which also contained health promotion, provided in pharmacies [ 22 ] or in the neonatal intensive care units [ 23 ]. Studies performed in Canada [ 24 ], Qatar [ 18 ] and Malaysia [ 25 ] showed that pharmacy students find themselves prepared to perform tasks in the area of health promotion. However, these studies wanted to assess the influence of taking part in public health events as a part of educational process on students’ knowledge and skill development.…”

Background: One of the parts of the broadly understood pharmaceutical care is health promotion. Therefore, the study aimed to find out how pharmacy students in Poland assess their own readiness to promote health in pharmacies and their own qualifications, competences, relevance, motivation and effectiveness of health promotion in pharmacies. Methods: The study conducted in 2019 comprised 206 pharmacy students from Poland. The authors’ survey questionnaire had two parts: Readiness to promote health in pharmacies; and Qualifications, competences, relevance, motivation and effectiveness of health promotion in pharmacies. Results: The students assessed the system solutions regarding health promotion as insufficient. The highest assessment was given to their own readiness to promote health. In between those was assessment of readiness to promote health by pharmacists as an occupational group. Readiness to promote health at a workplace in a pharmacy was assessed higher than in a local community. The students gave the highest assessments to the relevance and motivation to promote health, and the lowest to their own competences to promote health. In between those, their qualifications and effectiveness to health promotion in pharmacies. were assessed. Conclusions: Pharmacy students consider themselves ready and motivated to promote health, that is of a great importance in their opinion, and they could potentially play an important role in improving the health care of patients.

Background Since the first report of COVID-19 in 2019, information released has been fast and vast. Health literacy focuses on individual skills to obtain, process, and understand health information and services necessary to make informed health decisions. Increasing the level of health literacy can be addressed by the provision of high-quality, trustworthy, easy-to-access, and easy-to-understand information about COVID-19. This work aimed to assess COVID-19-related health literacy in the Egyptian population living in Alexandria and determine its associated factors. This cross-sectional study was performed during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, using a questionnaire assessing COVID-19-related health literacy, adapted from HLS-EU-Q. The work included four phases. The first phase was questionnaire designing and tools used. The second phase included questionnaire filling by participants. The third phase was concerned with increasing population awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic. The fourth phase was the statistical analysis of the data. Results The sample compromised 3960 persons. More than half of the Egyptian population living in Alexandria have inadequate or problematic COVID-19-related health literacy scores. Female gender, younger age, higher socioeconomic status, professions with a medical background, and level of education were positively correlated with COVID-19-related health literacy. Conclusion COVID-19-related health literacy levels in the Egyptian population living in Alexandria are not sufficient. Policymakers, healthcare providers, and media must act proactively to increase the level of the citizens’ COVID-19-related health literacy and prepare them for other pandemics that may come later.
