“…Kristina et al, (2020), menyebutkan apoteker harus terus belajar dan mendapatkan informasi terbaru yang valid. Jika hal ini dilakukan dengan baik maka dapat meningkatkan keterampilan dan kualitas pengetahuan apoteker dalam memberikan layanan telefarmasi (Kilova et al, 2021b). Sebagai ahli di bidang pengobatan, apoteker juga perlu membangun kerjasama dengan tenaga kesehatan lain untuk kepentingan layanan kesehatan pasien.…”

Pandemi coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) menyebabkan perubahan pelayanan kesehatan. Upaya mengurangi penyebaran COVID-19 adalah menjaga jarak dan menghindari kerumunan. Pada layanan kesehatan, telefarmasi memberikan akses cepat dan kenyamanan yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi peran dan perilaku apoteker dalam penggunaan telefarmasi serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penerapan telefarmasi selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode non-eksperimental kualitatif fenomenologis melalui wawancara mendalam. Informan diambil hingga data jenuh dan diperoleh 5 informan. Wawancara dilakukan langsung maupun online. Keabsahan data melalui uji kredibilitas dengan member checking, uji transferabilitas dengan uraian rinci, uji dependabilitas dan uji konfirmabilitas melalui peer debrifing. Hasil wawancara dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan proses berpikir induktif. Peran apoteker dalam telefarmasi selama pandemi COVID-19 adalah memberikan layanan telefarmasi yang profesional, sedangkan perilaku apoteker adalah memanfaatkan telefarmasi untuk memberikan layanan farmasi klinik dan menggunakan media yang bervariasi. Faktor pendukung penerapan telefarmasi selama pandemi adalah kerja sama rekan sejawat dan keluarga pasien, peraturan terkait dukungan telefarmasi, dan pandemi COVID-19; sedangkan faktor penghambatnya adalah teknologi, hambatan finansial pasien, penerimaan pasien terhadap telefarmasi, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia dan waktu.

Background: Telepharmacy has emerged as the latest approach for remote pharmaceutical services. However, some factors influence the success of this technology, such as pharmacists knowledge, readiness to adopt, and perspectives. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge, perception, and readiness to use telepharmacy systems among pharmacists. Methods: Articles from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus (November 2023) were reviewed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines in 2022. Inclusion criteria encompassed cross-sectional studies examining knowledge, perception, and readiness to use telepharmacy among pharmacists within the last ten years. The quality of studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist. Results: Eight articles were included in the study, with the largest respondent pool from a study in Vietnam (414) and the smallest from Indonesia (78). All included articles demonstrated good quality with no significant bias. Five studies discussed knowledge levels, with four showing good knowledge (89.74%, 82.67%, 62.3%, 96.83%). Regarding telepharmacy perspectives, two studies had less favorable perspectives. Three studies indicated adequate readiness for telepharmacy implementation (87%, 72%, 63.23%), while one was unprepared (27.74%). Conclusion: Most studies show good knowledge, perception, and readiness to implement telepharmacy. There is a need for telepharmacy training programs in pharmacy schools or hospitals. Keywords: Telepharmacy; Knowledge; Perception; Readiness to Use; Pharmacists

“…Using information and communication technology in pharmacy and healthcare opens up new ways to provide health services and helps solve the problem of a lack of health professionals [ 1 ]. Electronic health records and other new technologies, such as electronic health information systems, make it easier for pharmacists to find information about an exam or a drug therapy that was prescribed.…”

Telepharmacy is a technology-based service that provides promoted services such as counseling, medication administration and compounding, drug therapy monitoring, and prescription review. It is unclear whether hospital pharmacists possess the necessary knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to practice telepharmacy. The current study sought to investigate Saudi Arabian hospital pharmacists’ understanding, attitudes, and level of preparedness for telepharmacy services. A total of 411 pharmacists responded to the survey. Only 43.33% of the respondents agreed that telepharmacy is available in Saudi Arabia and 36.67% of the respondents agreed that patients in rural areas can have more medication access and information via telepharmacy. Only 29.33% of pharmacists agreed that telepharmacy improves patient medication adherence, and about 34.00% of the pharmacists agreed that telepharmacy saves patients money and time by eliminating the need for them to travel to healthcare facilities. This research found that hospital pharmacists were unsure of their level of knowledge, their attitude toward telepharmacy, and their willingness to incorporate it into their future pharmacy practices. To ensure that tomorrow’s pharmacists have the skills they need to provide telepharmacy services, telepharmacy practice models must be incorporated into the educational programs that prepare them.
