Table_1_Exploring the Pharmaceutical Care of Pharmacists in China During COVID-19—A National Multicenter Qualitative Study.DOCX

BackgroundPharmacists are one of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) treatment team members in China, yet only a few single-center studies have described the work experience of pharmacists during the pandemic.
PurposeThis study aimed to explore in-depth experiences of hospital pharmacists providing pharmacy services during the COVID-19 pandemic in China on a national scale.
MethodsThis is a nationwide multicenter qualitative study that used the purposive sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 pharmacists from large-scale tertiary hospitals in representative provinces of mainland China. The Colaizzi seven-step method was applied to analyze the interview data.
ResultsEleven semi-structured interviews were conducted. Each interview lasted 25–70 min. By analyzing the work experiences of pharmacists in COVID-19 designated treatment hospitals, five descriptive themes were categorized: (1) drug supply service; (2) routine clinical pharmacy services; (3) expanded pharmacy services during the epidemic; (4) drug management loopholes; (5) areas of improvements of pharmacy services during a pandemic.
ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 epidemic, Chinese hospital pharmacists played various vital roles. However, there were loopholes in managing narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, and donated drugs. The study uncovered areas of improvement in pharmacy services during the pandemic. The emergency response capacity of hospital pharmacists should be continuously improved in the future.

研究背景：药师是中国新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）救治团队的成员之一，但目前仅有少数单中心研究对疫情期间药师的工作经验进行了阐述。
研究目的：本研究旨在全国范围内深入探究中国医院药师在新冠肺炎疫情期间开展药学服务的工作经验。
研究方法：本研究为一项全国性多中心定性研究，采用目的抽样法。研究对来自中国大陆代表性省份大型三级医院的11名药师开展了半结构化访谈，并采用科莱齐（Colaizzi）七步法对访谈数据进行分析。
研究结果：本研究共完成11次半结构化访谈，单次访谈时长为25至70分钟。通过对新冠肺炎定点救治医院中药师的工作经验进行分析，最终归纳出5个描述性主题：（1）药品供给服务；（2）常规临床药学服务；（3）疫情期间拓展的药学服务；（4）药品管理漏洞；（5）疫情期间药学服务的改进方向。
研究结论：在新冠肺炎疫情期间，中国医院药师承担了多种至关重要的职责。但当前在麻醉药品、精神药品及捐赠药品的管理方面仍存在漏洞。本研究明确了疫情期间药学服务的改进领域，未来需持续提升医院药师的应急响应能力。
