0126/2022 - Prescrição farmacêutica: uma revisão sobre percepções e atitudes de pacientes, farmacêuticos e outros interessados Pharmacist Prescribing: a review of perceptions and attitudes of patients, pharmacists and other stakeholders
A prescrição farmacêutica é uma experiência em expansão em alguns países desenvolvidos, com diferentes sistemas de saúde. Conhecer a contribuição que essa atividade pode desempenhar no processo de assistência à saúde, e investigar sua aceitação é de fundamental interesse para os países que a regularam. Este estudo de revisão de literatura, portanto, objetivou desenhar o estado da arte da investigação acadêmica sobre a percepção, opiniões e atitudes no contexto da prática da prescrição farmacêutica em países que a adotaram. Para isso realizou-se investigação nas bases de dados Medline, Scopus, Embase, SciELO e Lilacs, resultando na seleção de 17 estudos. Da análise dos artigos, emergiram três categorias de discussão: “compreensão da prática e benefícios percebidos”; “aceitação e adesão à prática”; “barreiras à prática”. Os resultados mostraram aceitação e percepções variáveis nos diferentes públicos, dependendo, dentre outras questões, do nível de conhecimento e experiência dos pacientes e dos profissionais de saúde, do perfil do farmacêutico ou da modalidade de prescrição. Este estudo aponta alguns desafios envolvidos na prática da prescrição farmacêutica e seus achados podem ser úteis para sugerir caminhos para o fortalecimento da prática.
