Background An infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus (later called
COVID-19) reached pandemic levels in 2020 and community pharmacists were involved
in responding to this pandemic, also in Kosovo. Objectives To explore the
experiences of community pharmacists in relation to provision of community
pharmacy services during COVID-19 pandemic. Setting Community pharmacists in
Kosovo. Methods This was a cross-sectional study where data was collected via a
self-administered online questionnaire, from 264 pharmacists actively practicing
in Kosovo during the pandemic. The questionnaire consisted of a combination of
closed and open-ended questions, optional statements and statements on a
five-point Likert scale, derived at least in part from the Transtheoretical
Model. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze differences in responses
to Likert-type items whereas categorical variables were analyzed using Chi square
testing. Main outcome measures Community pharmacists' perceptions on COVID-19
related preventative measures. Results A response rate of 40.6% was achieved.
Sufficient and adequate COVID-19-related preventative measures were being
implemented by a majority of pharmacies (n?=?232; 87.9%), and over two-thirds of
respondents agreed/strongly agreed that their pharmacies were sufficiently
prepared with protective equipment for their personnel. Implementation of
preventative measures was associated with respondents' perception that
pharmacists and the pharmacy profession were valued more by patients during the
pandemic and to a lesser degree, by other health professionals. Most commonly
stated pros dealt with employee and patient safety, while key cons dealt with
increased costs and running out of the necessary protective equipment. Key
barriers to pharmacy activities were price increases by wholesalers, and
patients' panic and excessive buying, whereas drivers dealt with professional
obligation to assist and opportunity to prove inseparable to other health
professionals. The most popular means of accessing COVID-19 related information
by pharmacists was via mobile devices and information from professional
organizations was considered most useful by pharmacists. Conclusions Community
pharmacies actively implemented various measures as precautions to mitigate the
spread of COVID-19. Our findings highlight the value of continuous provision of
information by professional organizations and use of mobile devices as key means
to access information by pharmacists.
