Développement des soins pharmaceutiques de l’infertilité féminine à l’officine : enquête sur la perception et les attentes des patientes

Abstract

We conducted a study with patients undergoing ART at the Institute of Reproductive Medicine in Marseille, using a questionnaire. The questions concerned the perception of care given at the community pharmacy on various aspects related to medication, on a scale of 1 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied). The last question was an open-ended question about patient's expectations. In all, 105 patients answered the questionnaire. The average age of women was 34.5±4.8-years-old. The scores obtained concerning the perception of support on the themes explored varied between 2.8±2.8 for the lowest score and 4.2±3.4 out of 10 for the highest. In all, 79.6% of the respondents were in favor of the development of specific support in community pharmacies, especially about administration methods, management of adverse effects and management of waste linked to treatment. Women undergoing ART are willing to receive pharmaceutical care in community pharmacies. In order to meet their expectations, it is necessary to develop dedicated training programs.
