L’objectif

To explore consumer and pharmacist experiences of OAT services, identifying the social and structural elements that enhance or impair treatment and professional satisfaction and analyzing how these are influenced by trust.

Constatations/points à retenir

Burdensome fees, pharmacy service problems, and system opportunities were generated as themes of subjection, and socially inclusive care and person-centered approaches as themes of connection. OAT consumers felt more inclusion when pharmacy practices did not differentiate or demean them and when pharmacists communicated in a personable and caring manner, and pharmacists recognized these aspects as contributing to greater professional fulfillment and less service problems.
