Community pharmacists' attitudes toward providing care and services to patients with severe and persistent mental illness.
To assess community pharmacists' attitudes toward working with patients who have severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) and to identify perceived barriers to providing care and services to this population. ⋯ Although pharmacists had a positive attitude toward working with this population, multiple barriers were identified that prevented optimal care. Identifying solutions to overcome these barriers could help to improve the overall care and increase the likelihood of success in treating patients with SPMI.
