Patients' Perceptions on Community Pharmacy Services of a Ward (10) of Kathmandu Metropolitan.
Community pharmacists' role is shifting from product-oriented function towards patient-centered care. The patient-centered role of pharmacists is undervalued, as the public is unaware of pharmacists' role. This study aims to identify patients' perceptions and satisfaction with pharmaceutical care services and factors affecting their preferences for community pharmacy services. ⋯ Overall, pharmacists were regarded as the most trusted health care personnel to contact. However, to facilitate the expansion of pharmaceutical care services, the public should be aware of their distinctive professional talents. It is recommended for future researchers to understand the subjective perspective of pharmacy staff, managers, and pharmaceutical policy makers.

A Theoretical Qualitative Investigation Exploring Illness Perceptions and Decision-Making About COVID-19 in an Ethnically Diverse UK-Based Sample.
The primary aim of the present investigation was to explore perceptions, experiences, and decision-making relating to the COVID-19 illness as the UK entered into a phase of "living safely with COVID-19". A secondary aim was to explore how perceptions around the COVID-19 vaccine might vary by ethnicity. ⋯ Findings from the present investigation provide key insights for understanding how people's perceptions of COVID-19 during this transition period might impact their decisions and behavior moving forward. Specifically, findings suggest some prevailing concerns around catching the virus, while no strong qualitative evidence for concerns over long COVID were identified in this sample, the responsibility felt by individuals towards taking their own precautionary measures in light of the easing of all national restrictions, and some potential differences in perceptions towards the vaccine between individuals from different ethnic backgrounds.
