e CPs recommended the SPs to consult their physician prior to taking the medications. CPs were generally able to identify DTRPs and mitigate DTRPs by recommending physician consultation. Nevertheless, there were no professional collaborations between the SPs and physicians. The dispensing and counseling standards were not appreciable.

This study aimed to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among the general public in Hunan Province, China, which could help develop psychological interventions and mental health programs. This online cross-sectional study recruited 571 participants through snowball sampling between February 2 and February 5, 2020. Data were collected through a general information questionnaire, the Public Emergency Psychological State Questionnaire, the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire, and the Public Disease Awareness on COVID-19 Scale. The total mean score of the public emergency psychological state of the sample was 0.27 (0.31) points, with only 5.78% of participants (n = 33) developing psychological distress. Avoidant coping style and disease awareness were weakly positively correlated (r = 0.257, p < 0.01) and weakly negatively correlated (r = -0.124, p <0.01) with psychological responses, respectively. There were significant psychological differences among the following variables oc. Our findings could provide important insight for the development of psychological support strategies in China, as well as in other places affected by the epidemic.Poor medication adherence leads to worsening of clinical outcomes and increases healthcare costs, especially in the context of chronic conditions. The effects of new COVID-19 infection and the measures taken in response to the outbreak are further increasing the concerns about medication adherence. Patients with chronic diseases, many of whom are older adults, have been strongly recommended to stay at home and avoid social contacts even with family members, who often provide support for regular use of therapies. Moreover, the mobilization of health personnel to the frontline of the COVID-19 infection could limit access to healthcare services. Within the Health-DB project, the Fail-To-Refill monitoring system was designed to evaluate the lack of adherence to chronic therapies in Italian clinical practice settings. Considering the date and dose coverage of last prescription, all patients due to refill this prescription for a chronic therapy in the last month were identified, and it was verified if they had the refill. The proposed future analysis, based on the data linkage between the current administrative flows of the Italian Local Health Units involved, will be carried out on a monthly basis from the beginning of the infection, and the "post-Covid-19" results will be compared with "pre-COVID-19" results, calculated for the last three years for patients with chronic therapies. Preliminary data herein presented showed a trend of increased failed refill during the months of lockdown for lipid-lowering and biologic therapies. The pre-COVID-19 trend compared to that of post-COVID-19 in the next months will be useful to estimate the percentage of failure to refill truly related to COVID-19 and on the measures adopted. selleckchem The identification of patients that do not refill their prescriptions allows healthcare professionals to put in place actions aimed to promptly correct the lack of adherence, thus reducing the associated negative outcomes.The spread of COVID-19 has become a significant threat to economic activity throughout the world, and it has made life particularly difficult for research institutions.
