Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Bioethics
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Ethical dilemmas are common in community pharmacy services.
  • A validated tool is needed to assess the difficulty and frequency of these ethical issues.
  • Existing assessment tools may not adequately capture the nuances of ethical challenges in community pharmacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scale for assessing the difficulty and frequency of ethical issues in community pharmacy practice.
  • To provide a reliable self-assessment tool for pharmacists to evaluate ethical challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Scale development involved three phases: item generation via qualitative analysis, instrument design, and validation.
  • A 16-item scale with two parts (difficulty and frequency) was constructed for community pharmacy settings.
  • Validation included assessing content, criterion, construct validity, and test-retest reliability using data from 171 pharmacists.

Main Results:

  • The validated scale demonstrated high reliability, with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.83 (difficulty) and 0.84 (frequency).
  • Test-retest reliability was satisfactory, with Interclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) of 0.809 for difficulty and 0.929 for frequency.
  • The 16-item scale showed high content, criterion, and construct validity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Ethical Issue scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the difficulty and frequency of ethical issues in community pharmacy.
  • The scale can be utilized as a research tool to better understand and address ethical challenges faced by pharmacists.
  • Further application of the scale on a larger pharmacist sample is recommended.
