Introduction:
Severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) can significantly impact a person's social, personal and professional life. Previous studies have demonstrated pharmacists' roles in mental healthcare; however, limited studies to date have focused on pharmacists' roles in providing healthcare services, specifically, to people living with SPMI. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the pharmacists' roles in providing support to people living with SPMI.
Methods And Analysis:
A systematic search will be conducted in Medline, Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses to identify potentially relevant primary research for inclusion. This will be guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols checklist for systematic reviews. All primary research publications regardless of study design exploring or reporting on pharmacists' involvement in supporting people living with SPMI will be considered for inclusion. A tabular summary will be completed using data extracted from each included publication. Data synthesis and quality assessment methods will be chosen based on included study designs.
Ethics And Dissemination:
The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and used to inform the development of a pharmacist-specific training package to support people living with SPMI.
