Preparedness and barriers to pharmaceutical care among final-year pharmacy students and recent graduates: a cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia
Pharmacy students apperceived themselves as moderately prepared for providing PC, with gaps in administrative and research domains. Additionally, overcoming commonly perceived barriers, such as lack of private counseling spaces and time constraints, may further support students in delivering effective PC. To address the moderate confidence in administrative and research skills, pharmacy curricula should integrate targeted, hands-on training through case-based learning, simulations, and research projects.
