Current status of pharmacists in community pharmacies in China in the health management of chronic respiratory diseases
Community pharmacists display significant knowledge gaps in managing CRDs, particularly COPD and asthma. Developed regions, higher education, certification, and frequent CRDs management correlate with better scores. These findings highlight the need for ongoing education and improved working conditions to strengthen pharmacists' roles in CRDs management, aligning with the Healthy China initiative.
