Abstract
Objective: This study explores the potential roles of pharmacists in child mental health services from the perspectives of healthcare staff.
Methods: A qualitative investigation was conducted through semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, pediatricians, and mental health counselors. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes and insights related to the integration of pharmacists into child mental health care.
Results: Participants recognized several possible roles for pharmacists, including medication management, patient and caregiver education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Challenges and barriers to these roles were also identified.
Conclusions: Integrating pharmacists into child mental health services could enhance patient care, though it requires overcoming barriers related to training, workflow integration, and interprofessional collaboration.
