摘要

Aims and objectives Migraine is an underdiagnosed and undertreated condition. Diagnosed and undiagnosed migraineurs come into frequent contact with pharmacists, who are in a unique position to intervene and potentially improve the therapeutic outcomes of migraineurs; however, little is known about migraineurs' attitudes towards pharmacists' roles and the experiences they have shared with pharmacists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate migraineurs' perceptions of the roles that pharmacists may play in helping them manage their disease. Setting Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.Method The study employed the use of two focus groups of migraineurs from a university population, approached from a phenomenologic perspective. Focus-group sessions were conducted using a flexible interview guide. Focus-group content was digitally recorded, then transcribed, verified for accuracy and content analysed according to established criteria, employing the use of a formal coding procedure. Inductive analysis was performed to establish patterns, themes and categories in the data.Key findings Six principal themes emerged. Among the most important findings were that (1) migraineurs were concerned about managing their headaches and the impact migraine has on their lives and their families' lives, (2) migraineurs did not discuss their headaches or migraine therapy with pharmacists and (3) migraineurs believe that many communication barriers exist in their pharmacist-patient relationship.Conclusion Community pharmacists have an opportunity to impact the level of care provided to migraine sufferers. As such, community pharmacists should strive to remove communication barriers and be more proactive during interactions with these patients. Further study may examine how pharmacists can elicit more social support for migraineurs and to help migraineurs cope with their condition.
