ABSTRACT
La farmacia y las ciencias farmacéuticas abarcan una serie de disciplinas diferentes. La farmacia práctica se ha definido como «la disciplina científica que estudia los diferentes aspectos de la práctica de la farmacia y su impacto en los sistemas sanitarios, el uso de los medicamentos y la atención al paciente». Así pues, los estudios sobre la farmacia práctica abarcan tanto elementos de farmacia clínica como de farmacia social. Como cualquier otra disciplina científica, la farmacia práctica clínica y social difunde los resultados de la investigación mediante revistas científicas. Los editores de revistas de farmacia clínica y farmacia social tienen un papel en la promoción de la disciplina mediante la mejora de la calidad de los artículos publicados. Al igual que ha ocurrido en otras áreas sanitarias (medicina y enfermería), un grupo de editores de revistas de farmacia práctica clínica y social se reunió en Granada, España, para debatir cómo las revistas podrían contribuir a fortalecer la farmacia práctica como disciplina. El resultado de esa reunión se recogió en esta Declaración de Granada, que comprende 18 recomendaciones agrupadas en 6 temas: el uso adecuado de la terminología, los resúmenes con impacto, las revisiones por pares requeridas, la dispersión de revistas, un uso más eficaz y prudente de los indicadores bibliométricos de revistas y artículos y la selección por parte de los autores de la revista de farmacia práctica más adecuada para presentar sus trabajos. © 2023 Los Autores.

Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care. Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published. As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work. © 2023 The Author(s) Published by Elsevier Inc, Springer Nature, Brazilian Society of Hospital Pharmacy and Health Services, Elsevier Inc, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Biomedcentral, Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria (S.E.F.H), Pharmaceutical Care España Foundation, European Association of Hospital Pharmacists, Faculty of Pharmacy.

Se presenta desde una perspectiva teórica, el estado del arte de la metodología de investigación cualitativa en el campo de las Ciencias Farmacéuticas, haciendo especial énfasis en el área de la Atención Farmacéutica. Se exponen los presupuestos teóricos e investigaciones cualitativas más importantes realizadas en el ámbito de las ciencias de la salud y en el sector asistencial farmacéutico internacional. A partir de la información expuesta, se considera que a pesar de que, la utilización de los métodos de investigación cualitativa se ha desarrollado considerablemente en el ámbito sanitario, su aplicación en el campo de la Farmacia Asistencial y de la Atención Farmacéutica, aún es insuficiente, lo que trasciende a Latinoamérica, donde el ejercicio de esta nueva filosofía de práctica profesional no constituye actualmente una actividad globalmente establecida. La evaluación desde una perspectiva social del status de la profesión farmacéutica, a partir de la percepción de pacientes, farmacéuticos y otros profesionales sanitarios, así como la profundización desde el punto de vista cualitativo, de las principales barreras que limitan la generalización de la Atención Farmacéutica, pudieran contribuir fuertemente al mejoramiento de la actual actividad farmacéutica clínica, por un uso más racional de los medicamentos y calidad de vida superior en los pacientes.
O estado da arte da metodologia de investigação qualitativa no campo das Ciências Farmacêuticas é apresentado neste artigo, dando ênfase especial à área da Atenção Farmacêutica. Apresentamos os pressupostos teóricos e as investigações qualitativas mais importantes realizadas na área das ciências da saúde e no setor farmacêutico internacional. A partir da informação exposta, observamos que apesar do uso considerável dos métodos de investigação qualitativa no ambiente sanitário, sua aplicação no campo da Farmácia Assistencial e da Atenção Farmacêutica é ainda insuficiente, o que parece transcender para a América Latina, na qual o exercício desta nova filosofia de prática profissional ainda não se apresenta como atividade amplamente estabelecida. A avaliação do estado da profissão farmacêutica sob perspectiva social, a partir da percepção de pacientes, farmacêuticos e outros profissionais sanitários, assim como compreensão mais aprofundada dos principais desafios para a implementação da Atenção Farmacêutica, do ponto de vista qualitativo, podem contribuir fortemente para o avanço das atividades farmacêuticas clínicas, e, conseqüentemente, para o uso mais racional dos medicamentos para qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
