Analyzing the Impact of COVID-19 on the Well-Being of Pharmacists: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the mental, emotional, and physical health of healthcare professionals around the world. Despite research efforts to examine the experiences of physicians, nurses, and other professionals in healthcare, little has been shared about the experiences of pharmacists during the pandemic. A review of current evidence is needed to better understand the mental health experiences of pharmacists during the pandemic. This review aimed to understand the perceptions, experiences, and impacts on the mental, emotional, and psychological well-being of practicing pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic. A review of the literature was carried out by searching several electronic databases, which included Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, DOAJ, JSTOR, PsycINFO, the ERIC Database (via EBSCOhost), and Academic Search Complete for studies published between 2020 and 2022. The search was conducted from September 10, 2022, to November 18, 2022, using Boolean operations and the following terms: Kansas, pharmacist, pharmacy, mental health, psychology, burnout, and well-being. Nine studies exploring the lived experiences of practicing pharmacists worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic were included in this review. The literature surveyed includes three international studies, five national (USA) studies, one study from the Midwestern region of the USA, and one study from Kansas specifically. These studies revealed increased burnout prevalence, mental health distress, feelings of negativity related to the job, and an overall lack of wellness among pharmacists across the world during the pandemic. There is limited research on the perspectives and experiences of practicing pharmacists during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional research is necessary to thoroughly understand pharmacists' experiences and how to further support their well-being.
