The aim. Research on the peculiarities of the use of modern motivational tools by domestic employers in the pharmaceutical industry (including training and involvement of pharmaceutical specialists in social projects).

Materials and methods. An anonymous online survey in the Google Form was conducted from April 3, 2021 to November 1, 2021 on the social network "Facebook" (including in four pharmaceutical groups of this network). Methods: analysis, synthesis, and generalization.

Results of the research. The main motivating factors of respondents and the main motivational tools used by employers in the pharmaceutical industry have been identified. The state of training and education during professional activities and the evaluation of their effectiveness by respondents have been studied. Professional and motivational-psychological trainings are in the lead in the ranking of educational projects (75.2 % of respondents). The methods of evaluation of pharmaceutical specialists used by employers in the pharmaceutical industry have been generalized. The attitude of respondents to the participation of employers in the pharmaceutical industry in social and charitable projects has been studied. Most respondents (67.5 %) positively perceives the participation of employers in social and charitable projects, for some of them this is a motivational advantage when choosing a place of work.

Conclusions. An online survey of 508 pharmaceutical professionals, conducted in a Google Form has allowed us to establish the features of current motivational approaches used today in pharmaceutical organizations and the attitude of respondents to them. It has been found that such motivational tools as trainings (innovative form of education) (55.1 %), as well as material forms of incentives (73.2 %) are widely used. At the same time, the main topics of the trainings are regarding the professional aspects of activity. An important factor in the life of a pharmaceutical organization is its social and charitable work, which forms a positive attitude towards it on the part of pharmaceutical professionals, and sometimes serves as a motivational advantage in choosing a place of work

The aim. Study of the attitude of parents with medical and pharmaceutical and other educations to vaccination of their children from the point of view of social pharmacy.

Materials and methods. An anonymous online survey of 1,566 respondents (of whom 302 are parents with medical and pharmaceutical education) on the Google Form online service in the Viber mobile application and on the Facebook social network, which was conducted from September 16, 2021 to October 6, 2021.

Methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization were used.

Results. A high degree of commitment to vaccination among the respondents was established (almost 9 out of 10 parents). 26.1 % of respondents motivate the refusal by the inadequate quality of vaccines, 25.7 % consider vaccination to be inappropriate; 24.3 % do not administer preventive vaccinations to children due to their unsatisfactory state of health; 20.4 % - due to possible side reactions. 67.1 % of parents are interested in the composition of vaccines, 95.6 % know the symptoms and complications of the diseases for which vaccination is carried out, and 96.6 % - side effects after vaccination, although 74.5 % want to receive more information about possible complications. At the same time, there are slightly fewer supporters of vaccination among respondents with medical and pharmaceutical education than among respondents without such education, although this difference is not statistically significant. However, depending on the education, significant differences (more than 10 %) were observed among the respondents regarding interest in the composition of vaccines, adherence to vaccination against COVID-19 of their children older than 12 years and the opening of vaccination points in pharmacies.

Conclusions. It was found that to increase the level of awareness of medical and pharmaceutical professionals regarding vaccination, it is necessary to optimize educational professional programs and curricula for their training. It is shown that increasing the level of their knowledge will increase the commitment of parents with other education to children's vaccinations. The need to expand the professional role of pharmacists by involving them in vaccinations has been confirmed

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected the entire world and contributed to severe health and economic consequences. A safe and effective vaccine is a tool allowing the pandemic to be controlled. Hence, we aimed to conduct a survey on vaccinations against seasonal influenza and COVID-19 in Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. We also evaluated societal attitudes towards influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations. Materials and methods: We conducted the study between December 2020 and May 2021. At the time, the countries subject to the research were between the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. We used an anonymous and self-designed questionnaire comprised of eleven closed-ended questions and a short socio-demographic section. The questionnaire was administered by direct contact or mainly (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) by e-mail or Facebook. Finally, we included 2753 answers from Poland, 1852 from Ukraine, and 213 from Lithuania. Results: Between 61% (Poland) and 72.9% (Ukraine) of the study participants have never been vaccinated against influenza (p < 0.05). Totals of 67.6% of the respondents in Poland, 73.71% in Lithuania, and 29.5% in Ukraine responded that they want to be vaccinated against COVID-19 (p < 0.05). Vaccine hesitancy was mainly related to worries about its side effects. There were also vaccine non-adopters in the study. In Ukraine, 67% of the respondents were clearly opposed to mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, compared to 41.7% in Poland and 30.99% in Lithuania (p < 0.05). Conclusions: There are still many people who present vaccine hesitancy or are opposed to vaccines. Thus, societal education about vaccination and the pandemic is crucial. Vaccine hesitancy or refusal might be related to vaccine origin. Shortages of influenza vaccines made it impossible to vaccinate those who were determined to be vaccinated. There is room for discussion of mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations.

Introduction: The treatment of most diseases in dentistry is related to the local application of antiseptic drugs that allow regulating the microbiocenosis in the oral cavity. The study of pharmacodynamic and kinetic parameters of the release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from the dosage form (DF) is an important task. In this study, we tried to evaluate the release of API from developed dental medicinal films (DMF) produced on a polymeric basis.
Methods: To confirm the antimicrobial activity of the three developed DMF with amizon, decamethoxine and chlorhexidine digluconate, a statistical analysis and mathematical processing of the research results were carried out.
Results: Statistical processing made it possible to organize the results of our earlier studies, in which the concentrations of three API (amizon, decamethoxine and chlorhexidine digluconate) were determined during their diffusion from the polymer base of the DMF to the aqueous dispersion medium (0.9% sodium chloride solution). Due to performed statistical calculations, regarding the reliability of API release, it was determined that the time duration of complete release of the three active substances from the polymer base were different, which will ultimately affect the duration of the pharmacological effect of the API in the patient's body.
Conclusion: In the manufacture of DMF on a polymeric base of hydrophilic type, it is necessary to take into account the release time of each API, according to the composition of the polymeric coatings.


As members of a public trust profession, pharmacists are the most accessible medical team members. Therefore, every pharmacist must know the scope of their professional roles (PR) and professional functions (PF). The study aimed to detail the major PR into a pooled set of PF. The research materials were the provisions of the World Health Organization, the International Pharmaceutical Federation, and scientific works on the PR of pharmacists. Methods of critical analysis, concretization, functional decomposition, and scientific generalization were used. As a result of detailing the 10 main PR according to the “ten-star pharmacist” concept for each, a combined set of partial PFs of the pharmacist was obtained. The decomposition takes into account the principle of complexity limitation, which allowed three to six partial PF for the respective PR to be obtained, namely: three PFs for a life-long-learner, five PFs for a caregiver, a decision-maker, a teacher, a leader, a researcher, an entrepreneur, and an agent of positive change, six PFs for a communicator and a manager. Thus, due to the decomposition of each of the 10 main PR of the pharmacist into three or six corresponding partial PFs, we received a multifunctional verbal model of difficult to organize, professional activities, which is identified by a total of 50 PFs. The importance of using this model in formulating professional competencies and learning outcomes of educational programs for pharmacists is emphasized.
