Satisfaction With Pharmacy Services Among Older Adults in New Zealand
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 October 2015
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to: (a) ascertain levels of satisfaction with pharmacy services, and (b) identify possible barriers to pharmacy services utilisation among older adults in New Zealand. Method: Data was collected using a mailed questionnaire. Participants were older adults randomly selected from the general electoral roll (N = 180). Results: While satisfaction with pharmacy services was found to be generally high among older adults, considerable dissatisfaction was evident in relation to the cost of medication. Conclusions: While dissatisfaction was expressed with the cost of prescriptions, at present this does not appear linked to a failure to uplift medication. Physical access to pharmacy services may be compromised by disabling health problems, particularly among those living alone.
