Abstract

The aim of this systematic review is to deliver a narrative synthesis of primary peer-reviewed published research accounts of alienation and/or anomie in pharmacists. The authors intend to identify all published primary peer-reviewed research accounts describing alienation and/or anomie in pharmacists and produce a descriptive and critical analysis of the studies. They will also explore relationships within and between studies, looking at the focuses, causes, associated factors, and/or consequences of alienation and/or anomie in pharmacists and assess the robustness and confidence of the narrative synthesis. The population they will study is international pharmacists. They will study all types of methodological designs, published in peer-reviewed journals. All primary qualitative, quantitative, and/or mixed method research studies that study (by design), describe (in the results), or discuss (based on the results) aspects of alienation and/or anomie in pharmacists will be studied. Studies that describe alienation and/or anomie in multiple different professional groups will be allowed, as long as pharmacists are included in the cohort. Where studies are unclear whether pharmacists were included, the corresponding author of such studies will be contacted to clarify, before inclusion.
