Abstract：
This study aimed to explore emergency pharmacy workforce perspectives and experiences in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gathering events (i.e., FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™).
A qualitative methodology was employed using focus groups discussions. Emergency pharmacists across Hamad Medical Corporation were invited to participate using a combination of purposive and snowball sampling. Focus groups were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and validated. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken to generate key themes and subthemes.
Four focus groups were conducted which included 21 participants and generated five major themes. Whilst participants had mixed opinions in relation to their preparedness to practice during the World Cup, they perceived their experience as successful and smooth. The primary perceived facilitators were management support, mobile medical units, and high public health awareness. The main highlighted barriers were related to staff insufficiency, medications availability, and cultural and language challenges. Participants recommended pharmacist\'s role identification in mass gatherings, development of pharmacy action plan, and offering simulation training and pharmacy-specific training.
Despite the perceived barriers, pharmacists reported positive views in relation to their experience in providing pharmaceutical care during mass gatherings. Future research should focus on the development of theory-driven action framework for pharmacy departments to adopt during mass gatherings.

摘要：
■本研究旨在探索在群众聚集活动期间提供药学服务的紧急药房劳动力观点和经验(即，FIFA世界杯卡塔尔2022™）。
■使用焦点小组讨论的定性方法。哈马德医疗公司的紧急药剂师被邀请参加使用目的和雪球采样的组合。焦点小组被录音，逐字转录，并经过验证。进行了归纳主题分析，以产生关键主题和次主题。
■进行了四个焦点小组，其中包括21名参与者，并产生了五个主要主题。虽然参与者对世界杯期间练习的准备有不同的看法，他们认为他们的经历是成功和顺利的。主要感知的促进者是管理支持，移动医疗单位，高公众健康意识。突出的主要障碍与工作人员不足有关，药物可用性，文化和语言挑战。参与者建议药剂师在大规模集会中的角色识别，制定药学行动计划，并提供模拟培训和药学培训。
■尽管存在障碍，药剂师报告了他们在大规模集会期间提供药学服务的经验的积极看法。未来的研究应集中在理论驱动的行动框架的发展，药学部门在大规模集会期间采用。
