Le résumé fourni par la source

This study aimed to analyze the psychological influence on the pharmacists who were involved in the preparation of a vaccine for the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) through a questionnaire survey, and to explore the factors that exist in the psychological background. The subjects were pharmacists who were engaged in the preparation of tozinameran at least once at the request of Kawanishi and Takarazuka City in Hyogo and who agreed to participate in the study. The questionnaire was comprised of 32 questions about their efforts to support vaccine preparation. After an exploratory factor analysis, nine factors were extracted, and the study subjects were classified into six clusters. Many of the pharmacists felt that they were able to obtain the understanding and cooperation of their families and coworkers when they participated in the vaccine preparation support work. Furthermore, many felt positively about the compensation, the number of pharmacists assigned, the support system of the office, a new social contribution through this vaccine preparation support work and the resulting sense of self-affirmation, expectations for cooperation among pharmacists and the expansion of their professional capabilities, and the need for further self-improvement. Conversely, approximately 30％ of the pharmacists felt a sense of burden and anxiety about being involved in vaccine preparation support, suggesting that mental health issues among these pharmacists will constitute an issue in the future.
