RESUMO
Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as "the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care". Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published. As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors' selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work. © 2023 The Author(s) Published by Elsevier Inc, Springer Nature, Brazilian Society of Hospital Pharmacy and Health Services, Elsevier Inc, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Biomedcentral, Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria (S.E.F.H), Pharmaceutical Care España Foundation, European Association of Hospital Pharmacists, Faculty of Pharmacy.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The study of medication use should include pharmacological, family, and social dimensions to explain how the lived experiences, beliefs, and perceptions of everyone, and their social and cultural environment affects consumption, using for this purpose the qualitative approach. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of the theoretical-methodological approaches to phenomenology to identify studies that allow an understanding of patients' experiences with the use of medications.a. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to identify studies that address phenomenological research on patients' experiences of medications used and to apply them in subsequent studies. A thematic analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti software to facilitate data management. RESULTS: Twenty-six articles were identified, most of them including adult patients diagnosed with chronic degenerative diseases. The semantic network obtained places Phenomenology at the center as the interpretative referential framework, with three theoretical approaches: descriptive, interpretative, and perceptual under the philosophies of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty respectively; two techniques to collect data which are in-depth interview and focus groups; and to explore the life experiences of patients and understand the meaning in the context of their lives, thematic analysis, content analysis, and interpretative phenomenological analysis were identified. CONCLUSIONS: It was evidenced that Qualitative Research approaches, methodologies, and techniques are applicable to describe people's experiences towards the use of medications. Phenomenology constitutes a useful referential framework in qualitative research to explain the experiences and perceptions about the disease and the use of medicines.
