| Summary: | Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by a virus included in Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), namely SARS-CoV-2. The number of confirmed cases has continued
to increase and led to the issuance of many appeals and guidelines for public services to protect
themselves and prevent transmission. It is important for community pharmacists as the most
accessible health care providers to improve their knowledge, skills, and behaviors to provide good
pharmaceutical services. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitudes of
community pharmacists to optimize the role of pharmacists in West Java during the COVID-19
pandemic era. This is a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire based on the KAP (Knowledge,
Attitude, and Practice) method on 895 community pharmacists in West Java. Statistical analysis
used was T-test, ANOVA test, and Pearson Correlation using Minitab version 19.1. The results
showed that most community pharmacists have good knowledge about COVID-19 (85.0%) with
27.42 ± 1.86 average value but have a negative attitude towards COVID-19 (50.3%) with 16.73 ±
3.82 average value. A good knowledge with a negative attitude may cause transmission if it is not
accompanied by real efforts of self protection and transmission prevention. A precautionary
attitude still needs to be improved by community pharmacists in West Java in order to optimize
their role as a community pharmacist. Based on the correlation analysis, there is no significant
correlation (P value > 0.05) between knowledge and attitudes of community pharmacists in West
Java towards COVID-19.
