There is little emphasis on pharmacy practice research in Qatar, with a lack of relevant education and training and a notable lack of exposure to processes of research.
To describe views and attitudes of pharmacists in Qatar to pharmacy practice research prior to and following a 2 day introductory research workshop.
All pharmacists (n = 350) were invited to express interest in attending. All participants were required to complete a questionnaire covering views and attitudes relating to research. Workshop sessions were on: research questions; critically appraising literature; developing research methods; collecting and analysing data; and disseminating findings. Participants completed a post-course evaluation questionnaire.
Of the ninety expressing interest, 47 were selected and participated in the first training day, with 40 of these also attending the second day. Participants expressed positive views and attitudes towards research. Most (46/47) strongly agreed/agreed that it was their professional duty to be involved; all strongly agreed/agreed with importance of an evidence base to support practice; but there were issues around time, support and training. The research workshops were positively evaluated by participants.
Findings indicate pharmacists' willingness to participate in research training in Qatar. However, there is a need to ensure that views and attitudes translate into research participation thus enhancing the evidence base.
卡塔尔对药学实践研究的重视程度较低，相关教育和培训不足，对研究过程的了解也明显不足。
在参加为期两天的入门研究工作坊之前和之后，描述卡塔尔药剂师对药学实践研究的看法和态度。
邀请所有药剂师（n=350）表达参加的兴趣。所有参与者都必须完成一份调查问卷，内容涉及与研究相关的观点和态度。工作坊的内容包括：研究问题；批判性评价文献；制定研究方法；收集和分析数据；以及传播研究结果。参与者完成了课后评估问卷。
在表示有兴趣的九十人中，有 47 人被选中并参加了第一天的培训，其中 40 人还参加了第二天的培训。参与者对研究表示出积极的看法和态度。大多数（46/47）强烈同意/同意参与是他们的专业职责；所有人都强烈同意/同意以证据为基础支持实践的重要性；但在时间、支持和培训方面存在一些问题。参与者对研究工作坊给予了积极评价。
研究结果表明，卡塔尔的药剂师愿意参加研究培训。然而，需要确保他们的观点和态度转化为研究参与，从而加强证据基础。
