The objective of this study was to analyze the knowledge about the availability of the pharmacist in the nuclear medicine department among health-care professionals through a prospective cohort study.
A total of 741 health-care professionals participated in the study by answering 10 simple questions about the role of the pharmacist in the nuclear medicine department and the availability of pharmacist in the nuclear medicine department. An online questionnaire system was used to conduct the study, and participants were invited to participate through personal communications and by promoting the study through social websites including Facebook, LinkedIn and Google (including Gmail and Google+). The study was conducted between April 2013 and March 2014 using the http://www.freeonlinesurveys.com/Webserver. Finally, the data provided by 621 participants was analyzed. Group frequency analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 (SPSS Inc. USA).
The participants were from Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, UAE and Nepal. In total, 312 (50.2%) female health-care professionals and 309 (49.8%) male health-care professionals participated in the study. Of the 621 participants, 390 were working in hospitals, and 231 were not working in hospitals. Of the participants who were working in hospitals, 57.6% were pharmacists. The proportion of study participants who were aware of nuclear pharmacists was 55.39%. Awareness about the role of the pharmacist in nuclear medicine was poor.
The role of the pharmacist in a nuclear medicine unit needs to be highlighted and promoted among health-care professionals and hence that the nuclear medicine team can provide better pharmaceutical care.
本研究的目的是通过一项前瞻性队列研究，分析医疗保健专业人员对核医学科药剂师可及性的了解情况。
共有741名医疗保健专业人员参与了该研究，他们回答了10个关于核医学科药剂师的作用以及核医学科药剂师可及性的简单问题。使用在线问卷系统进行研究，并通过个人交流以及在包括脸书、领英和谷歌（包括Gmail和谷歌+）等社交网站上宣传该研究来邀请参与者。该研究于2013年4月至2014年3月期间使用http://www.freeonlinesurveys.com/Webserver进行。最后，对621名参与者提供的数据进行了分析。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）16版（美国SPSS公司）进行组频率分析。
参与者来自马来西亚、印度、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡、孟加拉国、阿联酋和尼泊尔。总共有312名（50.2%）女性医疗保健专业人员和309名（49.8%）男性医疗保健专业人员参与了该研究。在621名参与者中，390人在医院工作，231人不在医院工作。在医院工作的参与者中，57.6%是药剂师。知晓核药剂师的研究参与者比例为55.39%。对药剂师在核医学中作用的认知较差。
药剂师在核医学科室中的作用需要在医疗保健专业人员中得到突出和推广，从而使核医学团队能够提供更好的药学服务。
