To evaluate perception, extent of involvement and barriers to pharmacy practice-based research among community and hospital pharmacists in Ibadan, Oyo state, southwestern Nigeria.
A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out among 65 hospital and 86 community pharmacists with at least five-year post-qualification experience, using pre-tested questionnaire. Socio-demographic information, extent of involvement, relevance and scope, as well as barriers to pharmacy practice-based research were explored. Data were summarised using descriptive statistics. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used for evaluating ranked variables at p<0.05.
Nearly all participants (>95.0%) in each practice category agreed that pharmacy practice-based research is essential to pharmacy profession. Greater than 90.0% agreed that pharmacy practice-based research may help in identifying gaps to improve practice. Thirty-five (40.7%) community and 36(55.4%) hospital pharmacist participants had previously involved in practice-based research. Seventy-seven (89.5%) community and 55(84.3%) hospital pharmacists agreed that acquisition of additional research-oriented training is essential for effective conduct of pharmacy practice-based research. More than one-half in each category agreed that inadequate financial commitment and lack of access to patient's data are major barriers to pharmacy practice-based research.
Community and hospital pharmacists agreed that pharmacy practice based research is essential to pharmacy profession, especially in identifying areas of focus to improve practice. Necessity for acquiring additional training in research, financial constraints and lack of access to patient's data were identified as barriers to pharmacy practice-based research. Thus, there is a need to continually stimulate pharmacists' interest in research so as to enhance professional competence and promote healthcare development.
评估尼日利亚西南部奥约州伊巴丹市社区和医院药剂师对基于药学实践的研究的认知、参与程度及障碍。
采用预先测试的问卷，对65名医院药剂师和86名社区药剂师开展前瞻性横断面研究，这些药剂师均具有至少五年的资格后工作经验。探讨社会人口统计学信息、参与程度、相关性和范围以及基于药学实践的研究的障碍。使用描述性统计对数据进行汇总。采用Kruskal-Wallis和Mann-Whitney-U检验评估p<0.05的排序变量。
几乎每个实践类别的所有参与者（>95.0%）都认为基于药学实践的研究对药学专业至关重要。超过90.0%的人认为基于药学实践的研究可能有助于发现改进实践的差距。35名（40.7%）社区药剂师参与者和36名（55.4%）医院药剂师参与者此前参与过基于实践的研究。77名（89.5%）社区药剂师和55名（84.3%）医院药剂师一致认为，获得额外的研究导向培训对于有效开展基于药学实践的研究至关重要。每个类别中超过一半的人认为资金投入不足和无法获取患者数据是基于药学实践的研究的主要障碍。
社区和医院药剂师一致认为基于药学实践的研究对药学专业至关重要，尤其是在确定改进实践的重点领域方面。获得额外研究培训的必要性、资金限制和无法获取患者数据被确定为基于药学实践的研究的障碍。因此，有必要持续激发药剂师对研究的兴趣，以提高专业能力并促进医疗保健发展。
