While prior research identified barriers to conducting research in community pharmacies, there remains a need to better understand facilitators to ensure successful collaborations between academic researchers and pharmacists. Our objective was to determine the experiences and perspectives of community pharmacists who have recently conducted a pharmacy practice-based research study to gain in-depth understanding of challenges as well as facilitators and identify strategies and solutions.
We conducted a qualitative study involving one-on-one semi-structured telephone interviews with community pharmacists following the completion of a practice-based research study in their pharmacies. Interview transcripts were analysed using inductive content analysis involving open coding, creating categories and abstraction into final themes.
Eleven pharmacists participated in the qualitative interviews. We identified six major themes including: (1) barriers (e.g. time constraints); (2) facilitators (e.g. ideal pharmacy layout); (3) support and resources from academic researchers (e.g. helpfulness of training, easy-to-use study materials); (4) pharmacist-initiated strategies for conducting research (beyond prior suggestions from researchers); (5) suggestions for future pharmacy practice research; and (6) motivation for conducting pharmacy practice research. These findings informed practical strategies targeted at academic researchers and pharmacists, respectively, to facilitate the conduct of research in community pharmacists across various stages of the research process.
Our study adds to better understanding of community pharmacists' perspectives on conducting research and identifies practical solutions that can be readily implemented by academic researchers and pharmacists participating in research.
虽然先前的研究确定了在社区药房开展研究的障碍，但仍需要更好地了解促进因素，以确保学术研究人员与药剂师之间的成功合作。我们的目标是确定最近开展了基于药房实践的研究的社区药剂师的经验和观点，以深入了解挑战以及促进因素，并确定策略和解决方案。
我们开展了一项定性研究，在社区药剂师完成其药房基于实践的研究后，对他们进行一对一的半结构化电话访谈。访谈记录采用归纳性内容分析法进行分析，包括开放编码、创建类别并提炼出最终主题。
11名药剂师参与了定性访谈。我们确定了六个主要主题，包括：（1）障碍（如时间限制）；（2）促进因素（如理想的药房布局）；（3）学术研究人员提供的支持和资源（如培训的帮助性、易于使用的研究材料）；（4）药剂师发起的开展研究的策略（超出研究人员先前的建议）；（5）对未来药房实践研究的建议；（6）开展药房实践研究的动机。这些发现为分别针对学术研究人员和药剂师的实用策略提供了依据，以促进在研究过程的各个阶段在社区药剂师中开展研究。
我们的研究有助于更好地理解社区药剂师对开展研究的看法，并确定参与研究的学术研究人员和药剂师可以 readily 实施的实用解决方案。 （注：“readily”在这里可能有误，根据语境推测可能是“readily”，直译为“轻易地”，这里可意译为“轻松地” ）
