OBJECTIVE
To assess knowledge and attitudes toward pharmaceutical care service among hospital and community pharmacists working in Harar and Dire Dawa town, Eastern Ethiopia.
METHOD
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among pharmacists working in hospital and community pharmacies, 2018. A total of 43 health settings (6 hospital and 37 community pharmacies) were involved in this study. All pharmacists who met the inclusion criteria were selected using a purposive sampling technique to take part in the study. The pretested structured self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. The collected data was coded, entered, and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. The findings were presented by frequencies and percentages, and summary measures were displayed using tables. Chi-Square test and Fisher's exact test were performed to determine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and the level of knowledge and attitude about pharmaceutical care. The study protocol was approved by the Harar Health Sciences College Research Ethics Review Committee.
RESULTS
A total of seventy-eight pharmacists were included in the study with a response rate of 97.5%. The mean age (±Standard Deviation (SD)) of the study participants was 32.47 ± 7.42 years, and the majority (88.3%) of the respondents were males. 56.4% of the respondents were working in the hospitals while 43.6% were working in community pharmacy. Overall, 85.9% of the respondents had good knowledge of pharmaceutical care. The types of training curriculum of the participants showed an association with the attitude of pharmacists ( value = 0.022). Similarly, pharmacists' knowledge was associated with their practice setting ( value = 0.022). Similarly, pharmacists' knowledge was associated with their practice setting (.
CONCLUSION
The majority of pharmacists are knowledgeable about PC. However, nearly half of the pharmacists had an unfavorable attitude toward pharmaceutical care. Harari Regional and Dire Dawa City Health Bureaus should organize and provide in-service training on pharmaceutical care to pharmacists working in community and hospital pharmacies. Furthermore, the bureaus should advocate pharmaceutical care as one area in a continuous professional development program.
目的
评估在埃塞俄比亚东部哈拉尔和迪雷达瓦镇工作的医院和社区药剂师对药物治疗服务的知识和态度。
方法
2018 年，对在医院和社区药房工作的药剂师进行了描述性横断面研究。共有 43 个卫生机构（6 家医院和 37 家社区药房）参与了这项研究。所有符合纳入标准的药剂师都采用了目的抽样技术，被选中参与这项研究。使用经过预测试的结构化自我管理问卷收集数据。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）版本 21.0 对收集到的数据进行编码、输入和分析。结果以频率和百分比表示，并使用表格显示汇总措施。采用卡方检验和 Fisher 精确检验来确定社会人口特征与药物治疗知识和态度水平之间的关联。该研究方案获得了哈拉尔健康科学学院研究伦理审查委员会的批准。
结果
共有 78 名药剂师参与了这项研究，应答率为 97.5%。研究参与者的平均年龄（±标准差（SD））为 32.47±7.42 岁，大多数（88.3%）受访者为男性。56.4%的受访者在医院工作，43.6%在社区药房工作。总的来说，85.9%的受访者对药物治疗有很好的了解。参与者的培训课程类型与药剂师的态度呈正相关（值=0.022）。同样，药剂师的知识与其执业环境呈正相关（值=0.022）。
结论
大多数药剂师对 PC 有很好的了解。然而，近一半的药剂师对药物治疗的态度不佳。哈拉里地区和迪雷达瓦市卫生局应组织并为在社区和医院药房工作的药剂师提供药物治疗方面的在职培训。此外，卫生局应倡导将药物治疗作为持续专业发展计划的一个领域。
