Abstract

Objective: Pharmacist-led research is key to optimizing medicines use and improving pharmacy services, yet it is not yet widely embedded into careers. This study aims to identify predictors of confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula, to provide targeted recommendations for building research capability and capacity within the profession.

Methods: The study was a cross-sectional electronic survey, distributed to eligible pharmacists in March 2023 (n = 253). The survey gathered demographic information, research experience, and self-reported confidence in meeting the research learning outcomes in the RPS Post-Registration Foundation and Core Advanced curricula. Pre-determined independent variables were analysed using two binomial logistic regression models (one per curriculum) to identify predictors of the dichotomous variable: confidence with meeting all research learning outcomes in that curriculum.

Key findings: Participants were more likely to self-report as confident (versus not confident) with meeting all research learning outcomes in a curriculum if they had recent experience (within the previous 12 months) of research or research-related activities, held a postgraduate research qualification, had undertaken research training outside of a postgraduate qualification, discussed research in their appraisal, or worked in the hospital sector. Conversely, male gender, years practicing, and protected time for research did not predict confidence.

Conclusion: A targeted approach, including improving access to research methods training, experience-based learning, mentorship, and linking research projects to key organizational objectives, could be the key to developing research capability and capacity across all sectors and career stages.

研究信心的预测因素:对英格兰北部药剂师的横断面调查。
目的:以药剂师为主导的研究是优化药物使用和改善药学服务的关键,但它尚未广泛融入药剂师的职业生涯。本研究旨在确定达到英国皇家药剂师协会(RPS)注册后基础和核心高级课程中研究学习成果的信心预测因素,从而为药剂师行业的研究能力建设提供有针对性的建议:该研究是一项横断面电子调查,于 2023 年 3 月分发给符合条件的药剂师(n = 253)。该调查收集了人口统计学信息、研究经验以及对达到注册后药剂师基础课程和核心高级课程中研究学习成果的自述信心。我们使用两个二叉逻辑回归模型(每个课程一个)对预先确定的自变量进行了分析,以确定二分变量的预测因素:对达到该课程所有研究性学习成果的信心:如果参与者最近(过去 12 个月内)有研究或研究相关活动的经历、拥有研究生研究资格、接受过研究生资格以外的研究培训、在评估中讨论过研究或在医院部门工作,那么他们更有可能自我报告对达到课程中的所有研究性学习成果有信心(而不是没有信心)。相反,男性性别、从业年限和受保护的研究时间并不能预测信心:一个有针对性的方法,包括改善研究方法培训、基于经验的学习、导师制以及将研究项目与关键组织目标联系起来,可能是在所有部门和职业阶段发展研究能力的关键。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Pharmacy Practice (IJPP) is a Medline-indexed, peer reviewed, international journal. It is one of the leading journals publishing health services research in the context of pharmacy, pharmaceutical care, medicines and medicines management. Regular sections in the journal include, editorials, literature reviews, original research, personal opinion and short communications. Topics covered include: medicines utilisation, medicine management, medicines distribution, supply and administration, pharmaceutical services, professional and patient/lay perspectives, public health (including, e.g. health promotion, needs assessment, health protection) evidence based practice, pharmacy education. Methods include both evaluative and exploratory work including, randomised controlled trials, surveys, epidemiological approaches, case studies, observational studies, and qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups.
