Results
Six hundred surveys were mailed to potential respondents, and 466 were returned (77.7% response rate). Twenty-eight respondents completed the survey online. The respondents’ research utilization knowledge, attitudes, and practices were found to be moderate. Research utilization was associated with respondents’ knowledge and attitude scores (
P
< 0.001). When factors related to research utilization were modelled, higher educational level was associated with higher level of research utilization (
P
< 0.001) while less involvement in journal clubs, more years of service (3–7 years and more than 7 years) were associated with low and moderate research utilization, respectively. The main reported barrier to research utilization was lack of sufficient authority to change patient care procedures.
Conclusion
Pharmacists’ research utilization knowledge, attitudes, and practices can be improved by encouraging pharmacists to pursue higher degrees, promoting active participation in institutions’ journal clubs, and introducing senior clinical pharmacist specialization.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2210-7703</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2210-7711</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s11096-017-0425-7</identifier><identifier>PMID: 28108846</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Cham: Springer International Publishing</publisher><subject>Adult ; Biomedical Research ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Drug stores ; Female ; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice ; Humans ; Internal Medicine ; Malaysia ; Male ; Medical research ; Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Pharmacists ; Pharmacists - psychology ; Pharmacy ; Research Article ; Surveys and Questionnaires ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2017-04, Vol.39 (2), p.450-458</ispartof><rights>Springer International Publishing 2017</rights><rights>International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy is a copyright of Springer, 2017.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c372t-d6ec35e830961d2e059b0404191567d002b14f6973c3574fd6813e564aa3edba3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c372t-d6ec35e830961d2e059b0404191567d002b14f6973c3574fd6813e564aa3edba3</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-6300-2965</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11096-017-0425-7$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11096-017-0425-7$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925,41488,42557,51319</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28108846$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Tan, Sin Yee</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hatah, Ernieda</creatorcontrib><title>Knowledge, attitudes, practices, and barriers related to research utilization: a survey among pharmacists in Malaysia</title><title>International journal of clinical pharmacy</title><addtitle>Int J Clin Pharm</addtitle><addtitle>Int J Clin Pharm</addtitle><description>Background
