Abstract

Background

Even though the effectiveness of community pharmacists in helping customers to reduce weight has been evident, few pharmacists provided weight management services (WMS). To drive community pharmacist WMS provision, factors affecting their intention and WMS provision were important to be investigated.

Objective

The present study aimed to explore relationships among pharmacist authority, perceived customer obstruction, WMS performance support, obstacles, and facilitators with intention to provide WMS and WMS rovision using structural equation modeling (WMS.

Method

Self-administered questionnaires were utilized to collect data from 302 Thai community pharmacists from December 2022 to March 2023. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to explore the influencing factors on pharmacist WMS intention and WMS provision.

Results

Pharmacist authority (r = 0.35), WMS performance support (r = 0.24), and facilitators (r = 0.22) were significantly correlated with community pharmacist WMS provision. Pharmacist authority (r = 0.50), facilitators (r = 0.46), and WMS performance support (r = 0.42) were significantly correlated with community pharmacist intention to provide WMS e structural equation model (SEM), pharmacist authority (β = 0.34) and intention (β = 0.16) significantly influenced WMS provision (R² = 0.20). Authority (β = 0.49) and WMS performance support (β = 0.28) significantly influenced pharmacist intention to WMS (R² = 0.42). The model from empirical data indicated a good fit with the hypothetical model (p-value = 0.000, Comparatively Fit Index = 0.9, and Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.878).

Conclusion

Pharmacist authority had direct effects with both their intention to provide WMS and WMS provision. WMS performance support had a direct effect on intention to provide WMS and an indirect effect on WMS provision. Facilitators also had significant correlations with intention to provide WMS and WMS provision.

社区药剂师体重管理服务的驱动因素：结构方程模型

背景尽管社区药剂师在帮助顾客减轻体重方面的效果有目共睹，但很少有药剂师提供体重管理服务（WMS）。本研究旨在利用结构方程模型（WMS.Method）探讨药剂师权威、感知到的顾客阻碍、WMS 业绩支持、障碍和促进因素与提供 WMS 和 WMS 服务的意向之间的关系，并收集 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 3 月期间 302 名泰国社区药剂师的数据。结果药剂师权威（r = 0.35）、WMS 性能支持（r = 0.24）和促进因素（r = 0.22）与社区药剂师提供 WMS 有显著相关性。药剂师权威（r = 0.50）、促进因素（r = 0.46）和微信公众号绩效支持（r = 0.42）与社区药剂师提供微信公众号的意向呈显著正相关，药剂师权威（β = 0.34）和意向（β = 0.16）对提供微信公众号有显著影响（R2 = 0.20）。权威 (β = 0.49) 和 WMS 性能支持 (β = 0.28) 对药剂师的 WMS 意向有明显影响（R2 = 0.42）。经验数据模型与假设模型的拟合度良好（p 值 = 0.000，比较拟合指数 = 0.9，塔克-刘易斯指数 = 0.878）。WMS 性能支持对提供 WMS 的意愿有直接影响，对提供 WMS 有间接影响。促进因素与提供微信服务的意愿和微信服务的提供也有明显的相关性。
