Abstract

Introduction: The Granada Statements were developed to improve the quality and visibility of pharmacy practice research by encouraging consistency in reporting. However, little is known about how these guidelines are interpreted in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where professional roles and services may differ. Examining these perspectives can highlight both barriers and opportunities for wider uptake.

Aim: This study explored how clinical and social pharmacy researchers perceive the Granada Statements, focusing on the challenges, enablers, and strategies that could enhance their application in resource-limited contexts.

Method: A qualitative design was adopted, using focus group discussions with researchers in Türkiye. Data were thematically analyzed through collaborative coding and interpretation. Special attention was given to the Statements' key areas, including terminology, journal selection, perceptions of relevance, and proposed improvements.

Results: Participants regarded the Statements as a useful framework for clarifying expectations, promoting consistency, and stimulating dialogue about research quality. Barriers included difficulties applying standardized terminology in evolving service contexts, challenges in translating technical terms, undervaluation of LMIC research, financial constraints in open access publishing, and discouraging peer review experiences. Suggested enablers included templates, illustrative examples, modular adoption, culturally sensitive glossaries, and training with editors. A global classification framework for benchmarking pharmacy practice was also proposed.

Conclusion: This study shows that the Granada Statements have the potential to act not only as reporting guidance but also as a framework for more intentional, theory-driven, and globally relevant pharmacy practice research. Flexibility, contextual sensitivity, and institutional support are key to achieving this vision.

从全球标准到当地现实:理解格拉纳达声明在药学实践研究。
格拉纳达声明的制定是为了通过鼓励报告的一致性来提高药学实践研究的质量和可见性。然而,对于低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)如何解释这些指南,人们知之甚少,这些国家的专业角色和服务可能有所不同。检查这些观点可以突出更广泛采用的障碍和机会。目的:本研究探讨临床和社会药学研究人员如何看待格拉纳达声明,重点关注在资源有限的情况下可以加强其应用的挑战、推动因素和策略。方法:采用定性设计,与 rkiye研究人员进行焦点小组讨论。通过协作编码和解释对数据进行主题分析。特别注意了《声明》的关键领域,包括术语、期刊选择、对相关性的认识和建议的改进。结果:与会者认为《声明》是澄清期望、促进一致性和促进关于研究质量的对话的有用框架。障碍包括在不断发展的服务环境中应用标准化术语的困难、翻译技术术语的挑战、对低收入和中等收入国家研究的低估、开放获取出版的财政限制以及不鼓励同行评议经验。建议的支持因素包括模板、说明性示例、模块化采用、具有文化敏感性的词汇表和编辑培训。同时,提出了一个全球性的药学实践基准分类框架。结论:本研究表明,格拉纳达声明不仅可以作为报告指南,还可以作为更有针对性的、理论驱动的、全球相关的药学实践研究的框架。灵活性、环境敏感性和机构支持是实现这一愿景的关键。
