摘要

背景:药学专业持续发展(CPD)是一种终身学习的方法,个体药剂师负责更新和拓宽他们的知识、技能和态度。这对于确保提供高质量的患者护理服务至关重要。然而,缺乏可用的数据来揭示埃塞俄比亚药剂师的CPD需求。因此,本研究的目的是确定埃塞俄比亚执业药剂师的CPD培训需求。方法:本研究采用基于机构的定量横断面研究设计。这项评估涉及640名药剂师,他们代表了该行业的各个部门。数据是通过在线平台和面对面问卷相结合的方式收集的。结果:共有634名参与者完成并返回了问卷,回复率高达99.1%。绝大多数(74.1%)参与者拥有药学学士学位(B.Pharm)。36%的参与者优先选择药物物流和药房管理作为之前的CPD课程,其中药物治疗(17%)、领导力/治理(13%)、社区药房(12%)、研发(11%)也是参与者随后的首选。场外面对面授课(59.2%),混合型(面对面授课 + 电子学习)(54.8%)和现场在职培训(45.5%)是CPD课程提供的最方便的方式。另一方面,参与者最不喜欢CPD课程的印刷或函授课程。结论:CPD在药剂师的职业生涯中占有重要地位。药剂师、CPD提供者和负责认证CPD项目的人员必须认识到具体的CPD要求、首选的交付方法和所涉及的障碍。这种理解对于确定优先事项和有效规划CPD活动至关重要。有鉴于此,我们的研究确定了埃塞俄比亚药剂师最喜欢的CPD培训课程和方便的授课方法。我们建议埃塞俄比亚的CPD提供者和认证机构在批准CPD课程时参考我们的调查结果。

National Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training needs of pharmacists in Ethiopia.

Background: Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in pharmacy is a lifelong learning approach whereby individual pharmacists are responsible for updating and broadening their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This is vital to ensure the delivery of high-quality patient care services. However, there is a lack of available data revealing the CPD needs of Ethiopian pharmacists. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify CPD training needs of pharmacists practicing in Ethiopia.

Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design with a quantitative approach was employed in this study. This assessment involved 640 pharmacists representing various sectors of the profession. Data were collected through a combination of an online platform and a face-to-face questionnaire administered in person.

Result: A total of 634 participants completed and returned the questionnaires, resulting in an impressive response rate of 99.1%. A significant majority (74.1%) of the participants possessed bachelor's degree in pharmacy (B. Pharm). Pharmaceutical Logistics and Pharmacy administration was preferentially selected as a prior CPD course by 36% of participants, of them while Pharmacotherapy (17%), Leadership/Governance (13%), Community Pharmacy (12%), Research and Development (11%) were also the subsequent top choices by participants. Off-site face-to-face lectures (59.2%), Hybrid (face-to-face + e-learning) (54.8%), and on-site on-the-job training (45.5%) were the most convenient means of CPD course delivery. On the other hand, the participants least favored print-based or correspondence programs for CPD course delivery.

Conclusions: CPD holds great importance in the professional lives of pharmacists. It is critical for pharmacists, CPD providers, and those responsible for accrediting CPD programs to recognize the specific CPD requirements, preferred methods of delivery, and obstacles involved. This understanding is vital for establishing priorities and effectively planning CPD activities. In light of this, our study identified the most preferred CPD training courses and convenient delivery methods for pharmacists in Ethiopia. We recommend that CPD providers and accrediting bodies in Ethiopia refer to our findings when approving CPD courses.
