“…All forms of diabetes increase the risk of long-term complications. These typically develop after many years (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). The major long-term complications relate to damage to blood vessels [2].…”

“…For this reason, we also consider patients' diabetes knowledge to play an important role in their healthcare behaviour and outcomes. Al-Qazaz et al (2011) found an association between patients' diabetes knowledge and medication adherence, with patients who were more knowledgeable about their disease adhering more closely to their treatment regimen than those with poor knowledge. As expected, better diabetes knowledge and medication adherence both correlated with better glycemic control.…”

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is serious healthcare concern in Saudi Arabia, with the disease's prevalence in the country being one of the highest worldwide. This study examines various factors which affect outcomes of patients with DM; namely, medication adherence, diabetes knowledge, self-management behaviours, and glycemic control.Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey-based study. Participants were patients with a DM diagnosis at King Saud Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Results: Positive associations were found between medication adherence and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviours (glucose management and healthcare use) and diabetes knowledge; self-management behaviours (dietary control) and fasting blood glucose levels; and age and blood glucose levels (both fasting and HgA1c). No associations were found between diabetes knowledge and glycemic control; or between self-management behaviours and HgA1c levels. Conclusion:Having good knowledge of diabetes is associated with medication adherence and healthcare self-management. Healthcare practitioners should consider educating DM patients an integral part of the treatment process.

“…In the field of pharmacy practice research, for example, a researcher might be interested in measuring and studying the relationship between diabetes knowledge, medication adherence and gylcemic control among diabetic patients. 10 In this case, knowledge is expressed numerically in terms of scores and the causal associations or relations with medication adherence and glycemic control is then investigated by applying descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Having established that patients' knowledge about diabetes is associated with better medication adherence and better glycemic control, interventions to improve clinical outcome in diabetic patients can then focus at the educational level.…”

Conducting pharmacy practice research is particularly challenging owing to the varied approaches and methods available. While quantitative methodology has been traditionally endorsed as the more scientific method of research, there is a growing recognition for qualitative inquiry in the field of pharmacy practice research in the past few decades. Hence, the scope of this paper is to provide an overview on how to apply mixed methodology in pharmacy practice research and to discuss some of the benefits and challenges in employing mixed method. A review of the recent qualitative research done in developing countries was done. A data base search in PubMed® and an open Google® open search were done to identify the mix methods research done in pharmacy practice. Articles identified were included and their findings were described in the results section. It is seen that combining both qualitative and quantitative methodologies can provide a more complete analysis when exploring complex research questions related to pharmacy practice. Although quantitative and qualitative methods are different, one approach is not superior to the other; both have recognized strengths and weaknesses. Using mix methods create relevant and distinctive modes of enquiry in research and help the unification rather than the division of research patterns. Within this context, the field of pharmacy practice research is huge. Mix methods are meant to enrich research in pharmacy practice.
