Impact of Research Educational Intervention on Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions, and Pharmacy Practices Towards Evidence-based Medicine Among Junior Pharmacists

Objectives:To explore reliability and validity of pharmacy research proposal survey in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: It is a cross-section survey developed by the authors and the researcher team. It's based on the updated literature, national and international accreditation standards organizations. The internal consistency reliability through, inter-rater reliability, item-item coloration, item-total coloration, split half reliability (Gutmann's λ6), McDonald's ω and Cronbach alpha. The validity consisted of face content validity, construct validity through exploratory factorial analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. All analysis had been done through Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS), Statistical Package of Social Sciences-Analysis of Moment Structures (SPSS-Amos) and Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) Results: A total of 209 pharmacists responded. The majority of responders were Saudi 185 (88.52%). The among responders were males 108 (61.77%) and females 101 (48.33%). The three tests had been done of reliability of 17 questions of responders (204). The tests mean±SD was 3.788 ± 0.163, McDonald's ω, Cronbach alpha and Gutmann's λ6 were 0.975, 0.975 and 0.987, respectively and inter-item coloration was 0.705. The item-total coloration >0.7, McDonald's ω, Cronbach alpha and Gutmann's λ6 value if deleted was >0.97. By using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.954 and Bartlett's test of sphericity with approximate chi-square was <0.001. The commonalities extraction for all questions was >0.7, the related components were two with the rotated component matrix >0.7 of all 17 questions in components 1 and 2 as suggested. They were confirmed by confirmatory with statistically significant (p<0.001) of the factor model, by factor analysis, by scree plot, pathway analysis and fit with the original survey. The confirmatory factor index was 0.871, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) was 0.853, Goodness of fit index (GFI) was 0.912, Expected cross validation index (ECVI) was 4.299. The collinearity of 17 questions was auto-correlation was 0.058 with not statically significant (p=0.403). The majority of 17 questions had Enjuone value had close to number 1, while 7 questions only had condition index less than 30. Most of questions had the Variance inflation factor (VIF) less than 10 except 4 questions, while only 4 questions had tolerance less than 0.1. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of a survey about knowledge of pharmacy proposals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were high. The pharmacist in pharmacy research practice can utilize the survey in the future.

Objectives:To declare reliability and validity of EBM Resources Knowledge used for Pharmacy Research Survey in Saudi Arabia. Methods: It is a cross-section survey developed by the authors and the researcher team. It's based on the updated literature, national and international accreditation standards organizations. The internal consistency reliability through, inter-rater reliability, item-item coloration, item-total coloration, split half reliability (Gutmann's λ6) and McDonald's ω, Cronbach alpha. The validity contained of face content validity, construct validity through exploratory factorial analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. All analysis had been done through Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS), Statistical Package of Social Sciences-Analysis of Moment Structures (SPSS-Amos) and Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP). Results: A total of 209 pharmacists responded. The majority of responders were Saudi 185 (88.52%). The responders were males 108 (61.77%) and females 101 (48.33%). The three tests had been done with reliability of 16 questions. The completed number of responders (200) (mean ± SD) was 3.179 ± 0.436, McDonald's ω, Cronbach alpha and Gutmann's λ6 were 0.967, 0.966 and 0.976, respectively, inter-item coloration was 0.719, the item-total coloration >0.7, McDonald's ω, Cronbach alpha and Gutmann's λ6 value if deleted was >0.97. By using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of sampling adequacy was 0.941 and Bartlett's test of sphericity with approximate chi-square was <0.001. The commonalities extraction for all questions were >0.58, the related components were one of the rotated component matrix >0.59 of all 16 questions in component 1 as suggested. They were established by confirmatory with statistically significant (p<0.001) of the factor model, by factor analysis, by scree plot, pathway analysis and fit with the original survey. The confirmatory factor index was 0.862, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) was 0.841, Goodness of fit index (GFI) was 0.906 and Expected cross validation index (ECVI) was 3.270. The collinearity of 16 questions was the auto-correlation was 0.066 with not statically significant (p=0.317). The majority of 16 questions had Enjuone value close to number 1, while 3 questions only had condition index more than 30. All of the 16 questions had The Variance inflation factor (VIF) less than 10 and had tolerance more than 0.1. Conclusion: The pharmacist survey knowledge of evidence-based medicine resources for pharmacy practice and distributed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had high reliability and validity scale level. The pharmacy researcher can utilized surveys with an adequate number of sample sizes with further research in Saudi Arabia.

“…Several publications had done for pharmacy surgery's or questioners and seldom finding locally, or Gulf and Middle East countries deliberated the validity, while brief was more common. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The aim of the current project is to declare the validity project in the pharmacy practice as a new initiatives project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.…”

Objectives: To declare the validity tools used in the pharmacy practice project or research in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: It is a new initiative project of the validity of pharmacy projects and research. The projects drove the international validity guidelines, the global business model and pharmacy project guidelines project management institution guidelines of a new project. The initial project is written through project management professionals and contained of several parts, including the initial phase, the planning phase, the execution phase, the monitoring and controlling phase. Results: The validity of the pharmacy projects and research services that defined vision, mission and goals. The services had multiple benefits, including clinical and economical on the healthcare system, as described in the review. The continuation of the services assured by risk management elements description. Moreover, the monitoring and controlling of the projects as illustrated. The transition to operation project though the closing project stage shown in the analysis. Conclusion: The validity of pharmacy projects and research is a new initiative project in pharmacy quality management and pharmacy research tools. Various methods of validation procedure services can be underway in the pharmacy practice to validate the appropriate and collection of the pharmacy data and it is highly suggested in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
