Identification of Factors Associated With the Desire to Participate in a Pediatric Pharmacy Practice-Based Research
Objectives:
To evaluate the practice-based research network (PBRN) potential within the Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group (PPAG) membership and to identify characteristics associated with member willingness to join a PPAG PBRN.
Methods:
In October 2016, a 21-question survey was sent by email to approximately 900 PPAG pharmacist members (excluding students) using contact information contained in the PPAG membership database. The survey elucidated information regarding training, clinical and research experience, practice site information, and willingness to participate in a PPAG PBRN. Descriptive statistics described the potential PBRN and multivariate logistic regression determined respondent characteristics associated with willingness to join the PBRN.
Results:
Of 145 survey respondents (a 16% survey response rate), 92 selected "yes" regarding their willingness to participate in the PPAG PBRN. Acute care general pediatrics was the most common area where respondents desired to perform research (44.6% of "yes" respondents), with over 2500 patients/day collectively available. The most common selected limitations to research were time and size of available patient populations (59.8% and 47.8% of "yes" respondents, respectively). Cumulative hours/week members would be willing to devote to the PBRN was approximately 77 to 206. Publication of a retrospective study (OR 10.4, 95% CI 2.1-51.9, p = 0.004), research protected time (OR 4.9, 95% CI 1.4-17.8, p = 0.015), and affiliation with an academic medical center (OR 3.32, 95% CI 1.05-10.45, p = 0.04) were independently associated with willingness (a "yes" response) to join a PPAG PBRN.
Conclusions:
Within the PPAG membership, there is sufficient interest, expertise, patient exposure, and member time to develop a PBRN focused on pediatric pharmacotherapy. The identified characteristics associated with willingness to join the PBRN can help focus efforts for member involvement, education, and recruitment to ensure sustainability of the PPAG PBRN.
