National policy dictates that research delivery is embedded into daily practice of United Kingdom (UK) healthcare professionals, including pharmacists. There is a limited understanding of critical care pharmacist research activities, experiences and interests. It is, therefore, important to describe current practice including barriers and facilitators to enable increased engagement. Objectives To describe UK critical care pharmacist research activity, experiences, interests and barriers to better engagement. Method An electronic survey was developed, piloted and distributed (June to October 2021) to all critical care pharmacists via UK professional organisations. Key findings The survey was completed by 126 pharmacists, providing a 54% response rate. Few pharmacists reported research capability (postgraduate qualification with a research component, 31% (39/126)) and opportunity (dedicated research time, 28.6% (36/126)), only 12.7% (16/126) have both these influencers. Those that did, produced significantly more research outputs (median 4 (0,9) versus 0 (0,1), P = 0.023) and undertook grant funding applications (X 2 (1, n = 126) = 25.8, P < 0.001), compared to those without. The most frequently reported barrier to research was the time (opportunity), (71.4%, 90/126). Few pharmacists reported having a research mentor (13.3%, 16/120). Most pharmacists reported an interest in collaborating on research projects across a broad range of areas. Conclusions Critical care pharmacists are motivated to participate in the evaluation continuum including research, although most report capability and opportunity barriers to delivery. We suggest policy recommendations to address limitations and increase pharmacist research involvement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
