Investigation on the Pharmacists' Sense of Research Gain in Grade-A Tertiary Hospitals in Guangdong and Analysis of Its Influencing Factors
Objective To know the pharmacists' current sense of research gain in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong,and to analyze its main influencing factors.Methods A cross-sectional study was adopted.Questionnaires were distributed to pharmacists in 10 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong by the QuestionStar-WeChat mini program from March to May 2023 to investigate their current sense of research gain.The univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore its influencing factors,and a structural equation model was established for path analysis and mediation effect analysis.Results A total of 521 questionnaires were recovered,and 500 were effective,with an effective recovery rate of 95.97% .The average scoring rates of the sense of research gain scale,perceived organizational support scale,work pressure scale and work passion scale(dimensions)were all around 60%,and only the scoring rate of perceived organizational support scale was higher than 60% .The correlation analysis showed that the sense of research gain was significantly positively correlated with perceived organizational support and work passion(P<0.01),and work pressure was significantly negatively correlated with perceived organizational support,work passion and sense of research gain(P<0.01).The univariate analysis showed that the professional titles and educational background had a significant effect on the sense of research gain(P<0.05).The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the professional title(β=0.11,P<0.01),educational background(β=0.10,P<0.05),perceived organizational support(β=0.22,P<0.01),work passion(β=0.20,P<0.01),and work pressure(β=-0.18,P<0.01)had a significant effect on pharmacists' sense of research gain.The path analysis showed that perceived organizational support and work passion had a significant positive effect on the sense of research gain(β=0.19,Z=3.30,P<0.001;β=0.21,Z=3.94,P<0.001),and the work pressure had a significant negative effect on the sense of research gain(β=-0.19,Z=-3.86,P<0.001).The mediation effect analysis showed that the perceived organizational support could not only directly affect the sense of research gain,but also indirectly affect it by affecting the work passion and work pressure.Conclusion The main factors affecting the pharmacists' sense of research gain in grade-A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong include perceived organizational support,work passion,work pressure,professional titles and educational background.Increasing the perceived organizational support,work passion,and decreasing the work pressure can increase the pharmacists' sense of research gain.
