Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to explore pharmacists’ barriers and facilitators regarding participation in pharmacy practice research.MethodsWe conducted an online cross‐sectional survey in 1974 community pharmacies in the Netherlands.Key findingsA total of 252 pharmacists completed the questionnaire. The majority agreed that participation in research should be part of daily practice. Efficient time investment and a clear benefit for general professional knowledge, patient care and pharmacy organisation were the most important facilitating factors.ConclusionsTo encourage pharmacists’ participation, researchers should offer clear instructions, possibilities for flexible time management, simple patient inclusion, task delegation and no additional contacts with healthcare professionals due to the research.
