6 Study Objectives To determine the frequency of community pharmacists' participation in breast cancer health promotion activities in Qatar To describe their attitudes related to serving as breast cancer health promoters Study Objectives To assess their breast cancer knowledge and their interest in receiving breast cancer continuous education To illustrate their perceived barriers for including breast cancer promotion into their daily practice Study Methods The study objectives were addressed in a crosssectional survey of community pharmacists in Qatar A multipart pretested survey was used to solicit community pharmacists anonymous responses Study Methods The survey contained questions that addressed the study objectives and collected data on the participants' sociodemographic and practice characteristics Eligible participants were all pharmacists practicing in community pharmacies in Qatar MH 6

7 Study Methods An initial phone call explaining the objectives of the study and requesting participation p were made to all community pharmacists Consenting pharmacists were given the option to complete the survey either online using userfriendly survey software or as paper-based in Arabic or in English Study Methods Electronic mails ( s) containing the survey URL were sent to the participants p who wanted to complete the survey online The paper-based survey was faxed to the other participants After anonymously completing the faxed survey, the participants were asked to fax the survey back to QU College of Pharmacy Study Methods Survey reminders were sent to all community pharmacists via /fax or telephone thanking those who have already responded and asking those who have not responded to complete the survey After 3 months of data collection, survey was closed, data was entered into the online survey software then downloaded d d to an Excel spreadsheet then imported into SPSS version 17 for analysis Over a 12-week period, we collected 195 surveys (approximately 60% of the population of community pharmacists in Qatar) 65% of respondents were male and 80% were less than 40 years old MH 7

8 % of respondents % reported graduating at least 5 years prior to the survey 95% held a pharmacy baccalaureate degree as their highest degree 0 Egypt India Philippines Jordan Other Middle Eastern countries Country of origin Sudan Other South Asian countries % of respondents % reported previous practice experience in at least one other country and 75% had practiced for at least 2 years in Qatar 59% practiced in a chain community pharmacy 85% practiced in a community pharmacy located in Doha 5 0 Egypt India Philippines Jordan Sudan Other countries Country awarding highest degree Pakistan MH 8

10 Current Involvement in Breast Cancer Health Promotion Activities 37 MH Dec % of respondents % of respondents 23% 10% 67% Interest in Provision of Breast Cancer Health Promotion High Medium Low 28% 12% 60% Comfort in Provision of Breast Cancer Health Promotion High Medium Low Breast cancer knowledge was evaluated using 12 true/false questions 48% of participants scored less than 60% The mean percent score was 63 plus or minus 15% Scores were particularly low for the questions related to breast cancer risk factors and screening recommendations MH 10

11 Despite of this low breast cancer knowledge level, 77% expressed their interest in receiving breast cancer continuous education 41 MH Dec Attitudes and Believes about Breast Cancer Health Promotion MH Dec MH 11

12 MH Dec MH Dec Pharmacists perceived many barriers for integrating breast cancer health promotion including: Lack of breast cancer educational materials (79% of respondents) Lack of recognition of this pharmacist role by the public (61%) Lack of personnel (59%) Lack of enough time (51%) Conclusions This study represents the first known attempt to assess current practices of and willingness to provide breast cancer education by community pharmacists in Qatar Although most community pharmacists surveyed are not currently involved in breast cancer health promotion, the majority were interested in educating patients about breast cancer MH 12

13 Conclusions Low breast cancer knowledge level in addition to other identified barriers can prevent actualizing pharmacist role in breast cancer education Conclusions Further work should focus on providing these pharmacists with breast cancer continuous education opportunities and on overcoming all identified barriers as pharmacists are well situated to make an important contribution to breast cancer education in this country Acknowledgement This presentation was made possible by a grant from the Qatar National Research Fund under its Undergraduate Research Experience Program and by Qatar University Undergraduate Student Research grant 51 MH Dec MH 13
