| Summary, etc. | Background: Telepharmacy is a relatively recent advancement in healthcare services<br/>that enables providing high-quality pharmacy services to rural and remote areas. It<br/>gained increased attention during the COVID19 pandemic. Objectives: To assess the<br/>knowledge, perceptions, and readiness towards telepharmacy services among senior<br/>pharmacy students in a Malaysian public pharmacy school. Materials and Methods: A<br/>cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-developed, pre-tested, and validated<br/>35-item questionnaire among penultimate and final year students in a Malaysian public<br/>pharmacy school. Ethical approval was obtained before beginning the online data<br/>collection between September and December 2020. Descriptive and inferential data<br/>analyses were performed using SPSS version 22. A<br/>p-value ≤ of 0.05 was considered<br/>statistically significant. Results: The study received a total of 178 responses to the<br/>questionnaire. The response rates of the third and fourth years were 50.6% and 49.4%,<br/>respectively. Overall, 67% had high knowledge, and 68% showed high readiness level.<br/>Meanwhile, 61% of the responses had positive perceptions of telepharmacy services.<br/>A notably excellent knowledge was demonstrated in items related to the telepharmacy<br/>role during the pandemic (93.8%) and the technical competencies required for the<br/>service provider (96.1%). The beneficial role of telepharmacy to save patients’ resources<br/>was perceived positively with a 91% agreement level among study participants. The<br/>readiness items related to the lack of incentive and the excessive workload were<br/>associated with less agreement levels of 33.7% and 45.5%, respectively. Overall,<br/>participants’ knowledge of telepharmacy significantly impacted their expressed readiness<br/>to implement telepharmacy services in their future practice. Conclusion: Most study<br/>participants had adequate knowledge, positive perceptions and demonstrated readiness<br/>to implement telepharmacy services in their future pharmacy practice. The potential<br/>increase in workload and lack of incentive were the main concerns associated with the<br/>widespread adoption of telepharmacy practice models. |
