Clinical pharmacy (Pharm.D or MSc Clinical Pharmacy graduates) is a patient care oriented specialty. It aims to improve patient therapeutic outcomes and minimize medication errors. In Palestine, it is a new specialty taught at two universities. In order to implement this new specialty in healthcare settings, healthcare providers should have a high awareness about it, its role and importance in clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness and acceptance levels among healthcare providers’ about clinical pharmacy specialty. A cross sectional study carried out using a self-administered questionnaire that was developed and tested by a panel of experts for validity and reliability, then it was distributed and filled by the convenient sample of health care providers in the northern and middle of Palestine between January and March 2019. An awareness scale and acceptance scale were developed from the questions used to identify the healthcare providers’ awareness and acceptance. Chi-square (X²) -testing was performed to check for the significant association. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version22). Among 309 respondents, 203(65.7%) were male, 67(21.7%) were working at Jerusalem, 229(74.1%) of them completed their first degree at Arab countries and 69(54.7%) completed higher education. Regarding their work, 169(54.7%) were physicians, followed by 85(27.5%) nurses and 55(17.8%) pharmacists. Results revealed that the majority of healthcare providers had a moderate 182(58.9%) and good 81(26.2%) awareness level toward the Clinical pharmacy specialty roles and 217 (70.2%) had a good acceptance level toward their implementation among the health worker team. Significant differences were found between healthcare providers’ awareness level and their sex (P = 0.001), professions (P = 0.006) and job descriptions (P = 0.013). There were no significant differences between the health care providers’ acceptance level and their age, sex, qualification, profession and job descriptions. Our results revealed the ability to collaborate in the integration of such specialty within the Palestinian healthcare system. Additional interest from the Ministry of Health is recommended to integrate clinical pharmacy workers among the health system and promote their relations with other disciplines.

临床药学（药学博士或临床药学理学硕士毕业生）是一个以患者护理为导向的专业。它的目的是改善患者的治疗结果并最大限度地减少用药错误。在巴勒斯坦，这是两所大学教授的新专业。为了在医疗保健环境中实施这一新专业，医疗保健提供者应该对其、其在临床环境中的作用和重要性有很高的认识。本研究旨在评估医疗保健提供者对临床药学专业的认知和接受程度。使用自填问卷进行横断面研究，该问卷由专家小组开发并测试其有效性和可靠性，然后由巴勒斯坦北部和中部的卫生保健提供者的方便样本在 1 月期间分发和填写。 2019 年 3 月。根据用于确定医疗保健提供者意识和接受度的问题制定了意识量表和接受度量表。进行卡方 (X ^{2 ) 检验以检查显着关联。}使用SPSS（版本22）分析数据。309名受访者中，203人（65.7%）为男性，67人（21.7%）在耶路撒冷工作，229人（74.1%）在阿拉伯国家完成了第一学位，69人（54.7%）完成了高等教育。就其工作而言，169名（54.7%）是医生，其次是85名（27.5%）护士和55名（17.8%）药剂师。结果显示，大多数医疗保健提供者对临床药学专业角色的认知程度为中等（182 人（58.9%））和良好（81 人（26.2%）），并且 217 人（70.2%）对其在卫生工作者团队中的实施具有良好的接受程度。医疗保健提供者的认知水平与其性别（P = 0.001）、职业（P = 0.006）和工作描述（P = 0.013）之间存在显着差异。医疗保健提供者的接受程度与其年龄、性别、资格、职业和工作描述之间没有显着差异。我们的结果揭示了在巴勒斯坦医疗保健系统中整合此类专业的合作能力。建议卫生部进一步关注将临床药学工作者纳入卫生系统并促进他们与其他学科的关系。
