Improving health care providers' awareness and understanding of the benefits and risks of statin treatment could be of assistance in optimizing the statin prescribing process. Aims and Objectives This study aimed to assess health care providers' knowledge related to statin therapy and the impact of educational outreach intervention based on the perceived knowledge. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study based on educational outreach intervention targeting physicians and pharmacists in 1 major tertiary hospital in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. Participants responded to a 12‐item, validated questionnaire both prior to and after the outreach educational program. Two sessions were conducted separately for 2 cohorts of pharmacists and physicians. The knowledge scores prior to and after the educational intervention were calculated and compared using a paired‐samples t‐test. Results The response rate to both pre‐and post‐educational outreach questionnaires was 91% (40/44). Prior to the intervention, around 84% (n37) of the participants decided to initiate statin therapy for both pre‐assessment clinical case scenarios; however, only 27% (n12) could state the clinical benefits of statin therapy. Forty‐five percent (n20) could state the drug to drug interactions, and 52.3% (n23) could identify the statin therapy that can be given at any time day/evening. The educational outreach program increased participants' knowledge scores of 1.450 (95% CI, 0.918 to 1.982) point, P < .0005, which is statistically significant. Forty respondents (91%) were of the opinion that statin side effects are the most common cause of treatment discontinuation. Conclusion This work demonstrated the impact of an educational outreach intervention on improving health care providers' knowledge and beliefs about statin therapy. This type of intervention is considered effective for short‐term knowledge enhancement. Further research is needed to test the long‐term efficacy of such intervention Wiley 2018-06 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/64191/7/64191_Impact%20of%20educational%20outreach%20intervention_SCOPUS.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/64191/13/64191_Impact%20of%20educational%20outreach%20interventio_WOS.pdf application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/64191/19/64191_Impact%20of%20educational%20outreach%20intervention.pdf Elnaem, Mohamed Hassan and Nik Mohamed, Mohamad Haniki and Huri, Hasniza Zaman and Mohd Shah, Azarisman Shah (2018) Impact of educational outreach intervention on enhancing health care providers' knowledge about statin therapy prescribing in Malaysian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
