Description
Laith Al-Shdifat and nine colleagues surveyed in 2026 Jordanian pharmacists on cranberry extract supplements. Cranberry products are widely sold for urinary tract health, yet pharmacist knowledge and advice habits had not been mapped in Jordan.
Of 409 replies, most respondents were under 35, based in central Jordan, and working in community pharmacies. Average knowledge scored 7.65 out of 14, with 57.9 percent below the low-knowledge cutoff, while attitudes and practice scores sat near the middle of their scales. Community pharmacy work and research-based sources predicted higher knowledge, and higher knowledge plus warmer attitudes predicted safer practice. Gaps on safety, interactions, dose limits, and pregnancy advice point to training needs, though online recruitment tempers the reach of the findings.
