More Details: Abstract Background Based on the perspective of social network theory, this study explored the network indicator system that facilitated optimal knowledge sharing effect in Medication Therapy Management Services (MTMS) training teams. The aim was to provide a reference for optimizing MTMS training and improving training quality. Methods Utilizing social network analysis combined with a questionnaire survey, a knowledge sharing matrix for MTMS training teams was constructed. Knowledge sharing behavior was assessed from three perspectives: individual networks, whole networks, and cohesive subgroups. Results Individual network analysis showed that the knowledge sharing effect within the training team reached its peak when the out-degree centrality was ≥ 3.5, in-degree centrality was ≥ 2.5, eigenvector centrality was ≥ 0.065, and closeness centrality was ≥ 7.86. Whole network analysis indicated that the optimal knowledge sharing effect occurred when the network density of the training team was higher than 0.0343 and the training size was less than 117 participants. Cohesion subgroups analysis demonstrated that knowledge sharing was more effective when members with similar working years participated in training together. Conclusions The knowledge sharing indicator system developed for MTMS training teams, based on social network analysis, can assist in optimizing the MTMS training model and improving training effectiveness.
