Aims: This study was designed to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of adverse drug reaction reporting among healthcare professionals in Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital (HFSUH). Method: Hospital based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted on healthcare professionals of HFSUH. Based on purposive sampling technique, all eligible healthcare professionals (nurses, physicians and pharmacists) were involved in the study. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were coded, entered and analyzed using SPSS version 16. The test of association of selected categorical variables were done using cross tabulation and Pearson Chi-square test. Result: Our study indicated that about 297 participants provided their response to the distributed questionnaires which makes the response rate 91.4%. Of the total healthcare professionals involved in the study, 99 (33.6%) of them were able to understand the difference between adverse drug reaction (ADR) and side effects, of which pharmacists were significantly reported (95.24%, P<0.05). About 175(59.3%) of the respondents engaged in the study were reportedly knew the national ADR reporting system in Ethiopia. On the other hand, 181(61.36%) of the participants were recognized the presence of ADR reporting form while 114 (38.64%) of the respondents had no any information about its presence in the country. Conclusion: The study revealed that a gap in knowledge, awareness and practice of healthcare professionals on ADR reporting.

Adequate Knowledge

In India, the pharmacovigilance program is still in its infancy. National Pharmacovigilance Program of India was started for facilitating the pharmacovigilance activities. The ADR reporting rate is still below satisfactory in India. This cross-sectional questionnaire based study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Uttarakhand, which is a peripheral ADR monitoring centre to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and the practices of pharmacovigilance among the doctors and to compare it with the group of doctors attending educational CME for improving awareness of pharmacovigilance. The most important revelation of this study was that although adequate knowledge and the right attitude about adverse drug reaction reporting were instigated in the doctors after the educational intervention, the practice was still neglectful in both groups, emphasizing the need to design the strategies to develop adverse drug reaction reporting culture.

Background: Adequate knowledge, positive attitude and motivated practice of pharmacovigilance are the building pillars of ADR reporting. This study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and attitude towards pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting among the resident doctors and nursing staff in AIIMS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.Methods: This cross-sectional questionnaire based study was carried out in a tertiary care centre. The survey was carried out using a pre-validated questionnaire that included 20 questions to evaluate the participant’s knowledge, attitude and practice.Results: Answers to knowledge based questions were given correctly by around 82.6% (95% CI 0.7576 to 0.8794) of resident doctors and 74% (95% CI 0.6033 to 0.8424) nursing professionals. The difference of basic knowledge about pharmacovigilance between resident doctors and nursing professionals was insignificant (p-value is 0.7967). The most common reason for underreporting was unawareness, which was opted by 69% (95% CI 0.6153-0.7617) of resident doctors, while among the 58% (95% CI 0.4422-0.7064) nursing staff, the major factor was non-feasible ADR monitoring system in hospital. The suggestion of conducting training and awareness programme to promote ADR reporting given by resident doctors and nursing staff were 85% (95% CI 0.7872-0.0957) and 80% (95 % CI 0.6677-0.8895) respectively.Conclusions: The participants were well aware of pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting. They had expressed the positive attitude towards pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting. But the routine practice of reporting ADRs is lacking. Hence there is need for increasing awareness and building positive attitude and practices among the health care professionals.
