Findings:The response rate was 60 %. Twenty-seven (69 %) RNs knew that the MPA requested them to report ADRs. Two RNs had reported an ADR. A fifth of the RNs thought they had enough knowledge about how to report an ADR. Conclusion: The low amount of reports was not due to the RNs lacking knowledge about ADRs, but due to a lack of sufficient understanding of how to report the ADRs to the MPA. Tailored education in relation to these identified knowledge gaps would most likely lead to increased reporting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
