“…However a minority felt that in order to confirm causality assessment of their ADRs, patients should report ADR to healthcare professionals first. A similar view was expressed by some patients in a qualitative UK study [20] who considered that ADR reporting was a task for health professionals and not their responsibility, whereas the prevailing concern in our study was the quality of reports and certainty of the association. Altruistic reasons were mentioned by most interviewees, with only a minority expressing the view that it was an opportunity for personal gain, which is in line with other studies in UK and the Netherlands [13,[21][22][23].…”

Word count: 248 (abstract)Word count: 4353 (manuscript) 2 Abstract Purpose: The value of patients as potential reporters into pharmacovigilance systems is acknowledged worldwide and allowed in Thailand. However, nothing is known about the Thai public's awareness of direct patient reporting facility or their views concerning it. This study aimed to determine confidence among members of the public in identifying suspected ADRs, information sources they use and their views towards direct ADR reporting.Methods: Mixed methods study consisting of self-administered questionnaires (phase 1) and semi-structured, face-to-face interviews (phase 2) with members of the public, recruited in primary care centres, pharmacies and public places during October 2013 to February 2015. All questionnaire respondents reporting an ADR were invited to participate in Phase 2. Written informed consent was made before the start of the interview.Results: There were 414 (17.2%) of 2400 questionnaire respondents who had experienced an ADR, almost half (46%) of whom used their own experience to identify ADRs. Having a degree, having a severe ADR and consulting a physician increased respondent confidence in the association between medicine and suspected ADR. The majority (27)

“…A survey of 661 outpatients in Boston identified that 37% of ameliorable ADRs were related to failure of service users to inform physicians (19/51) [30]. Public awareness of ADR reporting remains low [31], [32]: a survey of 2028 UK adults indicated that while 477 (24%) had experienced an ADR, only 172/2028 (9%) were aware of reporting mechanisms [33], [34]. ADR reporting by physicians may retain an element of subjectivity [35], [36], and the long-term effects of educational interventions to increase ADR reporting are unclear [37].…”

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical effect of medication monitoring using the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) Profile for Respiratory Medicine.DesignSingle-site parallel-arm pragmatic trial using stratified randomisation.SettingNurse-led respiratory outpatient clinic in general hospital in South Wales.Participants54 patients with chronic respiratory disease receiving bronchodilators, corticosteroids or leukotriene receptor antagonists.InterventionFollowing initial observation of usual nursing care, we allocated participants at random to receive at follow up: either the West Wales ADR Profile for Respiratory Medicine in addition to usual care (‘intervention arm’ with 26 participants); or usual care alone (‘control arm’ with 28 participants).Main Outcome MeasuresProblems reported and actions taken.ResultsWe followed up all randomised participants, and analysed data in accordance with treatment allocated. The increase in numbers of problems per participant identified at follow up was significantly higher in the intervention arm, where the median increase was 20.5 [inter-quartile range (IQR) 13–26], while that in the control arm was −1 [−3 to +2] [Mann-Whitney U test: z = 6.28, p<0.001]. The increase in numbers of actions per participant taken at follow up was also significantly higher in the intervention arm, where the median increase was 2.5 [1]–[4] while that in the control arm was 0 [−1.75 to +1] [Mann-Whitney U test: z = 4.40, p<0.001].ConclusionWhen added to usual nursing care, the West Wales ADR Profile identified more problems and prompted more nursing actions. Our ADR Profile warrants further investigation as a strategy to optimise medication management.Trial RegistrationControlled-trials.com ISRCTN10386209

“…Some pilot qualitative work carried out in patients admitted to hospital with serious ADRs has found reporting the suspected ADR was not viewed as a priority by patients, and was described as the doctor's job. 5 Reports from patients are therefore complimentary to, not a replacement for, reports from healthcare professionals.…”
