“…For example, knowledge about health issues like COVID-19 can impact attitudes towards government measures (Ferdous et al, 2020). Poor knowledge among healthcare professionals has been associated with negative attitudes towards the healthcare profession (Tran, 2023). Societal views influence perceptions of nursing, sometimes leading to it being seen as subordinate to other professions, affecting autonomy and decision-making within the field (Blau et al, 2023).…”

Amidst a burgeoning digital landscape, the role of digital marketing in shaping students’ attitudes towards healthcare professions remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to investigate how digital marketing influences students’ perspectives about healthcare careers, with a specific focus on students in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study involved a survey of 148 students from Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Respondents were asked about their exposure to various forms of digital marketing and their attitudes towards healthcare professions. The study revealed a significant relationship between students’ exposure to digital marketing and their attitudes towards healthcare professions. Notably, higher levels of digital marketing exposure were associated with more positive attitudes towards healthcare careers. Additionally, the findings suggest that targeted advertising campaigns and engaging social media content play a crucial role in shaping these attitudes. The study underscores the potential of digital marketing in addressing the challenges of healthcare workforce shortages and uneven distribution. It highlights the need for educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and policymakers to harness digital marketing strategies effectively to enhance the appeal of healthcare professions among potential students and professionals.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) contribute significant clinical and economic burden to the country’s healthcare system globally. Prompt reporting of ADRs by the community pharmacist is essential to the active pharmacovigilance program. Objectives: This study assesses private community pharmacists’ knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about ADRs and reporting. Design: A cross-sectional, qualitative study was performed using a pre-validated self-administered questionnaire. Methods: This self-administered questionnaire was conducted at community pharmacies between March and July 2022. The data collected were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests to examine the differences in overall KAP scores with a subgroup of sociodemographic characteristics of the study participants. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the predictors of practice. Results: In total, 156 fully completed questionnaires were collected by the community pharmacists. A positive association between the designation, qualification, and work experience with the total scores of the respondents was observed ( p < 0.05). Among the predictors of ADR reporting practice, a significant association was observed with knowledge score (⩾6, p = 0.0219), designation (pharmacists, p = 0.0102), qualification (masters, p = 0.0002), and work experience (⩾11 years, p = 0.0184). Most community pharmacists had good knowledge and attitude but poor practice toward reporting ADRs. Uncertainty of how and where to report, lack of training, lack of reporting forms, and insufficient clinical knowledge were the practice-based barriers in the ADR reporting process. Conclusion: Though the study found sufficient understanding and favorable views on ADR reporting, participants reported poor practices and barriers to reporting ADR. Therefore, structured continuing professional development programs for community pharmacists are needed to overcome the barriers and enhance the practice of ADR reporting.

BackgroundKnowledge, attitude, and practice of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and ADRs reporting among healthcare workers were related to the quality and ADRs reporting rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the multifaceted interventions on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare workers and to compare the proportion of spontaneous ADRs reports at the study center, before and after instituting multifaceted interventions.MethodsA comparative intervention study was conducted among healthcare workers at the hospital. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after instituting the multifaceted interventions to assess the KAP of ADRs and their reporting. The impact of the multifaceted interventions was assessed by comparing their correct responses to the KAP questions and the proportion of spontaneous ADRs reports before and after the interventions. The pre- and post-intervention scores for KAP questions were compared usingMcNemar test by R Language.Results388 healthcare workers completed the study. The proportion of participants qualified for ADRs reporting increased significantly, from 73.5% (pre–intervention) to 99.2% (post–intervention) for knowledge scores, from 70.6% to 91.8% for attitude scores, and from 81.4% to 97.2% for practice scores (p < 0.001). Similarly, the number of spontaneous ADRs reports increased by 31% after 3 months of interventions.ConclusionMultifaceted interventions instituted at the study center improved the knowledge, attitude, and practice of health workers towards ADRs and spontaneous reporting. It would be beneficial to implement such interventions in other hospitals in Vietnam.
