“…In our survey, the physician's response rate (54.08%) was significantly different from that of nurses (43.87%) and of the midwives (27.61%) (p < 0.001). This rate (54.08%) was higher than that of the 2006 Ivorian survey (31.4%) conducted on a random sample of 500 practitioners extracted from the database of the approved drug prescribers of the "Mutuelle Générale des Fonctionnaires de Côte d'Ivoire (MUGEF-CI)" [5]. In contrast, the response rate of the targeted healthcare professionals in our study was lower than that reported in the literature [6]- [13].…”

“…So, the spontaneous reporting of ADRs by healthcare professionals would assess the safety profile because it is a surveillance method based on the aggregation, at the level of a territory, of ADR cases subsequent to their marketing authorization. In Ivory Coast, few studies have shown that ADRs are poorly reported by healthcare professionals [5] and our study is the first to focus on the perception of pharmacovigilance at Cocody University Hospital Center (CHU). Also, to increase the number of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) notifications we were interested in the perception of the pharmacovigilance by the doctors, nurses and midwives of the CHU of Cocody.…”

Objective: To assess the perception of pharmacovigilance by healthcare professionals practicing at the University Teaching Hospital of Cocody (Ivory Coast) in 2017. Methodology: A descriptive and analytic cross-sectional survey has been conducted in 2017 at the University Teaching Hospital of Cocody. This survey involved a sample of healthcare professionals practicing in 17 services who are prescribing medications and gave their oral consent. Results: A response rate of 54.08% (106/196) among physicians versus 43.87% (86/196) for the nurses and 27.61% (21/76) for the midwives. 57.94% (62/107) of paramedics versus 94.33% (100/106) of physicians had already heard about pharmacovigilance, during their basic training (40.18% of paramedics versus 73.58% of doctors). However, the main obstacles to the practice of pharmacovigilance were it teaching hours considered insufficient (94.39% of paramedics versus 75.47% of physicians), the lack of knowledge on the location of the pharmacovigilance unit (80.37% of paramedics versus, 40% of physicians) and the reporting of the adverse drug reactions to a hierarchical supervisor (60.60% of paramedics versus 37.25% of physicians). A regular visit of pharmacovigilance monitors in the hospital services (34.57% of paramedics versus 29.24% of physicians) and the availability of reporting forms (30.84% of paramedics versus 27.35% of physicians) could improve the perception of pharmacovigilance by the healthcare professionals. Conclusion: Our investigational survey has highlighted some factors that may influence the perception of pharmacovigilance by the healthcare professionals in Ivory Coast.
