“…In our study, the response rate of participants was 73.25 % which is similar to that shown by Desai et al who reported a response rate of 70.7% in resident doctors [15] ADRs contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in clinical practice with its associated economic consequences [16]. Studies from developed economies such as UK and USA have reported a higher rate of ADR reporting and higher awareness among healthcare professionals about pharmacovigilance [17,18 ]. while current contribution of India to global safety database is 3% [19] In our study, the perception is high which is similar to study from India which has reported encouraging findings regarding attitudes and perceptions of medical practitioners about pharmacovigilance [20] Spontaneous ADR reporting is a vital method for detecting new safety issues related to drugs.But reporting the same exclusively in resident doctors was observed in very few studies.…”

“…Forty-one percent of the FDA reports received in 1996 were from consumers, contrasted with approximately 10% in 1986 (35,36). In addition, nearly one-third of the FDA reports originating from physicians may be prompted by patient reports of symptoms and their attribution to a drug (37). The information patients have to share about adverse drug reactions does contribute to our knowledge of drug safety.…”

The study uddressed issues surrounding the pntient j . recognition of whether a symptom is d r u g or niseiise-related. Studies have demonstrated that the infornmtion the Iaypopulation has about illness can be organized into Jive categories: identity (symptoms and label), cause. time course. consequences. and cure. These elements, termed illness representations or prototyes. facilitate patient interpretation and response to symptoms as they occur the ore tic ally^ patients may have such a framework f o r interpretation of symptoms thrit thev considered adverse drug reactions. The purpose of this study was to explore whether ( i n adverse drug reaction ( A I M ) prototype esists. A self-administered questionnaire wus used t o elicit the subject i perceptions and awareness of adverse drug reactions. Subjects n'ere also asked to make judgments about severity of ADRs and frequency of piirticulur symptoms as drug-related effects. The study population was a sample of 338 adults visiting afnmi1.v practice clinic over a four-week period. A majority of the respondents reported personal e.rperienc-e of an ADR and described the event with information nhich was consistent with the Jive categories. Subjects who reported ADR e-rperience believed drug reactions occur more frequently and are less severe than those without such crperience. Results also indicated that people have knowledge about ADR symptoms that is substantially accurate. and may use a protofipe to facilitate identification of svmptonis as iin adverse ej'ect.

“…Similar results have been reported by Khan et al 15 and Palaian et al 16 among health-care professionals in Nepal and Rajesh et al 17 The low objective knowledge scores among dentists in this study were in agreement with the studies done by Khan et al 15 Contrasting results have been observed in a Graph 1: Term PV as understood by study participants study performed by dentists in the United Kingdom by Yip et al 18 Studies done among medical health professionals of developed countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have shown better knowledge scores. [19][20][21] In the United Kingdom and the United States, most of the medical and dental schools have introduced a yellow card ADR reporting system in the undergraduate syllabus and their skills are also assessed. In the studies reported by Desai et al 10 and Gupta and Udupa, 11 only 30 to 90% of medical professionals in India have been found to be aware of ADR reporting system.…”

Introduction: This is a cross-sectional knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAPs) study on pharmacovigilance (PV) and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting among dental students in a teaching hospital in India. Aim:The aim of this study was to assess the KAP of dental students regarding PV, ADR reporting, and barriers toward the same. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional survey using a selfadministered, investigator-developed, close-ended questionnaire was conducted in an academic dental hospital in India. All prescribers including third year students, final year students, and house surgeons of the same institute were included for assessment of KAP regarding PV using 16, 8, and 8 items respectively. Data regarding barriers toward ADR reporting and demographics were also collected. Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were applied followed by post hoc test.Results: A total of 241 of 275 respondents participated in the study with a response rate of 87.5%. Overall, 64% reported that they had no idea about the term PV. Age was significantly associated with knowledge (p = 0.045) and attitude (p = 0.016). Barriers contributing to underreporting were difficulty in deciding whether or not an ADR has occurred (52.0%), concerns that the report may be wrong (37%), lack of confidence to discuss ADR with colleagues (29%), and almost no financial benefits (24%). Knowledge Conclusion:Participants had a comparatively favorable attitude toward PV, but their knowledge and practice need considerable improvements. This study highlights the need for appropriate dental curriculum changes and further multicentric studies to shed more light on important issues of PV among dentists in India.Clinical significance: This study explores dentists' knowledge, attitude, and behavior regarding PV, which could help to improve patient's safety and care. The favorable attitude of dentists is an indication that PV could be added in depth in the curriculum and in general practice. Information on barriers for reporting the ADRs could help to find possible solutions for removing the barriers precisely.
