“…[18] Pharmacists are a trusted source of medication safety information for other healthcare professionals, patients and the public. [12,34] As pharmacists are ideally placed across the country in various healthcare sectors, they can play a key role in increasing risk communication outreach to urban and rural areas, other healthcare professionals, policymakers, the pharmaceutical industry, and the general community. Regulatory authorities should conduct regular training for pharmacists on risk communication methods, latest safety issues and effective dissemination.…”

Background: Medication risk communication is essential to ensure the safe use of medicines. However, very few nations worldwide have established effective risk communication systems. To date, the effectiveness of risk communication among healthcare professionals in Malaysia has never been evaluated. Our study aimed to (i) evaluate doctors’ and pharmacists’ awareness of risk communication methods; (ii) identify factors predicting the usefulness of these methods; and (iii) compare respondents’ preferences for risk communication to outline suggestions for enhancement. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional survey covering four commonly used risk communications, namely a national drug bulletin, safety alerts, Direct Healthcare Professional Communication letters (DHPCs), and educational materials. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between independent variables and the usefulness of risk communication. We performed qualitative analysis to gain insights on respondents’ perspectives on risk communication.Results: Of the 1146 responses received, 650 were from pharmacists (56.7%). Among the four methods surveyed, 71.5% of respondents were aware of educational materials, while awareness of the other three methods ranged from 20.7% to 53.9%. Pharmacists had higher awareness of all four methods compared to doctors. Private sector respondents were more aware of DHPCs compared to those from the public sector. The strongest predictors for finding risk communication useful were being a pharmacist [odds ratio (OR) = 18.2; 95% CI (10.98-30.07); p < 0.001], having ≥30 years’ work experience [OR= 4.9; 95% CI 1.98-12.08; p < 0.001], and working in the pharmaceutical industry [OR= 4.6; 95% CI (1.08-19.72); p = 0.039]. Both doctors and pharmacists preferred risk communication in the English-language and electronic format. However, other preferences differed between the professions and sectors. Analysis of free-text comments revealed five core themes to guide risk communication enhancement strategies.Conclusions: Risk communication awareness differed between public and private sector doctors and pharmacists depending on communication source. Integrating our findings with the theory of effective communication, we provide suggestions for developing strategic plans on enhancing risk communication. Public-private sector collaboration is key in ensuring risk communication effectiveness.

Researching the control of cumulative risk for submarine tunnel shield construction is of great significance for improving risk management capability. Firstly, the concepts of cumulative risk, fragility, and the theory of system dynamics (SD) are introduced. Secondly, the risk conduction network is established, and the risk conduction mechanism based on fragility is analyzed. Then, the cumulative risk control model is established by SD. Finally, Dalian Metro Line 5 Cross-sea Large Diameter Shield Construction Project is used to verify the model. Simulations of cumulative risk with and without control measures are compared, and the result is in line with objective facts. The correctness and effectiveness of the model are verified.

“…On the other hand, in 2018, a cross-sectional survey among 360 patients in Nigeria demonstrated a low level of awareness of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting (Adisa & Omitogun, 2019). A statistical study in Thailand utilizing PLS-SEM showed a notable link between instrumental attitude and patients' intention to report ADRs to community pharmacists (Assanee et al, 2021). Based on a literature review, we surveyed HCPs to gather their opinions on factors influencing patient ADR reporting, considering their frequent interactions with patients.…”

“…The 2000 International Conference highlighted the importance of patient ADR reporting for pharmacovigilance, recognizing its insight-providing capability. Many comparative studies found that the patient ADR reporting frequently offers more comprehensive details than HCP' report (Assanee et al, 2021) (Avery et al, 2011). Here comes our aim through those studies carrying only for good pharmacovigilance practices of HCP (including knowledge, attitude, practice and perception).…”

This paper presents a conceptual model used to evaluate how the improvement of good pharmacovigilance practices by patients during COVID-19 period influences the reactivity of the healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the Draa Tafilalet region in Morocco, concerning the reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) through barriers that influence the reporting from both patients and HCPs. The empirical study is based on a survey submitted to a sample of a total of 180 HCP and on the application of latent variable structural modelling through the partial least squares (PLS) method. The 2017 version of the XL-STAT software served to perform the statistical calculations. The study investigates the reliability and validity of the proposed model. Our conclusions show that the improvement of good pharmacovigilance practices impact positively the reactivity of HCP in terms of ADRs reporting. The reliability of the measurement was > 0.7, which allowed us to test the internal and external validity of our conceptual model. 11 hypotheses were validated against two invalid derivative hypotheses. Spontaneous ADRs reporting is the cornerstone of any pharmacovigilance system aiming to maintain patient safety. Our findings indicate the necessity firstly, to initiate a training program on reporting for all HCPs, and secondly, to inform the general public about the national pharmacovigilance center, where ADRs can be reported. Both initiatives aim to keep the culture of ADR reporting perennial.
