“…Study done among pharmacists in Western China also showed that higher professional title was an important determinant of knowledge and attitude of pharmacists. 24 However in our study, it did not translate into ADR reporting practices as none of the BSc nurses had ever reported an ADR. This points to need for more training and motivation.…”

Background: Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) are common in hospitalized patients. Nursing staff spends most time in patient care placing them at a key it position to recognize ADRs at the earliest. However, ADR reporting practices among nurses is very poor. We conducted this study to identify the factors affecting knowledge and attitude of nurses in a teaching hospital towards ADR reporting.Methods: A pre-tested and validated questionnaire was used. Correct responses in the knowledge section were awarded one mark and incorrect responses were given zero. Based on responses to attitude questions on a 5-point Likert scale, best attitude was scored five and least preferred attitude was given one point. Total knowledge and attitude scores were analyzed with regards to age, gender, educational qualification, average weekly working hours, total working experience in years and past experience with ADRs and ADR reporting. Knowledge scores were also correlated with attitude scores.Results: Knowledge level was poor with 48.29±23.85% average score while attitude of the respondents was reasonable with 65.69±10.05% average scores. The knowledge scores and attitude scores of BSc degree holders was higher than GNMs and ANMs (p<0.001). Those who had independently identified an ADR had higher knowledge scores (p<0.01) and more positive attitude (p<0.001). Attitude scores also had a significantly strong correlation with knowledge level of the respondents (r=0.72).Conclusions: Knowledge about ADR reporting is the most important factor determining the attitude towards ADR reporting. Increasing awareness would be pivotal in changing attitude and thus, improving reporting rates.

“…The number of pharmacist respondents in the eligible studies ranged from 10 to 1870 with a median of 179 (25th percentile = 87.8; 75th percentile = 331.25). Response rate ranges from as low as 10.5% to more than 90% . Most of the studies included in this review surveyed pharmacists working in hospital settings (either alone (27 studies) or with pharmacists working in community settings (19 studies)).…”

“…Many studies included in this review lacked a theoretical framework. In papers in which a theoretical framework was utilized, Inmans’ seven deadly sins for not reporting ADEs; Knowledge‐Attitude‐Practice Model (KAP); and theory of planned behaviour were the most frequently used theories to understand pharmacists' reporting of ADEs …”

Background Adverse drug event (ADE) reporting enhances early detection of risks associated with drug use. Pharmacists are uniquely suited to detect and report ADEs, but their contribution is diminished by under‐reporting. Objectives To assess pharmacists' knowledge and perceptions towards ADE reporting and to determine factors that improve or impede reporting using data from published survey articles using PRISMA. Methods A systematic review was conducted to identify published survey articles that assess pharmacists' knowledge of and attitudes towards ADE reporting. PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science databases were searched. The following information was extracted from eligible articles: demographic factors, sample size, response rate, survey delivery, pharmacists' working setting, barriers and facilitators of ADE reporting. Results Only 68 survey articles were eligible to be included in the review (out of 820). The number of respondents ranges from 10 to 1870, and response rate varied between 10.5% and 100%. Pharmacists working in hospital settings and clinical pharmacists were more likely to report, to have better knowledge, favourable attitudes and familiarity with ADE reporting systems compared to pharmacists working in community settings. The main barrier towards reporting (recorded in >70% of the studies) was lack of confidence/basic knowledge of pharmacovigilance systems/concepts and ADE reporting process. Providing special training and education programmes related to pharmacovigilance concept was the most commonly mentioned factor to enhance reporting. Conclusion To improve ADE reporting by pharmacists, it is recommended to design and integrate educational interventions related to pharmacovigilance within the pharmacy curriculum or continuous education courses.
