“…From 13 reviewed studies, one study [ 31 ] and two studies [ 23 , 25 ] did not report the knowledge and attitudes of health care professionals towards ADR reporting, respectively. The knowledge and attitude of health care professionals towards ADR reporting ranged from 22.68% to 60.33% and 47.22% to 67.14%, respectively, with an average of 41.50% and 57.18% ( Table 2 ).…”

Adverse drug reactions are major global public health problems and an important cause of mortality. Problems related to medicines safety can emerge from real-life medication use due to increasing access to complex treatment of concomitant infectious and noncommunicable diseases, hence leading to a higher prevalence of drug-related problems. The objective of this review was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of adverse drug reaction reporting among health care professionals in Ethiopia. Relevant literatures were searched from Google Scholar, PubMed, Hinari, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct using inclusion and exclusion criteria. From 133 searched studies, 13 studies were reviewed. The knowledge and attitude of health care professionals towards adverse drug reaction reporting ranged from 22.68% -60.33% and 47.22% -67.14%, with averages of 41.50% and 57.18%, respectively. While 46.93% encountered adverse drug reactions and 41.8% reported in the last 12 months. One-third (34.15%) of health care professionals do not know how to report adverse drug reactions. Fearing to report, uncertainty about the adverse drug reaction, concern about reporting generating extra work, thinking that one report does not make any difference, nonavailability of reporting forms, and lack of feedback from regulatory authority were the stated reasons for underreporting. We conclude that the knowledge, attitude, and practice of health care professionals towards spontaneous ADR reporting were low. Conducting awareness and educational training and implementation of electronic reporting can improve the ADR reporting practice.

Background: Drugs have become one of an essential component of healthcare systems worldwide. However, there is a concern for their safety. Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is common during usual clinical practice and it is associated with increased morbidity, hospitalization and mortality. Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of healthcare professionals (HCPs) towards ADRs reporting at inpatient wards of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), Ethiopia. Methods: Hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 280 HCPs at the inpatient wards of TASH. The data required for the present study was collected using self-administered structured questionnaire and samples were selected through both stratified and systematic random sampling methods, where the type of profession was used as a stratum. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.00 for the window. Results: Of 280 HCPs to whom the questionnaire initially administered, 213 respondents filled and returned the questionnaire, giving a response rate of 76.1%, and were included in the analysis. The study revealed that 78.9% and 47.9% of HCPs have poor knowledge and negative attitude towards ADR reporting respectively. Among respondents, 38% of HCPs encountered patient with ADR, 90.2% of them reported the ADR they encountered, of them only 10.8% were reported to Ethiopian food, medicine, and healthcare administration and control authority, a regulatory body for receiving and monitoring ADR throughout the country. Conclusion: HCPs in TASH had poor knowledge, attitude and practice towards ADRs reporting. The hospital should devise strategies to enhance detection and reporting of ADRs.

Background The adequate knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of pharmacovigilance and ADRs reporting is crucial for health care students. Objective This study aimed at assessing the KAP of final-year medical, pharmacy, and nursing (MPN) students towards pharmacovigilance and ADRs reporting at the University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 296 final-year MPN students at the University of Gondar College of Medicine and Health Sciences from November 1, 2020 to January 30, 2021. A close-ended, structured, self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection prospectively. SPSS ® (IBM Corporation) version 24 was used to analyze the data with descriptive and inferential statistics. The comparison of the KAP of groups was made by using a Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U -test. Statistical significance was declared at a p-value < 0.05. Results Among 296 participants, the majority of them had a poor level of knowledge (69.9%), practice (95.9%), and moderate attitude (62.5%) towards pharmacovigilance and ADRs reporting. The median (interquartile range) score of the students’ knowledge (maximum score = 15), attitude (maximum score = 50), and practice (maximum score = 5) towards PV and ADR reporting was 6 (5–8), 32 (28.25–35), and 1 (0–1), respectively. The KAP of the students has shown differences with age, sex, hearing of the term PV, and discipline. A lack of training on ADRs (49%) reporting and not knowing where and how to report ADRs (47.3%) were among the main reasons of MPN students for not reporting ADRs. Conclusion A majority of final-year MPN students had poor knowledge, practice, and a moderate attitude towards PV and ADRs reporting. The school of medicine, pharmacy, and nursing should adequately cover the issue of PV and ADRs reporting in the undergraduate curriculum.
