“…Of these, one study was a web-based survey of pharmacists [ 38 ]. Eleven studies were conducted in south India [ 23 , 24 , 26 – 27 , 29 – 30 , 32 – 33 , 40 , 42 ], five in the western part of India [ 22 , 25 , 31 , 45 , 47 ], 3 studies in the capital city New Delhi [ 28 , 43 , 48 ], two in central India [ 21 , 37 ] and one study each was conducted in Bihar [ 34 ], Assam [ 36 ], Punjab [ 41 ], and Jaipur [ 46 ]. In addition, three studies did not specify their study location [ 35 , 38 , 44 ].…”

BackgroundSpontaneous or voluntary reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is one of the vital roles of all health professionals. In India, under-reporting of ADRs by health professionals is recognized as one of the leading causes of poor ADR signal detection. Therefore, reviewing the literature can provide a better understanding of the status of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of Pharmacovigilance (PV) activities by health professionals.MethodsA systematic review was performed through Pubmed, Scopus, Embase and Google Scholar scientific databases. Studies pertaining to KAP of PV and ADR reporting by Indian health professionals between January 2011 and July 2015 were included in a meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 28 studies were included in the systematic review and 18 of them were selected for meta-analysis. Overall, 55.6% (95% CI 44.4–66.9; p<0.001) of the population studied were not aware of the existence of the Pharmacovigilance Programme in India (PvPI), and 31.9% (95% CI 16.3–47.4; p<0.001) thought that "all drugs available in the market are safe". Furthermore, 28.7% (95% CI 16.4–40.9; p<0.001) of them were not interested in reporting ADRs and 74.5%, (95% CI 67.9–81.9; p<0.001) never reported any ADR to PV centers.ConclusionThere was an enormous gap of KAP towards PV and ADR reporting, particularly PV practice in India. There is therefore an urgent need for educational awareness, simplification of the ADR reporting process, and implementation of imperative measures to practice PV among healthcare professionals. In order to understand the PV status, PvPI should procedurally assess the KAP of health professionals PV activities in India.

“…Considering the fact that Kuwait is still behind other countries in the region lacking a formal ADR reporting system or PV activities (Wilbur, 2013), and that ADR under-reporting among physicians is directly related to poor KAP (Aziz et al, 2007, John et al, 2012b, Agarwal et al, 2013, Paveliu et al, 2013, Abdel-Latif and Abdel-Wahab, 2014, Amrain and Becic, 2014, Kiran et al, 2014, Alshammari et al, 2015, Panja et al, 2015), exploring physicians’ KAP in this study was crucial. To date, only one study was conducted in Kuwait that explored KAP among pharmacists working in secondary and tertiary government hospitals (Alsaleh et al, 2017).…”

“…Among HCPs, physicians play a key role in ADR reporting by direct observation of the effect of a medicine or through information provided to them by patients who have been exposed to the actual ADRs of a medicine. In this context, most studies were conducted in hospital settings and have shown that ADRs under-reporting among physicians is directly associated with poor KAP (Aziz et al, 2007, John et al, 2012b, Agarwal et al, 2013, Paveliu et al, 2013, Abdel-Latif and Abdel-Wahab, 2014, Amrain and Becic, 2014, Kiran et al, 2014, Alshammari et al, 2015, Panja et al, 2015).…”
