“…In our study, majority, that is, 64% and 51% of the respondents has the habit of reading articles regarding the prevention of ADRs and attending the awareness programs on PV respectively, which is a good practice for improving their knowledge about the ADR management and to improve the patient care. Similar to our study Manjhi et al [12] have also reported that more than 60% of their study participants had the habit of reading articles on the prevention of the ADRs. However, Shakya et al [23] reported that only 38.4% has the practice of reading article related to the PV.…”

“…Lack of awareness about PV is one of the most important causes of such under-reporting, the reasons for which may be due to lack of trained staff and lack of awareness regarding detection, communication, and spontaneous monitoring of ADRs among the health-care professionals (physicians, nurses, pharmacist, and dentists). To improve participation of health-care professionals in spontaneous reporting, it might be necessary to design strategies that modify Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) about PV and ADR reporting [7,12,13]. Studies conducted in the medical interns, nurses and hospital pharmacists suggested that the continual awareness programs on ADR reporting and PV might improve their practicing skills and paves the way toward the quality of care [12,[14][15][16][17].…”

Objectives: The present study was contemplated and done to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) toward adverse drug reactions (ADR) reporting and Pharmacovigilance (PV) of the Doctor of Pharmacy Pharm.D interns for the first time in South India, to get an insight into their awareness and reporting culture. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive KAP questionnaire-based study was conducted for 6 months on Pharm.D interns. Results: A total of 603 Pharm.D interns were participated, among them 578 (95.85%) were considered for the analysis. On an average of 78.25% of the participants had a good knowledge, around 82% were aware that patients’ will be benefited from the ADR reporting. The majority of the participants had a positive attitude. Moreover, 59% had reported the ADRs through different ADR reporting procedures 52% were advised the awareness programs for improving the reporting culture, and 34% had the difficulty in deciding or diagnosing the ADR. Conclusion: The KAP of the Pharm.D interns toward the ADR reporting and PV is appreciable and may reduce the burden on the other healthcare workers and improve patient care.

“…All HCPs should report ADRs as part of their professional responsibility. To improve the participation of HCPs in spontaneous reporting, it might be necessary to design strategies that modify knowledge, attitude, and practice about PV and ADR reporting (Manjhi et al, 2016). HCPs are in the best position to report on ADRs what they observed in their everyday patient care and is influenced by their KAP of ADR reporting and PV Farha et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Lack of awareness about pharmacovigilance (PV) is one of the most important causes of under-reporting, which is widespread and poses a daunting challenge in India. The aim of this study is to assess and to document the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) interns who practicing in hospitals with regards to PV and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting and to identify the causes of under reporting. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted for a period of six months across ten hospitals in Andhra Pradesh, India. Results: Overall, 578 responses were analysed, 78% of the participants had good knowledge on reporting ADR, 82% were aware that patient will be benefited from the ADR reporting, and the majority of the participants had a positive attitude towards reporting ADR. Fifty-nine percentage of the participants had reported the ADRs through different ADR reporting procedures, 52% were advised the awareness programmes for improving the reporting culture, and 34% had the difficulty in deciding or diagnosing the ADR. Conclusion: The KAP of the Pharm.D interns is appreciable and may reduce the burden on the other healthcare providers and improve patient care.

Objectives Underreporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) limits and delays the detection of signs. The aim of this systematic review with meta-analyses was to synthesize the evidence of educational interventions (EIs) efficacy in health professionals to increase ADR reporting, attitudes, and knowledge of pharmacovigilance. Evidence acquisition A systematic literature review was carried out to identify randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of EI in pharmacovigilance in health professionals to improve ADR reports, knowledge, and attitude toward pharmacovigilance. ADR reports were pooled by calculating Odds Ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI), while pharmacovigilance knowledge and attitude were pooled by calculating a mean difference (MD) with 95%CI. In addition, the subanalysis was performed by EI type. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 software. PROSPERO registry CRD42021254270. Results Eight hundred seventy-five articles were identified as potentially relevant, and 11 were included in the systematic review. Metanalysis showed that EI increased ADR reporting in comparison with control group (OR = 4.74, [95%CI, 2.46 to 9.12], I2 = 93%, 5 studies). In subgroup analysis, the workshops (OR = 6.26, [95%CI, 4.03 to 9.73], I2 = 57%, 3 studies) increased ADR reporting more than telephone-based interventions (OR = 2.59, [95%CI, 0.77 to 8.73], I2 = 29%, 2 studies) or combined interventions (OR = 5.14, [95%CI, 0.97 to 27.26], I2 = 93%, 3 studies). No difference was observed in pharmacovigilance knowledge. However, the subanalysis revealed that workshops increase pharmacovigilance knowledge (SMD = 1.85 [95%CI, 1.44 to 2.27], 1 study). Only one study evaluated ADR reporting attitude among participants and showed a positive effect after the intervention. Conclusion EI improves ADR reports and increases pharmacovigilance knowledge. Workshops are the most effective EI to increase ADR reporting. Graphical abstract
