“…This indicates that regular sensitization of all HCPs on the importance of PV is effective, similar to the findings of Li et al [34], who also showed that educational interventions improved knowledge, attitudes and the practise of reporting ADRs. In addition, similar to other studies that have shown continuous education of HCPs about PV, including ADRs, through presentations, verbal reminders, increased accessibility of report forms in wards, attendance of pharmacists in wards, and actively involving HCPs in education and training, improves their knowledge and attitudes about ADRs [27,29,31,34].…”

“…Encouraging as well following the intervention, none of the respondents felt that ADR reporting should be remunerated, differing from Das et al [31] where 16.7% of doctors indicated that ADRs were not reported because of a lack of remuneration. Ray and Venugopal [30] found that 54.7% of doctors disagreed that the absence of ADR reporting was due to a lack of remuneration, although rates could be enhanced with remuneration.…”

The results showed the benefits of pharmacist-driven interventions on HCPs' knowledge and awareness of PV and the number of the ADRs reported. Hospital management and policy makers should consider the important role pharmacists can play in improving rational and safe use of medicines among inpatients, based on appropriate training of HCPs and proper systems. As a result, help achieve the standards established by the Department of Health in South Africa.

“…The results of the study show that the neurologists had a good knowledge of the definition and the purpose of PV. It was similar to observations made by Hardeep et al [ 20 ] and Lakshman Das et al [ 21 ], who have shown that physicians, in general, have a good knowledge of medicinal safety, ADRs, and the obligation of the PV process. The results also show that the neurologists from our study had an idea about medication safety and ADR reporting, both from Poland and Egypt, and such knowledge was dependent on the age of the respondents.…”

Objectives: To compare neurologists’ knowledge, practice, and barriers of pharmacovigilance (PV) process among patients with epilepsy in Poland and Egypt. Methods: It was an international study that used an online questionnaire e-mailed to neurologists registered to practice in Poland and Egypt. Results: Most of the neurologists were familiar with the definition of PV and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), but relatively few neurologists knew where to report ADRs, especially the Egyptian neurologists. Only 31.11% of the neurologists from Egypt and 39.90% neurologists from Poland declared that they had reported ADRs at least once during their professional practice, and few of them declared the regular reporting of such incidents. The main reason for the neurologists not reporting ADRs was the lack of time and a conviction that reporting ADRs would be an additional burden that would generate extra work. Conclusion: The standards of pharmacovigilance process, safety control, and quality are not the same throughout the world. System-regulated PV stabilization in a country translates into the practice of maintaining PV. Monitoring the safety of pharmacotherapy and knowledge of risks associated with ADRs should be included in the academic curricula of physician courses.

“…In our study, the reason for underreporting was lack of time (82%) and their belief that a single unreported ADR would not affect the database, and a comparable result was seen in studies done by Lakshman Das[ 15 ] and Gupta et al . [ 8 ] Results of our study show that 32% of the resident doctors had never come across an ADR which is similar to a study done by Khan et al .…”

Background: Physicians, residents, interns, pharmacists, and nurses, as major health-care providers, bear a great deal of responsibility for reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Resident doctors are the backbone of health-care system; hence they play a significant role in detecting and reporting ADR, particularly for hospitalized patients, as they are in contact with a patient and available round the clock. Aims and Objective: Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding Pharmacovigilance among resident doctors and to improve reporting of ADR by training resident doctors for filling the ADR reporting form. Material: This was a prospective, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study. Materials and Methods: A prevalidated, structured KAP-relatd questionnaire was given to resident doctors before and after the educational intervention at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Pre- and post test questionnaires were then compared and statistical analysis was applied using McNemar’s test and paired t-test. Result: A total of 151 resident doctors submitted the pre- and post questionnaires. The study result depicted that resident doctors lacked the knowledge in reporting the ADRs. Post educational training, resident doctors inclined a positive attitude toward reporting ADRs. KAP among resident doctors has improved significantly as a result of the educational intervention. Conclusion: The present requirement in India is to motivate the residents through continuous medical educations and trainings in order to enhance the importance of Pharmacovigilance practice.
