Abstract

Background

The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) about pharmacovigilance (PV) practices among health care professionals, that is, pharmacists and nursing staff before and after educational intervention in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods

This was an observational and questionnaire-based pre- and post-test educational interventional study involving pharmacists and nursing staff. A 15-point prevalidated questionnaire on KAP about PV was distributed to pharmacists and nursing staff before and after educational intervention. Ethical clearance was obtained before the start of the study.

Results

A total of 120 pharmacists and 60 nursing staff participated in pre- and post-KAP questionnaire study. The KAP of PV when compared before (pre-KAP) and after (post-KAP) the educational intervention, the correct response rates were found to be statistically significant (P < 0.001). Encouraging feedback was received from the participants.

Conclusion

This study proves that KAP of PV and adverse drug reaction reporting in routine practice can be improved by imparting knowledge about PV and hands-on training on adverse drug reaction reporting among pharmacists and nursing staff who are the backbone of health care system.

教学医院药师和护理人员药物警戒知识、态度和实践的问卷调查

背景本研究旨在了解某三级医院卫生专业人员（即药师和护理人员）在教育干预前后对药物警戒（PV）行为的知识、态度和行为（KAP）。方法采用观察性和问卷调查法对药师和护理人员进行测试前和测试后的教育干预研究。在教育干预前后，分别向药师和护理人员发放了一份15点预效性PV认知能力问卷。在研究开始前获得了伦理许可。结果共有120名药师和60名护理人员参与了kap前后的问卷调查。在教育干预前（KAP前）和后（KAP后）比较，发现正确反应率有统计学意义(P <；0.001)。与会者的反馈令人鼓舞。结论通过对医疗卫生系统的骨干药师和护理人员进行PV知识的传授和药物不良反应报告的实践培训，可以提高PV知识和药物不良反应报告的KAP水平。
