Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the major challenges in healthcare settings, especially in pediatric hospitals where children are more vulnerable to drug effects. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare professionals regarding ADR reporting and identify factors associated with increased reporting.
Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted on a total of 401 healthcare professionals which were sampled by convenience method and data collected by interview to assess their KAP using a structured questionnaire.
Results: The total knowledge scores were highest among pharmacists (21.0 ±4.3) compared to nurses (15.0 ±4.6) and physicians (17.4 ±4.6) (p<0.001). Similar patterns were noted for attitudes and practices. Higher KAP scores were significantly associated with increased ADR reporting.
Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that the KAP of the Healthcare providers towards spontaneous ADR reporting were low. Awareness among Healthcare providers, collaboration among other healthcare professionals and training for healthcare providers were the highly suggested ways to improve ADR reporting - Scientific Type
