Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A questionnaire based cross sectional study wherein 110 interns were enrolled to assess their knowledge and attitude regarding suspected adverse drug reaction reporting. Among 110 interns, only 22 % participants were aware of suspected ADR monitoring centre in their hospital. Approximately 36 % were aware of essential factors required for reporting of an ADR. The most common factors encouraging and discouraging reporting of an adverse drug reaction include seriousness of the event (93 %) and fear of reporting (55 %) respectively. The average scores of all participants for attitude related questions were approximately 80 (maximum score 115). The results of the present study indicate there is a need to create awareness about adverse rug reaction reporting. Majority of participants expressed their interest to participate in training programme related ADR reporting.
