Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Pharmacovigilance program is responsible for conducting activities related to ADR monitoring. But it is encountering problem of underreporting. The medical students are the budding doctors who can play a major role in strengthening this program. Therefore, our study was carried out to assess and compare the KAP of MBBS students according to the year of study. Materials and Methods: It was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. Questionnaire contained 21 questions to evaluate KAP of second, prenal and nal year MBBS students regarding pharmacovigilance. Results: KAP scoring was average for knowledge, good for attitude and poor for practice. The mean score for knowledge was highest for nal year students (7.01 ± 1.96) whereas attitude and practice score was highest for second year students (5.65 ± 0.64; 2.18 ± 0.95). There was a signicant difference in mean score between three groups for practice. Conclusion: Students lack adequate knowledge and practice but they have positive attitude towards pharmacovigilance.
