The aim of this study was to determine and compare the level of knowledge and perception of ADRs reporting and pharmacovigilance among interns and hospital pharmacists in different health-care settings in Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among pharmacists and pharmacy interns in different hospitals in Saudi Arabia. A total of 315 participants completed the self-administered and validated questionnaire during the period from August 2018 to March 2019.
There was poor perception and knowledge of pharmacovigilance and ADRs reporting among pharmacists as well as intern pharmacists. However, pharmacists had better knowledge score compared to interns (=0.043). Most of the respondents believed that ADRs reporting is important. The majority of both interns and pharmacists stated that they did not receive adequate education about pharmacovigilance during their undergraduate or internship program.
There is a gap in knowledge and perception about pharmacovigilance among practicing pharmacists and new pharmacy graduates. Drug safety fundamentals and policies should be taught to undergraduate pharmacy students in Saudi Arabia.
本研究旨在确定并比较沙特阿拉伯不同医疗机构中实习医生和医院药剂师对药品不良反应报告和药物警戒的认知水平。
在沙特阿拉伯不同医院的药剂师和药学实习生中开展了一项横断面研究。在2018年8月至2019年3月期间，共有315名参与者完成了自行填写并经验证有效的问卷。
药剂师以及实习药剂师对药物警戒和药品不良反应报告的认知和了解程度较差。然而，药剂师的知识得分高于实习生（=0.043）。大多数受访者认为药品不良反应报告很重要。大多数实习生和药剂师均表示，他们在本科或实习期间未接受过足够的药物警戒教育。
执业药剂师和新毕业的药学专业学生在药物警戒的知识和认知方面存在差距。沙特阿拉伯的本科药学专业学生应学习药物安全基本原理和政策。
