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.
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.
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 ( < 0.001). Encouraging feedback was received from the participants.
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.
本研究旨在评估三级医院中医疗保健专业人员(即药剂师和护理人员)在教育干预前后关于药物警戒(PV)实践的知识、态度和行为(KAP)。
这是一项基于观察和问卷的教育干预前后测试研究,涉及药剂师和护理人员。在教育干预前后,向药剂师和护理人员发放了一份关于PV的KAP的15分预验证问卷。在研究开始前获得了伦理批准。
共有120名药剂师和60名护理人员参与了KAP问卷前后测试研究。比较教育干预前(KAP前)和教育干预后(KAP后)的PV的KAP,发现正确回答率具有统计学意义(<0.001)。收到了参与者的积极反馈。
本研究证明,通过向作为医疗保健系统骨干的药剂师和护理人员传授PV知识和进行药物不良反应报告的实践培训,可以提高PV的KAP以及常规实践中药物不良反应报告的水平。
