Pharmacovigilance (PV) and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting are essential components of ensuring medication safety. However, many healthcare students have limited knowledge in these areas. This study evaluates the pharmacovigilance knowledge and ADR reporting skills among undergraduate medical and nursing students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Deoghar, with 190 undergraduate healthcare students. Participants completed a validated structured questionnaire assessing their pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting knowledge. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, with descriptive statistics to present the results.
The findings revealed that 35 % of students had limited knowledge of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting, while 52 % demonstrated a moderate level of understanding. A majority were aware of the importance of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting, although they faced challenges in completing ADR reports accurately.
Although students exhibited a basic understanding of pharmacovigilance, significant gaps were found in their ability to effectively report ADRs. These findings underscore the need for enhanced pharmacovigilance education within healthcare curricula, ensuring students are adequately prepared to apply their knowledge in clinical settings.
药物警戒（PV）和药品不良反应（ADR）报告是确保用药安全的重要组成部分。然而，许多医学生在这些领域的知识有限。本研究评估了本科医学和护理专业学生的药物警戒知识和药品不良反应报告技能。
在迪奥加尔的全印度医学科学研究所（AIIMS）对190名本科医学生进行了一项横断面研究。参与者完成了一份经过验证的结构化问卷，以评估他们的药物警戒和药品不良反应报告知识。使用SPSS 23.0版对数据进行分析，并采用描述性统计方法呈现结果。
研究结果显示，35%的学生对药物警戒和药品不良反应报告的知识有限，而52%的学生表现出中等程度的理解。大多数人意识到药物警戒和药品不良反应报告的重要性，尽管他们在准确完成药品不良反应报告方面面临挑战。
尽管学生们对药物警戒有基本的了解，但在有效报告药品不良反应的能力方面仍存在显著差距。这些发现强调了在医疗课程中加强药物警戒教育的必要性，确保学生有足够的准备在临床环境中应用他们的知识。
