To study the attitudes and knowledge of pharmacists in Hong Kong toward the reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
In December 1993, all pharmacists who were working in retail shops (n = 230), hospitals (n = 44), or outpatient clinics (n = 12) in Hong Kong were sent a questionnaire as well as a letter explaining the purpose of the survey.
One hundred and twenty-nine pharmacists (retail pharmacies 40.4 percent, hospitals 68.2 percent, outpatient clinics 50 percent) responded. Although 93 percent of the pharmacists in this survey agreed that it is necessary to report ADRs, a much smaller proportion (14.7 percent) had actually done so in the previous 12 months. Most pharmacists (87.4 percent) were not aware of any ADR reporting system in Hong Kong. There did not appear to be a relationship between ADR reporting and the length or place of practice, workload, or patient contact time. Severe or unusual ADRs and ADRs to new products were perceived to be significant enough to report.
The great majority of pharmacists in Hong Kong agreed on the necessity of reporting ADRs. The lack of knowledge of an ADR reporting program might have led to nonreporting in the past. It is important that there be continuing efforts to promote ADR reporting programs.
研究香港药剂师对药物不良反应（ADR）报告的态度和知识。
1993年12月，向香港所有在零售店工作的药剂师（n = 230）、医院药剂师（n = 44）或门诊诊所药剂师（n = 12）发送了一份问卷以及一封解释调查目的的信件。
129名药剂师做出了回应（零售药店占40.4%，医院占68.2%，门诊诊所占50%）。尽管本次调查中93%的药剂师认为有必要报告药物不良反应，但在前12个月中实际报告的比例要小得多（14.7%）。大多数药剂师（87.4%）不知道香港有任何药物不良反应报告系统。药物不良反应报告与从业时间长短、执业地点、工作量或与患者接触时间之间似乎没有关系。严重或不寻常的药物不良反应以及新产品的药物不良反应被认为有足够的重要性需要报告。
香港绝大多数药剂师认同报告药物不良反应 的必要性。过去可能由于对药物不良反应报告程序缺乏了解而导致未进行报告。持续努力推广药物不良反应报告程序非常重要。
