Knowledge, attitude, and practice among community pharmacists toward adverse drug reaction reporting and pharmacovigilance: A nationwide survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To enhance the impact of pharmacovigilance on drug safety, it must be integrated into the healthcare system. This study aimed to examine community pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding adverse drug reaction reporting and pharmacovigilance.

Methods

A self-administered, cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among eligible community pharmacists between July and September 2023. Participants completed online and paper-based questionnaires after providing prior consent. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 28). One-way ANOVA was used to assess the significance of the association between knowledge, attitude, practice scores, and demographic characteristics.
