Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals gaps in ADR reporting among pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, suggesting need for improvements.

Key Points

  • While 87% of pharmacists understand pharmacovigilance, only 47.5% have reported an adverse drug reaction.
  • Participants showed positive attitudes toward ADR reporting, with 94% supporting its importance in pharmacy practices.
  • Barriers to ADR reporting include lack of time (65%), insufficient training (58%), and confusion about procedures (49%).
  • Significant relationships exist between knowledge levels and demographic factors like age, gender, and education.
