Abstract
Pharmacovigilance is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects of drugs, or any other drug-related problems. Awareness of the impact of ADRs on individual patients is important for Health care professionals’ perspectives on safety issues. The stories of patients who have experienced ADRs will elucidate the impact of ADRs to Health care professionals. Both serious and non-serious ADRs may negatively influence patients’ quality of life and treatment satisfaction and hamper drug compliance. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India has set up National Pharmacovigilance Programme (NPP) in 2004 with the goal to ensure the benefits of use of medicine and outweighs the risks and thus safeguards the health of the Indian population. We performed a cross sectional questionnaire survey to assess knowledge, awareness and practices of health care professionals about pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting in RSV institute of medical sciences. After observing the Pharmacovigilance programme of our institution we found that doctors have better knowledge regarding pharmacovigilance in comparison to nurses and students. But their practice and attitude regarding ADR reporting has to be improved. We have to increase awareness of doctors that ADR reporting will not hamper their image as the name of doctors prescribing the causative drugs are kept confidential.We have to frequently conduct seminars and workshop to improve knowledge of nurse and students.
