Abstract

Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare workers (HCWs) toward adverse drug reactions (ADRs) as a basis for proposing interventions to strengthen ADR reporting capacity. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at three hospitals in Ca Mau using a questionnaire on HCWs’ knowledge and attitudes toward ADR reporting. Adequacy was defined as achieving ≥80% correct responses in each domain. Results: The mean knowledge score was 5.23 ± 1.89, with only 2.7% of HCWs meeting the adequacy criterion. The mean attitude score was 7.85 ± 1.86, with 57.5% achieving adequacy. At the time of the survey, only 12.3% of HCWs had received pharmacovigilance training. Professional category was the only factor significantly associated with adequate knowledge: physicians were more likely than nurses to reach adequacy (OR=3.88; p=0.047). Conclusion: Knowledge of ADR reporting among HCWs was low, whereas attitudes were moderate. Stratified interventions tailored by professional category, combining training with supportive measures, are needed to enhance the effectiveness of ADR reporting
