Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals (HCPs) towards adverse drug reaction reporting in three general hospitals. Methods: cross-sectional study was conducted from Oct to Nov 2020. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires with Google form. Results: Most HCPs have positive knowledge of ADR and consider ADR reporting to be one of the most important professional activities. Although 73.48% of HCPs have ever met ADR, only 49.08% have ever reported ADR. Of the respondents, over 40% did not know how to report and mild reactions that are not worth reporting, these are main factors contributing to non - reporting of ADRs. Conclusion: Most HCPs have the positive awareness and attitude towards ADR reporting but the actual frequency of ADR reporting was low. To improve the quantity and quality of ADR reports, training and to combine reporting methods was showed in our study.
