Abstract
ADR monitoring is an important function of many pharmacists working in the clinical field. The aim of this study is to assess the student knowledge about Pharmcovigilance and activities done in ADR centers and to find out the impact of pharmacy student service in ADR monitoring. An 11 item web based questionnaire was developed and employed to collect data from Pharm D students at different colleges in South India. A thorough review was conducted of relevant literature pertaining to knowledge, views, and practices of pharmacy students towards the ADR monitoring and reporting in pharmacy colleges. About 61 students were responded through Google forms. The majority students from Vth year and VIth year Pharm D students of about 67.25% were responded well. About 42.62% responders have the correct knowledge of about Pharmacovigilance. About 77.04% of responders having ADR reporting centres in their colleges or their hospital. Responders of about 75.40% were communicates the reported ADRs to consulting physicians by communicating, during ward rounds or by informing to corresponding department faculties. 86.88% of responders were documented the reported ADR. This study demonstrated that knowledge, attitude and practices towards pharmacovigilance is gradually improving among pharmacy students that may improve the patients’ quality of life by correcting adverse reactions, but unfortunately the actual practice of ADR reporting is still deficient among them.
