Evaluation of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices about Pharmacovigilance among Community Pharmacists in Qassim, Saudi Arabia
Pharmacovigilance (PV) is an essential activity to detect adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and ensure patient safety.

| description | Pharmacovigilance (PV) is an essential activity to detect adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and ensure patient safety. Hence, we aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding PV among community pharmacists in Qassim, Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted by using a validated questionnaire after obtaining ethical approval from the Deanship of Scientific Research, Qassim University. The sample size was calculated based on the total number of pharmacists in the Qassim area by using Raosoft, Inc. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 was used for data entry and analysis. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to identify the predictors of KAP. A

Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 was used for data entry and analysis. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to identify the predictors of KAP. A
-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
A total of 209 community pharmacists participated in the study; 62.9% of them defined the PV correctly, and 59% of them defined ADRs correctly. However, only 17.2% knew where to report ADRs. Interestingly, the majority of participants (92.9%) reported that it is necessary to report ADRs, and 73.8% of them were willing to report ADRs. A total of 53.8% of the participants identified ADRs during their careers; however, only 21.9% reported ADRs. Barriers discourage ADR reporting; the majority of the participants (85.6%) do not know how to report ADRs.
Community pharmacists who participated in the study were knowledgeable about PV, and their attitude towards reporting ADRs was highly positive. However, the number of reported ADRs was low because of the lack of knowledge on how and where to report ADRs. Continuous education and motivation about ADRs reporting and PV are warranted among community pharmacists for the rational use of medications.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1660-4601</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1661-7827</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1660-4601</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043548</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36834240</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Switzerland: MDPI AG</publisher><subject>Analysis ; Attitudes ; Care and treatment ; Community involvement ; Community participation ; Computer software industry ; Computerized physician order entry ; Drug stores ; Knowledge ; Medical personnel ; Patients ; Pharmaceuticals ; Pharmacists ; Pharmacology ; Pharmacovigilance ; Professionals ; Questionnaires ; Regression analysis ; Side effects ; Social sciences ; Statistical analysis</subject><ispartof>International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023-02, Vol.20 (4), p.3548</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2023 MDPI AG</rights><rights>2023 by the authors.
