Abstract

Background

All stakeholders must address the global health concern of an increasing frequency of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), regardless of the practice settings. Adverse drug reactions have been found to be a significant cause of morbidity and death across all age groups, hospital admissions, and a significant financial burden on society and healthcare systems. The main objective of this study was to measure patients' awareness and knowledge of reporting adverse drug reactions using a questionnaire and then to help patients become more aware of and sensitive to reporting ADRs.

Methods

The current investigation was carried out in the OPD Block of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Deoghar using a pre-experimental study with one group pre-test post-test design. One hundred and ninety-nine patients who were visiting different OPDs and IPDs participated in this study.

Results

The average age of the 199 study participants was 34.6 years. The majority of participants were male, illiterate and belonged to rural areas. We found a statistically significant difference [-11.90(0.000*)] in the pre-test and post-test knowledge questionnaire scores of the participants, indicating the efficacy of awareness and sensitization for patients on ADR reporting.

Conclusions

This survey aims to inform patients about the pharmacovigilance Program in India. The questions are structured in a way that allows patients to reflect and become more self-aware while reading them. They also function as a set introduction to ADR (Adverse Drug Reaction) monitoring centers and increase patient awareness of reporting ADRs.
