Abstract
Background: Lack of knowledge of pharmacovigilance and underreporting of adverse drug reaction (ADR) are worldwide problems of big concern. Gross underreporting of ADR in India led to increased hospital admissions, increase in length of hospital stay, and increase in healthcare cost burden.

Aims and Objectives: This study was planned to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice on ADR and pharmacovigilance among nursing staff in Gandhi Medical College and Associated Hospitals, Bhopal Madhya Pradesh.

Materials and Methods: A questionnaire-based, cross-sectional, and observational study was conducted among nursing staff in a tertiary care Centre. Data were collected in the form of a validated questionnaire comprised of 17 questions regarding knowledge, attitude, and practice of nursing staff toward ADR and Pharmacovigilance. Data were analysis by descriptive statistics and result was computed.

Results: Around 33% of respondents were aware of Pharmacovigilance program of India and 99% of them had knowledge about main objective of pharmacovigilance. Out of total filled questionnaire received, only 12% nurses practiced reporting ADR. The major factor discouraging participants from reporting ADR was lack of time to report. The majority of nursing staff had a positive attitude toward awareness of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting.

Conclusion: Our study has shown that there is lack of correct knowledge regarding ADR reporting and pharmacovigilance among staff nurses. Although, the attitude toward ADR reporting was adequate, the actual practice of ADR reporting is unsatisfactory. Hence, it is essential to train staff nurses regarding pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting.

Key words: Staff Nurses; Adverse Drug Reactions; Adverse Drug Reactions Reporting; Pharmacovigilance
