Background:<\/strong> Pharmacists as a significant member of healthcare team are expected to play a pivotal role in adverse\u00a0drug reaction (ADR) detection, monitoring and reporting. However, pharmacists have been found to\u00a0<\/span>inconsistently engage in this practice, thereby underscoring the need for periodic evaluation of their participation\u00a0<\/span>in core-aspects of ADRs.<\/span><\/p>

Objective<\/b>: To assess knowledge, attitude and participation of pharmacists in 11-public hospitals in Ibadan,\u00a0southwestern Nigeria in ADR detection, monitoring and reporting.<\/span><\/p>

Method:<\/b> This was a questionnaire-guided cross-sectional survey among pharmacists in the 11-selected hospitals.\u00a0<\/span>Demographic information, general knowledge in ADRs, as well as attitude and participation in ADR detection,\u00a0<\/span>monitoring and reporting were assessed. Data were summarised using descriptive statistics, while categorical\u00a0<\/span>variables were evaluated using Chi-square ( 2) test at p<0.05.<\/span><\/p>

Results:<\/b> All the 37 participants completely responded to the question-items. Twenty-one (56.8%) had 1-10 years’\u00a0<\/span>practice experience and 24 (65.0%) had prior ADR-related training. Overall, 17 (45.9%) had ‘adequate’ knowledge,\u00a0<\/span>28 (75.1%) demonstrated ‘positive’ attitude, and 17 (45.9%) showed ‘high’ level of participation in ADR detection\u00a0<\/span>and monitoring. Prior training in ADR-reporting significantly influenced knowledge ( 2=4.220, p=0.04) and\u00a0<\/span>attitude ( 2=9.489, p=0.004).<\/span><\/p>

Conclusion:<\/b> The general knowledge of hospital pharmacists about ADRs and reporting is relatively moderate.\u00a0<\/span>Approximately three-quarters show positive attitude towards ADR reporting, and nearly half exhibit high level of\u00a0<\/span>participation. There is generally a need for consistent training and re-training of hospital pharmacists in the core-<\/span>concept of ADRs and ADR-reporting, as this may help in bridging the knowledge and practice gaps to enhance\u00a0<\/span>reporting rate.<\/span><\/p>
