Evaluating the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Healthcare Workers Towards Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting at a Public Tertiary Hospital in Johannesburg

ConclusionsDespite an awareness of adverse drug reactions, participants were unlikely to report adverse drug reactions due to time constraints and a lack of knowledge. Adverse drug reaction reporting is essential to ensuring patient safety. The benefits of reporting should be emphasized by encouraging continuous professional development in pharmacovigilance, placing more emphasis on adverse drug reactions at an undergraduate level.
