81 P. : charts ; 25cm Objectives: Two validated self-administered questionnaires were distributed to pharmacists attending an awareness workshop (before and after); and a telephone survey was completed three months after the workshop to identify possible barriers to the reporting process. ADR reports (yellow cards) received at the Cairo Satellite Center from participating pharmacists were monitored for six months, and analyzed for quality (validity and seriousness) and reporter demographic and professional factors. Results: Two hundred and eighty-one pharmacists (95.25%) and two hundred and seventy pharmacists (91.52%) completed pre and post-workshop questionnaires respectively. A comparison of their knowledge of ADRs to report before and after the workshop showed significant difference (Wilcoxon test p < 0.05). Two hundred and four pharmacists (72.6%) completed the follow-up questionnaire, with lack of time, administrative barriers and inability to complete patient details being the most frequent reasons for not reporting. A total of 163 yellow cards were received from 49 pharmacists (17.44%) over six months, of which 126 reports (77.3%) were serious ADRs. Seriousness and causality were found to be statistically significant in influencing ADRs reporting. Demographics of reporting pharmacists showed significance for completion of post-graduate studies, ministry of health hospitals and pharmacist post in hospital. Conclusion: Despite pharmacists{u2019} adequate knowledge after the workshop they failed to maintain consistent reporting. Addressing the barriers to reporting and the personal factors influencing the process may be needed specialized Nehal Ahmed Alraie ; Supervised Amr Saad , Nirmeen Sabry , Samar Farid Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Pharmacy - Department of Pharmaceutics Issued also as CD Awareness workshop Factors that influence adverse Reactions reporting trends http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf EG-GiCUC 161013 20250223031555.0 eng
