Background.
The role of health care professionals among other stakeholders in early detection, assessment, documentation, and reporting as well as preventing suspected adverse reactions is very crucial to mitigate drug-related problems in health facilities.
Previous reports from literatures have indicated that adverse drug reaction reporting is highly linked to the knowledge and attitude of the health care professionals.
Objective.
To assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of health care professionals about adverse drug reactions and the associated factors at selected public hospitals in Northeast Ethiopia.
Methods.
A hospital-based quantitative cross-sectional study design was employed.
A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on KAP of selected health care providers by the convenience sampling method.
Data were entered into Epi info version 3.5.3 and analyzed using SPSS Version 20.
Association between dependent and independent variables was found by using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis where p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Results.
Out of 120 questionnaires distributed, 114 respondents filled and returned, giving a 95% response rate.
From total, 49 (43%) were nurses, 26 (22.8%) physicians, 17 (14.9%) pharmacy professionals, 12 (10.5%) health officers, and 10 (8.8%) midwives.
About 86 (75.44%) study participants had an inadequate knowledge towards ADR reporting, and half of participants failed to report the adverse drug reactions they encountered.
But the majority of participants (84, 73.68%) had a favorable attitude towards ADR reporting.
Nurses [AOR = 0.069, 95% CI (0.018–0.275)], health officers [AOR = 0.10, 95% CI (0.015–0.647)], and physicians [AOR = 0.14, 95% CI (0.03–0.64)] were found to be less likely to have adequate knowledge on ADR reporting compared to pharmacy professionals.
Conclusion.
Even though the majority of health care professionals had a positive attitude, they had inadequate knowledge and poor practice towards ADR reporting.
