Título: | An Educational Intervention to Improve Nurses Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions |
Autores: | Marquez, Susana Herdeiro, Maria Teresa Roque, Fátima Ribeiro-Vaz, Inês |

Resumo: | Introduction: Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are an important cause of
mortality and morbidity leading to additional costs with health [1–3]. Drug
safety data before commercialization is limited and incomplete, which is
the reason why pharmacovigilance is important. The spontaneous ADR
report system is efficient and fundamental to the safety surveillance of
market medicines. Nurses can have an important role in ADR reporting
due to their daily activities of drugs administration (including vaccines).
However, among these professionals, there is a high rate of underreporting
[4,5]. Based on the reasons proposed by Inman for underreporting ADR, it
was concluded that the main obstacles to ADR reporting among nurses
were indifference (the belief that a single case cannot contribute to
medical knowledge) and the lack of knowledge about the pharmacovigilance
system [6].
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the increase of ADR
reports by nurses after an educational intervention.
Methods: We performed a quasi-experimental study in nurses working in
primary care in Braga district, Portugal. 113 individuals were placed in the
intervention group while the control group included 590 nurses. Two
educational interventions were performed to nurses working in primary
care in ACES Cavado II (intervention group) that focused on the problem
of adverse drug reaction, the impact on public health and spontaneous
reporting. Statistical analysis were based on absolute and relative
frequencies.
Results: Between January 2013 and September 2014 the Northern Pharmacovigilance
Centre received 8 reports/100 nurses from the intervention
group and 5 reports/100 nurses from control group.
Conclusions: The educational intervention almost double the number of
reports during the study period. The 2nd intervention had more impact
than the 1st one. There was no significant increase in the quality of ADR
reports in the intervention group. In the 2nd intervention the number of
reports increased only at the intervention day. |
