Introduction: Adverse drug reactions are a significant concern for healthcare systems. Drug adverse reactions negatively affect the patients’ health and quality of life and impose a heavy economic burden on the health system. Under-reporting of adverse responses is one of the problems in this field, mainly caused by insufficient knowledge or inappropriate medical staff practice. The present study was designed to assess medical students' knowledge and practice (residents and interns) about reporting adverse drug reactions. (ADR).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on Mashhad University of medical sciences residents and interns in 2019. The researchers developed a questionnaire to evaluate the knowledge and practice concerning ADR reporting. The data was analyzed by SPSS V.16.
Results: Based on the 264 completed questionnaires, all medical residents and students had little information about ADR reporting. Only 12.9% had a history of ADR reporting, and 25.4% had seen the ADR reporting forms.
Conclusions: Based on the information obtained, increasing students' knowledge in this field is of great importance, and it’s necessary to provide them with relevant educational materials.
