Abstract

Adverse drug reactions can increase morbidity and mortality in hospitals and the community. Monitoring the incidence of adverse drug reactions can prevent or reduce the harm experienced by patients and can improve public health. Pharmacists have an important role in drug monitoring, starting from the manufacturing process to marketing, so pharmacists must have knowledge about adverse drug reactions and how to solve them. This study aims to determine the knowledge of pharmacists on reporting adverse drug reactions using the literature study method. This research is qualitative research with descriptive analysis using literature review method obtained through Google Scholar, Pubmed, Sciencedirect based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The journal search results found 774 studies, namely 160 in science direct, 212 in Pubmed, and 402 from Google Scholar. Then deletion of articles was carried out based on inclusion and exclusion criteria so that nine journals met the inclusion criteria. This literature review study concludes that pharmacists’ knowledge of reporting adverse drug reactions can be categorized as poor knowledge. This poor pharmacist knowledge is influenced by education, age, sense of responsibility, and pharmacist attitude. Variables such as education level, age and sense of responsibility, and attitude towards the problem are important and can be changed. So that training is needed on reporting adverse drug reactions and collaboration between healthcare professionals, authorities, and government authorities to implement a learning system for reporting adverse drug reactions.
