Abstract
Background
Pharmacovigilance is a global effort to protect patients and public health by detecting and responding to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). However, underreporting is a major obstacle in reporting ADRs. An effective reporting culture is one way to overcome the challenges in ADR reporting.
Objectives
This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the patient safety culture related to adverse drug reaction reporting among healthcare professionals in a public hospital in Indonesia.
Methods
This observational cross-sectional study was conducted by Dr. R. Soedjono Selong Hospital, East Lombok, Indonesia. Data were collected using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture 2.0, conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and a researcher-developed questionnaire.
Results
Among the 238 healthcare professionals who responded, 60.9% had previously reported ADRs. Age, education, working period, knowledge, perception, facilities, policies, and environment were significantly associated with patient safety culture and ADR reporting. The working period and age emerged as the most influential factors in patient safety culture and ADR reporting, respectively.
Conclusion
Age, education, working period, knowledge, perception, facilities, policy, and environment significantly affected the patient safety culture and ADR reporting.
