摘要
Abstract Introduction Under-reporting of adverse drug reactions is a major challenge in Tanzania. It is important to educate the health care providers about pharmacovigilance in order to improve the reporting rate. Objectives: We conducted a study with the objective of evaluating the impact of an educational intervention based on the knowledge on pharmacovigilance among healthcare providers in Tanzania. Methods: A pharmacovigilance e-blended learning method was used. Pre and post-test, courses were the basic concepts in Pharmacovigilance and the safety of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs. Descriptive analyses were run to determine the proportions of the correct and wrong answers for pre and post training. Results A total of 118 (72%) completed the pre-and post-test for both the first and the second courses. There was an increase in the correct answers in the post-test to every question. The median score of pre-intervention for knowledge about basic pharmacovigilance increased from 5 (range 4–7) in pre-test to 8 (range 7–9) in post-test. The median score for anti-TB drug safety issues monitoring and management increased from 4 (range 4–6) in pre-test to 7 (range 7–9) in post-test. Conclusion The findings of this study showed that knowledge scores and correct answers were increased following an educational intervention among HCP.
