摘要：Purpose:The goal of this study was to compare the knowledge and attitudes of pharmacy and medical students regard_x0002_ing adverse drug reactions (ADRs),as well as their perceptions of barriers to ADR reporting,in a Higher Education Com?mission-recognised Pakistani university.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among final-year pharmacy (n= 91) and medical (n= 108) students in Pakistan from June 1 to July 31,2014.A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data.The responses of pharmacy students were compared to those of medical students.Results:Pharmacy students had a significantly better knowledge of ADRs than medical students (mean ± SD,5.61 ± 1.78 vs.3.23± 1.60;P< 0.001).Gender showed a significant relationship to knowledge about ADRs,and male participants were apparently more knowledgeable than their female counterparts (P< 0.001).The attitudes of pharmacy students regard?ing their capability to handle and report ADRs were significantly more positive than those of medical students (P< 0.05).In comparison to pharmacy students,a lack of knowledge of where and how to report ADRs was the main barrier that medical students perceived to ADR reporting (P = 0.001).Conclusion:Final-year pharmacy students exhibited more knowledge about ADRs and showed more positive attitudes regarding their capacity to handle and report ADRs than fi?nal-year medical students.
