ADR reporting in the workplace (practice)
Concerning whether the respondents had observed any cases of ADR in
their practice, nearly 49% (n=222) responded with yes, and
approximately 37% (n=166) said no. Only 25% of the CPs (n=55) reported
the ADRs to the HOD of their institute, and 13% (n=28) to the SBMDA.
The majority of the participants
(84%, n=377) declared that there was no reporting form available at
their workplace. Most of them (69%, n=309) responded with no when asked
if their workplace provides information regarding the reporting
procedure. Meanwhile, 57% of them (n=254) felt that they did not have
enough training in ADR reporting. Regarding whether the workplace
encouraged the reporting of ADRs, the responses of the participants were
distributed nearly equally between yes and no.
Regarding the problems encountered
while reporting ADRs in the workplace, 59% (n=266) answered that ADRs
reporting in Yemen is not widely promoted by the relevant authorities,
and 57% (n=256) replied that a lack of information provided by the
patient is an obstacle in the reporting system. The detail findings on
practice can be found in Table 4.
