摘要

Objectives It is known that community pharmacists in Malaysia underreport adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In order to improve ADR reporting, a theory-based understanding of the factors associated with the community pharmacists' reporting behaviour is important. This study used the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to identify the predictors of behavioural intention to report ADRs to the regulatory authority among community pharmacists in Malaysia and to assess the relative importance of the predictors. Methods A questionnaire-based study was conducted among 188 randomly selected community pharmacists in the state of Johor, Malaysia. The questionnaire included four main TPB constructs (intention, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control) and related measures, including perceived moral obligation, past reporting behaviour and sociodemographic variables. Descriptive and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Key findings A total of 164 questionnaires were collected. The mean score of intention to report ADRs was 15.43 (SD = 2.99). The final model of the hierarchical regression analysis showed that attitude towards ADR reporting (P = 0.004), subjective norm (P = 0.010) and perceived moral obligation (P = 0.014) were significant predictors of intention to report ADRs. Attitude was the most significant predictor, followed by subjective norm and perceived moral obligation. Conclusions Interventions targeting community pharmacists' attitude, subjective norms and perceived moral obligations towards ADR reporting, with a specific focus on attitude would likely have a positive impact on improving ADR reporting in Malaysia.
