Background:
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are unfavorable and harmful reactions to drugs used for disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or modifying normal body functioning.
Objective:
The research examined nursing students' knowledge and perception of adverse medication responses and the impact of structured training interventions.
Methods:
Single group pre and post-interventional study was conducted on nursing students using a questionnaire.
Results:
Pretest group had the lowest mean knowledge score (56.84010, SD = 17.28675), whereas the post-test group displayed the highest mean score (69.17513, SD = 16.48941). After a duration of one month, the level of knowledge saw a reduction; however, it still remained greater than the level before the training. The mean knowledge was 59.16244 with SD of 18.26255.
Conclusions:
The structured training program enhanced nursing students' ADR knowledge and perception.
