Résumé en anglais

BACKGROUND: Nigeria is yet to achieve the internationally recommended number of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reports. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the impact of an educational lecture followed by repeated text messages via the Short Messaging System (SMS) on ADR reporting. METHODS: Six teaching hospitals in the South-South zone of Nigeria were randomized in 1:1 ratio into intervention and non-intervention hospitals. The intervention hospitals received an educational lecture followed by monthly SMS reinforcements over 12 months. The number and quality of ADR reports from the local pharmacovigilance centers of each teaching hospital over the 12 months before and after the intervention were described. RESULTS: A total of 4912 healthcare professionals were working in the 6 hospitals at the time of the study (3099 in the intervention and 1813 in the control) and the educational intervention was conducted between January and March 2016. In the intervention hospitals, the number of ADR reports increased from 57 in the pre-intervention period (from January 1st 2015) to 75 in the post- intervention period. However, the proportion of serious ADRs decreased slightly from 26(45.6%) to 33(44%). Post-intervention, the report of suspected drug details in the ADR report form also improved. CONCLUSION: There was a trend to increased absolute number and quality of reports following educational intervention and SMS reminders.< Réduire
