D.) Since the implementation of "The Regulation on the management of Pharmaceutical Safety Information", lower perception of Adverse Drug Reaction(ADR ) for doctors and pharmacists has been recognized as a main cause of under-reporting of ADR. Thus, there is a need for study on the perception of ADR reporting for doctors and pharmacists and its influencing factors in order to improve its reporting system. In this study. 176 subjects were selected using multistage stratified randomized sampling from the nationwide population of doctors and pharmacists in April.1993. Three types of analysis were performed : (1) general characteristics, knowledge level, credibility ,their attitude and perception were analyzed by t-test and oneway-ANOVA test : (2) influenting factors were identified from the correlation and multiple-regression analysis : and (3) Ways to improve reporting system were identified by chi-square test and percentage. The results were as fort clews: 1. Perception level of ADR reporting of most repondents were relatively high : whereas their knowledge and credibility to ADR reporting system was very low. However, as knowledge revel and credibility in administrative activities of regulatory authority for countermeasurement on drug safety management increase, the level of perception of ADR reporting system also increases. 2. 70.9% of repondents has received complaints of ADRs from patients during a period of one year : and 43.4? of ADRs had serious ones which required discontinuation of therapy. 3. Determinant factors affecting AOR reporting system were a positive attitude on safety fund for ADR and the previous experience of reporting to the company. This shows that such practical safety measured were significant main variable affecting ADR reporting system. 4. Of 176 respondents, 56.8% didn't know whether their hospitals have been designated as mom toping institute or not. Those institute which aware of being designated had higher level of perception on ADR reporting system than those which d? not aware or mien-designated. Pharmacists, female, dermatologic and pediatric specialists had significantly statistically higher perception level than doctors, male. and other specialties. 5. With retard to the ways to improve the System, 91.5% suggested active promotion by regulatory authority: whereas only 52.8% suggested incentive system for reporting. With regard to the possible foreign ADR monitoring system to be introduced in Korea, regulatory monitoring was most preferred measure with 80.7% : whereas compulsory monitoring and reward system were shown lower reponse rate with 44.3% and 36.9%, respectively.restrictio
