| description | Introduction: Postgraduates play an important role in reporting adverse events connected with medical devices. Many postgraduates are unaware of the present MATERIOVIGILANCE PROGRAMME OF INDIA, which was launched by the Indian Pharmacopeia Commission to monitor adverse events due to medical devices for patient safety. However, there is currently not much-published data on their knowledge, attitude, and practice of materiovigilance in India. This study's objective is to evaluate postgraduate knowledge, attitudes, and practices on materiovigilance in a tertiary care hospital. Material and methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out with postgraduates. A validated, self-administered questionnaire was given to 73 postgraduates. Postgraduates were the volunteers, provided with a sheet containing 25 pre-validated questions with a time limit of 30 min. There were 10 questions based on knowledge, 8 based on attitude, and 7 based on practice to improve the reporting of medical device adverse events (MDAEs). Results: A total of 73 (100%) responses were received. About 55.41% (n = 40) of postgraduates had adequate knowledge about the various aspects of materiovigilance and 59.46% (n = 44) of postgraduates had a positive attitude towards MDAE reporting. However, 77.03% (56) of postgraduates have good practice towards MDAEs. Conclusion: Among postgraduates, the attitude towards materiovigilance was optimal. Postgraduates who participated in this study had adequate knowledge and practice of materiovigilance. Adequate training and continuous medical education are needed to improve the current standards of knowledge and practice of materiovigilance. Resumen: Introducción: Los posgrados desempeñan un papel importante en la notificación de eventos adversos relacionados con los dispositivos médicos. Muchos posgraduados desconocen el actual PROGRAMA DE MATERIOVIGILANCIA DE LA INDIA, que fue lanzado por el IPC para monitorear eventos adversos debidos a dispositivos médicos para la seguridad del paciente. Sin embargo, actualmente no hay muchos datos publicados sobre su conocimiento, actitud y práctica de materialvigilancia en la India. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de posgrado sobre materialvigilancia en un hospital de tercer nivel de atención. Material y métodos: Este estudio descriptivo transversal se realizó con posgraduados. Se entregó un cuestionario validado y autoadministrado a setenta y tres posgraduados. Los posgraduados fueron los voluntarios, a quienes se les entregó una hoja que contenía 25 preguntas prevalidadas con un tiempo límite de 30 minutos. Hubo 10 preguntas basadas en conocimientos, 8 basadas en actitudes y 7 basadas en la práctica para mejorar la notificación de eventos adversos de dispositivos médicos [MDAE]. Resultados: Se recibieron un total de 73 (100%) respuestas. Alrededor del 55,41% (n = 40) de los posgraduados tenían conocimientos adecuados sobre los diversos aspectos de la materialvigilancia y el 59,46% (n = 44) de los posgrados tenían una actitud positiva hacia la notificación de eventos adversos de dispositivos médicos (MDAE). Sin embargo, el 77,03% (56) de los posgrados tienen buenas prácticas hacia los MDAE. Conclusión: Entre los posgraduados, la actitud hacia la materialvigilancia fue óptima. Los posgraduados que participaron en este estudio tenían conocimientos y práctica adecuados de materialvigilancia. Se necesita una formación adecuada y una educación médica continua para mejorar los estándares actuales de conocimiento y práctica de la materialvigilancia. |
