This study was aimed at investigating the impact of an educational intervention to improve ADR reporting and whethertrained nurses had better knowledge، attitude، and practice toward ADR reporting. Materials And Methods
A total of 300 nurses in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Tehran، Iran were evaluated with a knowledge،attitude، and practice (KAP) questionnaire regarding ADR reporting in March 2010. After this، an educational program about ADRwas provided to nurses. Then the nurses were re-evaluated by the same questionnaire. Comparisons were made of the attitudeand knowledge within nurses، before and after education. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. P < 0. 05 was consideredas signifi cant level. Independent-sample t-test was used to measure the intervention effect. Results
The response rate was 61. 3% (N = 184). Knowledge of nurses before the intervention was signifi cantly less than theknowledge after the intervention (P = 0. 001). Also، there was a signifi cant effect on attitude (P = 0. 002). During the follow-upperiod of 4 months after the intervention، 26 spontaneous reports were received. Conclusion
