The purpose of this study was to 1) examine nursing staff knowledge, attitude, and practise, as well as to evaluate the impact of educational intervention. 2) a. To address concerns about ADR reporting, such as nervousness, legal obstacles, and a lack of confidence, among other things. c. To improve ADR reporting by training nursing personnel on how to report ADRs and how to fill out the ADR reporting form. Material and Methods: Before and after an educational intervention in a tertiary care hospital, nursing staff were given a questionnaire regarding knowledge, attitude, and practise (KAP). The collected data was statistically analysed. As a result of the training delivered in numerous sessions, KAP among nursing workers has improved. In comparison to the pre-training session, they properly recognised who can report ADR 96% of the time (69 percent ). After training, 71 percent responded yes to pharmacovigilance as a means of ensuring the safe use of drugs, compared to 54 percent before. 94 percent of nursing personnel correctly identified the scale to be used for causality assessment in PvPI questions, compared to 79 percent before training. After training, the majority of them agreed that all ADRs should be reported, not only those that are unknown or harmful. In questio, there has been a substantial improvement. Conclusion: As a result of the educational intervention, KAP among nursing workers has greatly improved.
