FINDINGS: All participants in this study were nurses and 67 (70%) were at bachelor level. The majority of nurses knew little about the adverse drug reaction (ARD) and also pharmaceutical care unit. Medical books and doctors were known to be the only sources of information and consultation (66%). All nurses were trained by affective learning materials about drug information and the importance of pharmaceutical care unit in hospital. At the end of education, the results showed that all nurses believed consultation with the clinical pharmacist and hospital pharmaceutical care unit were best sources for getting drug information.
