Abstract

A variety of supplement-drug interactions has been identified, and therefore health scientists should be aware of the proper usage of nutritional supplements. The main aim of this study was to assess beliefs and knowledge related to nutritional supplements among pharmacy students. A cross-sectional study was conducted in order to assess beliefs and knowledge related to nutritional supplements among pharmacy students. A literature review on nutritional supplements was conducted in order to develop a 24-item questionnaire, and expert indications established its face and content validity. Τhe sample was comprised of 142 pharmacy students in Cyprus, whose results are presented. The majority of the participants was receiving nutritional supplements (66.9%) and believed that nutritional supplements may interact and may have toxic effects. Those in the higher years of study scored higher in knowledge than those in the lower ones. The mean scores (mean ± SD) on the knowledge about nutritional supplements by the years of study were 9.14 ± 2.67, 8.71 ± 2.92, 9.91 ± 2.08, 11.16 ± 3.00, and 15.76 ± 2.67 and compared using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The study showed that pharmacy students are adequately informed about nutritional supplements and that this subject is essential for the curriculum of pharmaceutical studies.

药学专业学生对营养补充品的认知与信念。

各种补充剂与药物的相互作用已经被确定，因此健康科学家应该意识到营养补充剂的正确使用。本研究的主要目的是评估药剂学学生对营养补充品的认知与信念。本研究采用横断面研究的方法，评估药剂学学生对营养补充品的认知与信念。通过对营养补充剂的文献综述，编制了一份24项问卷，并通过专家适应症确定了问卷的外观和内容效度。Τ该样本由142名塞浦路斯药学学生组成，其结果如下所示。大多数参与者接受营养补充剂(66.9%)，并认为营养补充剂可能相互作用，可能有毒性作用。高年级学生在知识方面的得分高于低年级学生。各学习年限对营养补充剂知识的平均得分(mean±SD)分别为9.14±2.67、8.71±2.92、9.91±2.08、11.16±3.00、15.76±2.67，采用单因素方差分析并进行Bonferroni校正。统计学意义设为p <0.05. 研究表明，药学专业的学生对营养补充剂有充分的了解，这一主题对药学研究课程至关重要。
