In this regard, there is a need for special attention to self-medication in parents especially those taking care of children. Therefore, the present research aimed to investigate the prevalence of self-medication in the parents of 1-8 year old children reffered to Shahid Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas. Methods : The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 200 parents of 1-8 year old children reffered to Shahid Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas. Participants were selected using simple randomized sampling method. Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that its validity and reliability were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results : The results showed that 64% of parents had committed self-medication to their child. The most important causes of self-medication were easy drug supply from pharmacies with no prescription (71.5%), availability of medications at home or by relatives(65.5%), and previous experience of the disease (5305%). The most prevalent drugs taken were cold pills (99.5%), sedatives (97.5%), and antibiotics (52.5%). Statistically significant correlations were found between the prevalence of self-medication and Parents’ education (p-value<0.001), insurance type (p-value=0.013), and the number of children (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: Since in the present research a high percentage of parents had tried self-medications for their children, it is essential to conduct educational programes to teach them the logical consumption of drugs and make them aware of the adverse effects of drugs.","PeriodicalId":92082,"journal":{"name":"Journal of preventive medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43846173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proper caring behavior will be enhanced through self-efficacy and interventions can increase self-efficacy and subsequently caring behavior will change. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and caring behavior of mothers of children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods : This Cross-Sectional study was of correlational type. Statistical population consisted of all mothers (86 subjects) of children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Bandar Abbas children hospital in 2017. Data were collected by a researcher-made self caring and general self-efficacy questionnaires which were completed by mothers and finally analyzed by SPSS software using Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and ANOVA tests. Results : According to the results, 57% of mothers were in good condition regarding self-efficacy and caring behavior. There was a significant relationship between maternal caring behavior with age (P-value = 0.03), maternal education (P-value = 0.02), and number of chemotherapy sessions (P-value = 0.005). There was a positive and significant correlation between self-efficacy and caring behavior of mothers (P-value <0.001).
