摘要

背景:非处方药(OTC)的自我药疗是世界各地的做法。虽然适当的自我药疗做法可以解决小病,而且时间和成本效益高,但它可能促进不合理用药;延长疾病,药物依赖和滥用。医学生是未来的医学从业者,在患者的心理咨询中起着至关重要的作用。为此,本研究旨在了解大学生自我药疗的知识、态度及行为。方法:获得Gandaki医学院教学医院与研究中心(GMCTHRC)机构伦理委员会的伦理批准后,于2018年5月至7月进行基于机构的描述性横断面研究。对数据进行描述性和相关性分析。结果以百分数表示。结果:115名被调查者中,女生占60.9%(70人),男生占39.1%(45人)。大多数受访者(94.8%)认为应遵循药品标签上的说明,78.3%的受访者认为非处方药可能与其他处方药发生相互作用。然而,只有53.9%的受访者知道尼泊尔的OTC药品属于Ga类药品。尽管对非处方药的认识和态度良好,但仅有37.4%的学生在合理使用非处方药方面有良好的实践。此外,解热镇痛药物是最常用的药物。但仅有36.84% (p<0.05)的被调查者知道正确的服药剂量和服药时间。结论:我们的结论是,一年级的医学和牙科应该积极运用他们的知识到实践中。

Knowledge, attitude and practice of over-the-counter drug among undergraduate medical students-a cross sectional study
Background: Self-medication of the over-the-counter (OTC) drug is practice all over the world. Although appropriate self-medication practice can address minor illness and is time and cost-effective, it can promote irrational use of medicine; prolong the illness, drug dependency and abuse. Medical students are the future medical practitioners and play the crucial role in counseling the patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of self- medication among undergraduate students. Methods: An institution based descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted after ethical approval was taken from the Institutional ethical committee of Gandaki medical college teaching hospital and research center (GMCTHRC) and data was collected from May to July 2018. Descriptive and correlation analysis were done with the data. The results were expressed in percentages. Results: Among 115 respondents, 60.9 % (70) were female and 39.1% (45) were male students. Majority of respondents (94.8%) believed that instruction on the label of the drugs should be followed and 78.3% respondents agreed that OTC drugs could interact with other prescribed drugs. However, only 53.9% respondents knew that OTC drugs were Group Ga drugs in Nepal. Despite good knowledge and attitude only 37.4% students had good practice in the rational use of the OTC drugs. Moreover, Antipyretic and analgesic drugs were the most commonly used drugs. However, only 36.84% respondents (p<0.05) knew about the correct dose and duration to take the drugs. Conclusions: We concluded that first year medical and dental should be motivated to use their knowledge into practice.
