摘要

背景:自我药疗的趋势有所上升,尤其是在医学生中,他们没有意识到其后果,特别是在COVID大流行期间,这引起了人们的严重关切。自我用药可能导致意想不到的后果,如不良事件、不必要的费用、参加专业评估的延误、掩盖症状和药物相互作用。目的和目的:本研究的目的是分析2019冠状病毒病疫情期间医学生自我药疗的流行情况、实践和模式。材料与方法:2022年10月,采用一份经过验证的预测问卷进行了一项基于横断面问卷的研究。有关人口统计细节、导致自我药疗的症状、使用的各种药物、药物信息来源、使用的药物/使用的药物群体以及在COVID-19期间自我药疗的原因等信息均以频率和百分比进行了描述。结果:在本研究中,80%的学生进行了自我药疗。发热和头痛是最常见的自我药物治疗症状。对乙酰氨基酚和阿奇霉素是最常用的自我药疗药物。44%的学生使用以前咨询的药物配方作为药物信息的来源,16%的学生使用互联网。大约85%的学生从药店获得药物。32%的学生自我用药是因为他们有COVID-19的症状,29%是作为预防措施。结论:新冠肺炎疫情期间医学生普遍采用自我药疗。有必要通过各种措施对医学生进行合理使用自我药疗的教育。

Self-medication practice among medical students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Background: The rise in trends of self-medication, particularly among medical students without being aware of its consequences, especially during the COVID pandemic, has raised a major concern. Self-medication may lead to unintended consequences, such as adverse events, unnecessary expenses, delay in attending professional evaluation, masking of symptoms, and drug interactions. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence, practice, and pattern of self-medication during the COVID-19 pandemic among medical students. Materials and Methods: In October 2022, a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted using a validated, pretested questionnaire. Information regarding the demographic details, symptoms that led to self-medication, various drugs used, source of drug information, drug used/drug groups used, and reasons for self-medication during COVID-19 were all described in terms of frequency and percentage. Results: In the present study, 80% of the students practiced self-medication. Fever and headache were the most common symptoms for which self-medication was taken. Paracetamol and azithromycin were the most common drugs used for self-medication. Forty-four percent of the students used medical formulas from the previous consultation as the source of drug information, and 16% from the Internet. About 85% of students obtained the drug from a pharmacy. Thirty-two percent of the students self-medicated because they had symptoms of COVID-19 and 29% as a preventive measure. Conclusion: Self-medication was widely practiced by medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to educate medical students through various measures about the rational use of self-medication.
