摘要
目的:自我药疗(SM)在印度很常见。由于医学生将来会成为执业医师,因此自我药疗对他们来说意义重大。本研究旨在评估 2019 年一所高等医学院校医学学士专业二年级学生的自我药疗实践模式、认知和态度:本研究是一项基于问卷调查的横断面研究。研究对象为印度西孟加拉邦一所高等医学院校医学本科二年级(MBBS)学生:在所接触的 199 名学生中,有 198 名学生同意参加研究并填写了提供的研究问卷。13 份不完整的问卷被排除在外,其余 185 份问卷进行了分析。结果发现,81.6%(151/185)的受访者有 SM 的习惯。寻求 SM 的最常见疾病是发烧 66.2%(100/151),其次是咳嗽、感冒和喉咙痛 55.0%(84/151),腹泻/恶心和呕吐 40.4%(61/151)。最常见的 SM 药物是扑热息痛 73.51%(111/151),其次是 H1 抗组胺药和质子泵抑制剂。还有一小部分学生使用类固醇外用制剂、镇痛药、抗生素和抗真菌药。在寻求 SM 的常见原因中,72.2%(109/151)的学生认为他们的病情较轻,57%(86/151)的学生认为他们以前有过经验,因此更倾向于 SM:我们的研究表明,该院校的学生普遍采用 SM。因此,医学教师需要更加努力,让学生充分认识到 SM 的内在风险。
A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY ON SELF-MEDICATION PRACTICES, PERCEPTION, AND ATTITUDES OF UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL STUDENTS AT A GOVERNMENT TERTIARY CARE TEACHING HOSPITAL IN EASTERN INDIA
Objectives: Self-medication (SM) is common in India. It is of greater significance when practiced by medical students as they going to be medical practitioners in the future. This study was conducted to assess the pattern of SM practices, perceptions, and attitudes among students pursuing 2nd-year professional MBBS in a tertiary medical college in the year 2019.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional one based on a questionnaire. It was conducted among the 2nd-year undergraduate (MBBS) medical students in a tertiary care medical college in West Bengal, India.
Results: Out of 199 students approached, 198 consented to the study and filled in the supplied study questionnaire. Thirteen incomplete questionnaires were excluded and the remaining 185 were analyzed. It was found that 81.6% (151/185) respondents practiced SM. The most common ailments for seeking SM were fever 66.2% (100/151), followed by cough cold, and sore throat 55.0% (84/151), diarrhea/nausea, and vomiting 40.4% (61/151). The most common drug used for SM was paracetamol 73.51% (111/151), followed by H1 antihistaminics and proton pump inhibitors. A small percentage of students used topical preparations of steroids, analgesics, antibiotics, and antifungals as well. Among the common reasons for seeking SM, 72.2% (109/151) felt that their illness was mild and 57% (86/151) preferred it as they had prior experience.
Conclusion: Our study showed that SM is commonly practiced among the students of this institution. Therefore, medical teachers need to try even more to generate adequate awareness among the students about inherent risks of SM.
