摘要

家庭中药品的存在是不合理用药的一个风险因素;这可能会使患者面临不良反应和治疗失败。这项研究确定了家庭中常见的慢性疾病、药物的储存和获得药物的来源、药物使用知识以及处理剩余和过期药物的方法。进行了一项描述性横断面家庭调查。根据世卫组织手册所载的方法使用了问卷。收集了储存范围、药品来源及其现状等数据,并将其输入到Excel中。在接受调查的126名参与者中,58人(46.03%)接受过高等教育,40人(31.75%)有家庭成员在卫生部门工作。只有38户(30.16%)家庭至少有一人患有慢性疾病,25户(65.79%)患有高血压,73户(57.94%)的研究参与者有时有剩余药物。其中,补品48种(13.48%),医生处方药品215种(61.08%),药店购买药品156种(42.05%),篮/推车储存药品151种(42.90%),储存条件良好的药品344种(97.72%),有效(目前)有效期药品332种(94.32%),有效期不正确的药品289种(82.10%)。在这项调查中,高血压、糖尿病和关节炎是最常见的慢性疾病。大部分药物从社区药房购买,药物的储存和处置方法分别为篮子/推车和垃圾桶/扔掉。然而,这些被发现的药物状况良好,但标签很差,参与者对药物的使用时间知之甚少。关键词:家庭;不合理治疗;剩余药品/s

Evaluation of household medication use at Uselu area Edo State, Nigeria
The presence of medicines in the households is a risk factor for irrational drug use; which may expose patients to adverse effects and treatment failures. This study determined common chronic disease/s in the households, storage of medications and sources through which households obtained medications, knowledge of medication use and methods of handling their left-over and expired medicines. A descriptive, cross-sectional household survey was conducted. Questionnaires were used based on the methods contained in the WHO manual. Data on the extent of storage, sources of medicines and their current status among others were collected and were entered in to Excel. Of the 126 participants surveyed, 58 (46.03%) attained a tertiary education, 40 (31.75%) had member/s of the family working in a health sector. Only 38 (30.16%) of households had at least one person suffering from chronic disease/s, 25 (65.79%) were hypertensive, 73 (57.94%) of the study participants sometimes had left-over medication/s. forty eight (13.48%) of the medications were supplements, 215(61.08%) of the medicines were prescribed by a doctor, 156 (42.05%) of them were purchased from a pharmacy, 151(42.90%) of drugs were stored in a basket/carts, 344 (97.72%) of drugs were in good storage conditions, 332 (94.32%) had valid (present) expiration dates and 289 (82.10%) of the drugs did not have  correct duration. In this survey, hypertension, diabetes and arthritis were the most common chronic disease conditions. Most of the medicines were purchased from community pharmacies, methods of storage and disposal of medications were in basket/carts and in trash bins/ thrown away respectively. However, these medicines found were in good conditions, though, poorly labeled and participants had poor knowledge on how long to use their medications. Keywords: Household, irrational treatment, left-over medication/s, storage
