摘要

背景:抗组胺药如苹果酸氯苯那敏、曲普利定和伪麻黄碱可引起镇静,作为治疗失眠症的一线药物。沙特阿拉伯的一些母亲报告说,在没有处方的情况下,她们给孩子使用这些药物来诱导和调节睡眠。这种不必要和危险的做法会导致严重的副作用。目的:本研究旨在了解沙特阿拉伯儿童镇静药物的使用情况,并评估母亲对这些药物影响严重性的认识。这项研究还旨在提供天然替代品。材料和方法:采用结构化在线问卷进行横断面研究。进行这项调查是为了确定母亲们对这一问题的看法,以及她们使用药物的原因,以及最广泛使用的药物、剂量和副作用。从母亲那里收集了50份回复,并使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)软件进行评估。结果:大多数参与者使用镇静药物来保持孩子的平静和深度睡眠,对其严重的副作用一无所知和缺乏意识。我们强烈鼓励利用小册子和包括信息在内的其他平台开展提高认识运动。结论:母亲,主要是职业妇女,倾向于在没有治疗指征的情况下给孩子使用催眠药物。需要通过使用传统和电子格式的宣传运动来制止这种做法。

The phenomenon of giving hypnotic medications to children without a therapeutic purpose
Background: The antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine malate, triprolidine, and pseudoephedrine cause sedation and are prescribed for insomnia as a first-line drug. Some mothers in Saudi Arabia reported using these medications for their children to induce and regulate sleep without prescription. This unnecessary and dangerous practice can cause serious side effects. Objective: The research aimed to discover the prevalence of sedative medication use among children in Saudi Arabia and evaluation of the mother's awareness of the seriousness of these medications' effects. This research also aimed to provide natural alternatives. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study has been conducted using a structured online questionnaire. The survey has been performed to identify the views of mothers on the subject and the reasons for their use of medicines and the most widely used drugs, dosage, and side effects. Fifty responses were collected from mothers and evaluated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: Most participants use sedative drugs to keep their children calm and in a deep sleep with ignorance and a lack of awareness of their serious side effects. We strongly encourage the initiation of awareness campaigns using pamphlets and other platforms including messages. Conclusion: Mothers, mainly working women, tend to use hypnotic medication for their children without a therapeutic indication. This practice needs to be stopped by awareness campaigns using both traditional and electronic formats.
