目的:自我药疗实践作为疼痛管理的主要自我护理形式在全球范围内被广泛采用。不幸的是,随着COVID-19大流行,现在,仅处方药越来越多地自行开处方。因此,目前的研究是,进行了使用非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)和对乙酰氨基酚的镇痛药自我治疗实践的数据,以及法拉桑大学校园护理专业学生的抗生素。
方法:在2019年12月至2020年2月期间,对177名研究参与者(20±3年)进行了横断面描述性研究。数据分析使用origin软件(6.1,伊利诺伊州,美国)。在P<0.05时考虑显著性。研究是在护理部进行的,Farasan省大学学院,隶属于Jazan大学的Farasan岛首屈一指的教育学院,KSA
结果:护生的自我药疗实践较高(n=154名参与者,87%)。对乙酰氨基酚是在没有处方的情况下用于镇痛目的的最高药物(n=101名参与者,57%)。在NSAIDs中,布洛芬最优选用于各种镇痛目的(n=35名参与者,20%),其次是双氯芬酸(n=9名参与者,5%)和美洛昔康(n=5名参与者,3%)。Azithromycine是参与者使用的唯一抗生素(n=4参与者,2%)。自我药物治疗的最常见原因是头痛(45%),月经疼痛(23%)和发烧(14%)。自我用药的主要原因是没有时间咨询医生(68%)。此外,自我用药与研究年显著相关(P<0.003).
结论:结果引起了对未来护理人员总体幸福感的关注。需要实施教育行动和提高认识方案,以限制这个美丽岛屿受过教育的青年的自我药疗做法。
OBJECTIVE: Self-medication practices are widely practiced globally as major form of self-care for pain management. Unfortunately, with COVID-19 pandemic, prescription only drugs are now increasingly being self-prescribed. Present study was therefore, conducted to generate data on self-medication practice with analgesics using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, and the antibiotics among nursing students of University College Farasan Campus.
METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 177 study participants (20±3 years) between December 2019 to February 2020 using questionnaire. Data analyses were done using origin software (6.1, Illinois, USA). Significance was considered at P<0.05. Study was conducted in Department of Nursing, University College Farasan Province, a premier educational institute of Farasan Island affiliated to Jazan university, KSA.
RESULTS: Self-medication practices were high among nursing students (n=154 participants, 87%). Acetaminophen was highest used drug for analgesic purposes without prescriptions (n=101 participants, 57%). Among NSAIDs, Ibuprofen was most preferred for various analgesic purposes (n=35 participants, 20%) followed by diclofenac (n=9 participants, 5%) and meloxicam (n=5 participants, 3%). Azithromycine was the only antibiotic used by participants (n=4 participant, 2%). Most common causes of self-medication were headache (45%), menstrual pain (23%) and fever (14%). Main reason for self-medications was lack of time to consult doctor (68%). Furthermore, self-medication was significantly associated with study year (P<0.003).
CONCLUSIONS: Results give rise to concern for general well-being of future nursing workforce. There is need to implement educational actions and awareness programmes to limit self-medication practices among educated youth of this beautiful Island.
