摘要
医学生越来越关注可能对健康产生重大影响的自我药疗(SM)。它会影响未来的医生如何对药物做出专业决定。这种心态会间接影响到为病人提供适当的咨询。本研究计划调查沙特阿拉伯吉达医科学生对牙痛 SM 的态度、决定因素和相关的不同临床方面。 本描述性横断面研究专门针对沙特阿拉伯吉达市各医学院的 400 名一年级医学生和攻读学士学位的实习生进行。研究采用了方便的非概率抽样技术,并在谷歌表格上加载了一份预先测试/预先验证的调查问卷,然后发送给医学、牙医学、药学和护理学专业的医学生。定性特征采用卡方检验进行评估。各种比较的显著性水平(P 值)为 P <0.05。 研究结果表明,65.5% 的学生会自行用药。女生(74.9%)、药剂师(76.9%)和牙科学生(72.7%)中自我药疗的比例明显更高。自行用药较少的学生是一年级和二年级的学生(49.2% 和 57.1%)。牙痛是他们自行用药最常见的原因(79.8%)。 本研究结果揭示了吉达医学生自我药疗率较高的事实。应向学生强调与自我药疗相关的潜在问题,以降低不当自我药疗的风险,因为这可能会严重伤害学生和他们开药的其他人。
Self-medication of Dental Pain amongst Medical Students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Determinants, Attitude and Clinical Aspects
Healthcare students are becoming increasingly concerned about self-medication (SM), which can have major health repercussions. It affects how future physicians make professional decisions about medications. Such a mindset has an indirect impact on providing their patients with appropriate counselling. The study was planned to investigate the attitude, determinants and different clinical aspects associated with SM of dental pain amongst medical students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted exclusively on the 400 medical students from the 1st year and interns pursuing bachelor’s degrees from various medical colleges in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A convenient non-probability sampling technique was employed, and a pre-tested/pre-validated questionnaire was loaded on Google Forms and sent to the medical students of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and nursing programmes. Qualitative characteristics were assessed using the Chi-square test. The significance level (P value) chosen for the various comparisons was P < 0.05.
The results of this study show that 65.5% of students self-medicate. It was significantly more common in women (74.9%), pharmacists (76.9%) and dental students (72.7%). Students who self-medicated less often were in the 1st and 2nd years (49.2% and 57.1%). Toothache was the most common cause for which they self-medicated (79.8%).
The results of the present study have shed light on the fact that SM was high amongst medical students in Jeddah. The potential problems associated with self-medication should be highlighted to students to reduce the risk of inappropriate SM, which can seriously harm both students and others to whom they prescribe medication.
