Antibiotic resistance, the important public health threat, depends on antibiotic overuse/misuse. Self-medication with antibiotics is of serious medical concern. The aim of the study, as a part of SAR project (Self-medication with antibiotic in Europe) was to survey the incidence of this phenomenon.
In Poland among 938 respondents of the questionnaire 27% adults were treated with antibiotics at least once a year, 13% of the therapies were undertaken without medical consultation. The most frequently prescribed antibiotic was amoxicillin, the most often self-ordered--fusafungine.
The main self-medicated symptoms were sore throat and common cold. The duration of self-ordered therapy was less then 5 days. The sources of antibiotics used for self-medication were leftovers and those given by friends or family.
The results of the study confirmed that antibiotic self-medication is relatively frequent problem in Poland and interventions are required in order to reduce the frequency of antibiotics misuse.
抗生素耐药性是重要的公共卫生威胁，这取决于抗生素的过度使用/滥用。自行使用抗生素是严重的医学问题。作为SAR项目（欧洲抗生素自我用药）的一部分，本研究的目的是调查这一现象的发生率。
在波兰，938名问卷受访者中，27%的成年人每年至少接受一次抗生素治疗，13%的治疗是在没有医疗咨询的情况下进行的。最常开具的抗生素是阿莫西林，最常自行使用的是夫西地酸。
自行用药的主要症状是喉咙痛和普通感冒。自行用药治疗的持续时间少于5天。用于自我用药的抗生素来源是剩余药物以及朋友或家人提供的药物。
研究结果证实，在波兰，抗生素自我用药是一个相对常见的问题，需要采取干预措施以减少抗生素滥用的频率。
