BACKGROUND
This cross-sectional survey examined the pattern of self-medication and factors associated with this practice among medical and pharmacy students in context to Bangladesh.
METHODS
The study used a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 500; 250 medical and 250 pharmacy, students participated in the study. As it is a comparative analysis between the medical and pharmacy students, we used independent t test and Chi square test.
RESULTS
The findings indicated that the impact of self-medication is almost similar in medical and pharmacy students. It was found that medical students were more careful about getting advice from a physician or seeking professional help from some healthcare personnel. About the safety of self-medication pharmacy students were more aware than medical students were. The study also showed that female and younger medical or pharmacy students were more aware about self-medication.
CONCLUSIONS
The current study presents a comprehensive picture of self-medication in medical and pharmacy students in Bangladesh. It is clear from the findings that practice of self-medication is highly prevalent in medical and pharmacy students in the country. This may potentially increase misuse or irrational use of medicines.
背景
这项横断面调查研究了孟加拉国医科和药学专业学生的自我药疗模式及其相关因素。
方法
本研究采用自填式问卷。共有500名学生参与研究，其中250名医科学生和250名药学学生。由于是医科和药学学生之间的比较分析，我们使用了独立t检验和卡方检验。
结果
研究结果表明，自我药疗对医科和药学专业学生的影响几乎相似。结果发现，医科学生在向医生咨询或寻求医护人员专业帮助方面更为谨慎。在自我药疗的安全性方面，药学专业学生比医科学生更有认知。研究还表明，女性以及较年轻的医科或药学专业学生对自我药疗更为了解。
结论
本研究全面呈现了孟加拉国医科和药学专业学生的自我药疗情况。研究结果表明，自我药疗在该国医科和药学专业学生中非常普遍。这可能会增加药物滥用或不合理用药的情况。
