Abstract

Aims Self-medication is an essential component of self-care; however, its use has significantly increased. Its practice has many risks such as wrong diagnosis, adverse drug reactions, antimicrobial resistance, etc. Being future doctors, self-medication has a special impact on MBBS students. Henceforth, the present study was undertaken to sensitize MBBS students in a medical college in Bihar and to analyze its role in different aspects of self-medication. Methods and material This was a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study. The questionnaire was circulated to MBBS students of all the phases. After collecting the responses, scoring and grading was done and then a sensitization and awareness program was conducted through different modes and medium. After three months the same questionnaire was distributed, and their response was again collected. Statistical analysis used With an expected 40% prevalence, the minimum sample size needed to attain a power of 95% and an alpha value of 0.05 was calculated to be 201. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16 was used for data analysis. The chi-square test was used to see the association in responses obtained, before and after sensitization. A P-value with ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The questionnaires were circulated among 439 students. On comparing the grades, we found that phase III students comparatively had better knowledge regarding different aspects of self-medication. On analyzing different aspects of self-medication, we found that there was a significant improvement in many aspects post-sensitization. Conclusions MBBS students are future doctors, hence they should be more educated about the pros and cons of self-medication. This study showed that the perception of participants improved after our educational activities. We hope that after becoming aware, these young budding doctors will spread awareness, which, in turn, will benefit society. Additionally, we hope that this study will have an impact on students from different medical colleges and even healthcare providers, promoting responsible self-medication practices when necessary.

摘要

目的 自我药疗是自我保健的重要组成部分;然而,其使用显著增加。自我药疗的行为存在许多风险,如误诊、药物不良反应、抗菌药物耐药性等。作为未来的医生,自我药疗对医学学士(MBBS)学生有特殊影响。因此,本研究旨在提高比哈尔邦一所医学院校MBBS学生对自我药疗的认识,并分析其在自我药疗不同方面所起的作用。

方法与材料 这是一项基于问卷调查的横断面研究。问卷分发给了各个阶段的MBBS学生。收集回复后,进行评分和分级,然后通过不同方式和媒介开展了提高认识和宣传活动。三个月后再次发放相同问卷,并再次收集他们的回复。

统计分析 预期患病率为40%,计算得出要达到95%的检验效能和0.05的α值所需的最小样本量为201。使用社会科学统计软件包第16版进行数据分析。采用卡方检验来观察在提高认识前后所获得回复之间的关联。P值≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。

结果 共向439名学生发放了问卷。比较成绩时,我们发现三年级学生在自我药疗不同方面相对具有更好的知识。分析自我药疗的不同方面时,我们发现提高认识后在许多方面有显著改善。

结论 MBBS学生是未来的医生,因此他们应该更多地了解自我药疗的利弊。本研究表明,我们的教育活动后参与者的认知有所改善。我们希望这些初露头角的年轻医生在意识到这一点后能传播相关意识,这反过来将造福社会。此外,我们希望本研究将对不同医学院校的学生甚至医疗服务提供者产生影响,在必要时促进负责任的自我药疗行为。
