Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Prospektüs Kullanma Bilinci ve Davranışlarının Araştırılması

Abstract

Prospektüsler, reçeteli veya reçetesiz ilaçlar hakkında hastaya gerekli bilgileri sağlayan ve günümüzde kısmen internet üzerinden erişilebilir olsa da halen çoğunlukla ilaç kutuları içinde basılı halde sağlanan belgelerdir. Akılcı ilaç kullanımı kavramının ön plana çıktığı son zamanlarda, ilaçların içeriği, kullanım şekli, dikkat edilmesi gereken bilgi ve talimatlar gibi hastayı/hasta yakınını yönlendirici bilgiler içeren bu belgeleri kullanma alışkanlıkları genç bir hedef kitle üzerinde araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla yürütülen çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin belirli bir ilaçla ilgili bilgileri nasıl ve ne zaman alacağı konusundaki tutumu değerlendirilmiştir. Veri toplamak için bir anket formu tasarlanarak 1., 2. ve 3. sınıf lisans öğrencilerinin 20 soruya cevap vermeleri istenmiştir. Doksan katılımcının verdikleri cevaplar temel alınarak istatistiksel analiz yapılmıştır.

Investigation of University Students' Behavior in Using Medicine Leaflets

Abstract

Medicine leaflets are documents that are mostly provided in printed form in medicine boxes. They provide necessary information to the patient about prescription or non-prescription medicines and these documents are currently accessible partially on the internet. Since the increasing importance of rational medicine use, the habit of using medicine leaflets, that provide information about the contents of medicines, the way they are used, the information and instructions to be noticed etc. for the patient / patient's relatives, have been investigated on a young target group. In this study which were conducted for this purpose, the attitude of university students about how and when to take information about a certain drug was evaluated. A questionnaire form was designed to collect data, and first, second and third year undergraduate students were asked to answer 20 questions. Statistical analysis was carried out on the basis of the answers given by ninety participants.
