Amaç: Bu araştırma 0-12 yaş aralığında çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin akılcı ilaç kullanımı tutumlarını belirlemek ve ebeveynlerin akılcı ilaç kullanım tutumlarını etkileyen tanıtıcı özelliklerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma kesitsel-tanımlayıcı tipte olup, araştırma örneklemini İstanbul’ da bir devlet ilkokulunda eğitim görmekte olan çocukların ebeveynleri (n=719) oluşturdu. Araştırmanın verileri Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu ve Akılcı İlaç Kullanımına Yönelik Ebeveyn Tutum Ölçeği (AİKYETÖ) kullanılarak toplandı.
Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin AİKYETÖ puan ortalaması 174.96±17.77, doğru ve bilinçli ilaç kullanım puan ortalaması 132.36±14.35, etkili ve güvenli ilaç kullanım puan ortalaması 42.59±8.20 olarak bulundu. Ebeveynlerin uzun süre yaşadığı yer, aile tipleri, gelir durumları, eğitim durumları, çocuk sayıları, çocuklarının yaşları, çocuk cinsiyetleri, hastalık durumlarında başvurdukları yer ve reçetesiz ilaç kullanma durumları ile AİKYETÖ puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark olduğu bulundu (p<0.05). Ebeveynlerin en uzun süre yaşanılan yer, aile tipleri, gelir durumları, eğitim durumları, çocuk sayıları, çocuklarının yaşları, çocuk cinsiyetleri, hastalık durumlarında başvurdukları yer durumlarına göre doğru ve bilinçli ilaç kullanımı alt ölçeği puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu bulundu (p<0.05). Ebeveynlerin çocuk sayıları, hastalık durumlarında başvurdukları yer ve reçetesiz ilaç kullanma durumlarının etkili ve güvenli ilaç kullanımı alt ölçeği puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark olduğu bulundu (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin akılcı ilaç kullanımı tutum puanlarının yüksek olduğu söylenebilir. Ancak çocuk sayısı fazla olan, yenidoğan çocuğu olan, kız çocuğa sahip olan, reçetesiz ilaç kullanan, geliri az olan, geniş ailede yaşayan, en uzun yaşadığı yer ilçe ve köy olan ebeveynlerin AİKYETÖ puan ortalamaları düşük bulunduğundan, akılcı ilaç kullanımı konusunda planlanacak eğitim programlarında bu durumun dikkate alınması önerilir.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the rational drug use attitudes of parents with children aged 0-12 and to investigate a reader study that reveals the rational drug use attitudes of parents.
Material and Methods: This study is cross-sectional-descriptive type, and the research sample was formed by the parents (n = 719) of children attending a public primary school in Istanbul. The data of the study were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Parental Attitude Scale towards Rational Drug Use (AİKYETÖ).
Results: Parents’ mean score of AIKIETÖ was 174.96±17.77, correct and conscious drug use mean score was 132.36 ±14.35, effective and safe drug use mean score was 42.59±8.20. It was found that there was a significant difference between the place where parents lived for a long time, family types, income levels, educational status, number of children, ages of their children, gender of children, the place of application in case of illness, and the use of non-prescription drugs and AİKYETÖ score averages (p <0.05). It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the correct and conscious drug use subscale according to the place where the parents lived for the longest time, family types, income levels, education levels, number of children, ages of their children, gender of children, and the place they applied in case of illness (p < 0.05). It was found that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the effective and safe drug use subscale of the parents’ number of children, the place they applied in case of illness and the use of non-prescription drugs (p <0.05).
Conclusion: It can be said that the parents’ rational drug use attitude scores are high. However, since the AİKYETÖ score average of parents with a large number of children, a newborn child, a daughter, a non-prescription drug use, a low income, an extended family, and the longest place of residence in districts and villages is low, education programs to be planned on rational drug use consideration of the situation is recommended.
