Objective: This research aimed to determine the investigation of rational drug use and the health perception level of caregivers for individuals with chronic diseases.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the public hospital in Şırnak city centre between December 2022 and February 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 242 caregivers. The research data were gathered from the socio-demographic characteristics form, the rational drug use scale, and the health perception scale. In addition to descriptive analysis, independent t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis were used in statistical analysis.
Results: The average age of caregivers is 39.25±12.45, the average age of patients requiring care is 64.73±12.50, and the patient care duration is 3.39±2.03 years. Rational Drug Use Scale mean score was 37.29±5.62, Health Perception Scale mean score was 40.14±7.93, and there was a positive significant correlation between the Rational Drug Use and Health Perception mean scores (p<0.01). Their socio-demographic characteristics significantly affect caregivers' rational drug use and health perception (p<0.05).
Conclusions: It was determined that caregivers had a moderate level of rational drug use and health perception. As a result, caregivers are an essential component of healthcare services, and health education should be provided.
