RATIONAL DRUG USE STATUS OF STUDENTS AT A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Öz

Objective: Irrational drug use is a significant global and public health issue, including in Turkey Turk. This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of students toward rational drug use . Methods: The study population comprised of 1909 students enrolled in Bakırçay University's 2019-2020 academic year. The sample size of the study was 780 students selected through stratified random sampling from each faculty. Data were collected using the "Rational Drug Use Form," which included demographic characteristics, background, drug use attitudes and behaviors, and the Rational Drug Use Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the students, 74.4% were female, and 42.3% were male, with a mean age of 19.9. Of the students, 28.2% self-medicated before consulting a doctor when sick, and 57.6% used medication for headaches without consulting a doctor. Additionally, 73.6% of them primarily used over-the-counter painkillers. Based on the Rational Drug Use Scale score of ≥35, which is considered the cut-off point in the literature, 491 students (73.3%) knew about rational drug use Conclusion: The students' knowledge of rational drug use was found to be above the average. However, campus courses and projects must be organized, and medical units should be supported, despite students' awareness of rational drug use
