Automedicación en estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería

Abstract

Introduction: Self-medication is a common behavior in society and a frequent practice among university students. It is a severe health problem that affects the familiar, individual, and collective health.Objective: To determine the reasons that lead to self-medication in nursing students at the Santiago de Cali University, Colombia.Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 234 undergraduate nursing students. The study was carried out between April and May 2020. To calculate the sample, we applied the statistical formula with a confidence level of 95%, a margin of error of 5%, and a desired confidence interval of 5%. We used a virtual, validated questionnaire, which the students filled out voluntarily.Results: Ninety percent of the participating students were between 18–26 years old. The mean was 21.7, while the median was 20, and the mode was 19 years. A total of 81% were women. A total of 69% of the students stated that they self-medicate. Pain relievers are the drugs of choice for self-medication. Among the reasons for self-medication, it was found that: 44% of participants do not believe that it is necessary to consult a doctor, while 20% expressed not having the time to consult with a doctor. The participants obtain the medication in the pharmacy (95%).Conclusions: Self-medication is a common practice in nursing students between the first and fifth semesters of the Santiago de Cali University. Although it is recognized as a risky practice, the prevalence is high. Introducción: La automedicación es una conducta común en la sociedad y práctica frecuente en estudiantes universitarios. Es un problema severo de salud que tiene implicaciones en la salud familiar, individual y colectiva. Objetivo: Determinar las razones para la automedicación en estudiantes de enfermería de la Universidad Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal entre 234 estudiantes de pregrado de enfermería. El estudio fue realizado, entre abril y mayo de 2020. Para el cálculo de la muestra se aplicó la fórmula estadística con un nivel de confianza de 95% y margen de error de 5% e intervalo de confianza deseado de 5%. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado, diligenciado de forma virtual y desarrollado de forma voluntaria por los estudiantes. Resultados: El 90% de los estudiantes estaban comprendidos entre los 18- 26 años; media de 21,7, mediana de 20 y moda de 19 años. El 81% fueron mujeres. El 69% de los estudiantes manifestaron automedicarse. Los analgésicos son los medicamentos de elección para la automedicación. Entre las razones para automedicación se encontró que: el 44% no cree que sea necesario consultar al médico, el 20% no tiene tiempo para asistir al médico. La fuente para obtener el medicamento es la farmacia (95%). Conclusiones: La automedicación es una práctica común en los estudiantes de enfermería de primero a quinto semestre de la Universidad Santiago de Cali. Aunque se reconoce que es una práctica riesgosa, la prevalencia es alta.
