“…Moreover, this study confirms the findings of other authors about the use of NSAIDS among students (5,9) for pain relief purposes (3,6) . These medicines represent a practical and fast way to relieve complaints such as pain, menstrual cramps, and characteristically female symptoms, possibly leading to self-medication (3) .…”

“…Moreover, self-medication with this group of drugs is usually absolutely inadequate, especially when indicated by laypersons or reusing old prescriptions, increasing the risk of adverse reactions (16) . The students of this study reported the use of multivitamins, as also found among students in Recife (6) . Easy access, advertising associated with the miraculous benefits of these products, especially among young people, and the promise of aesthetic benefits, as well as curiosity and the desire to find immediate relief for symptoms, can contribute to the irrational use of this medicine (6) .…”

“…The motives for self-medication include prior experience with the symptom or disease, the belief that one has knowledge of the disease, limited financial resources to appropriate treat a health problem, lack of time to seek medical assistance, and personal attitude regarding the disease. The common factors associated with self-medication are women, higher age group, physically active, alcohol consumption, and people with health insurance (4)(5)(6)(7) . Given the epidemiological magnitude and negative impact of this practice, self-medication among students in the area of healthcare is considered an important public health problem.…”

“…Studies show that prevalence rates range from 38.0% to 97.8%, depending on the students' country of origin, graduation course, or the reminiscent period of self-medication (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . In Brazil, although previous studies conducted in large urban centres found that self-medication among nurses is frequent (2,8,10) , the magnitude of the phenomenon is unknown in the North region.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Determinar a prevalência e os fatores associados à automedicação entre estudantes de enfermagem. Método Estudo transversal realizado com 116 estudantes de enfermagem de uma universidade pública do Estado do Amazonas – Brasil, no período de março a abril de 2014. Utilizou-se questionário constituído por variáveis socioeconômicas e de consumo de medicamentos. Foi realizada a análise bivariada e a regressão logística – nível de significância de 5%. Resultados A prevalência de automedicação foi de 76,0%, motivada especialmente pela percepção de que o problema de saúde não requeria visita ao médico (46,6%). Metade dos estudantes relataram queixas álgicas. Os grupos farmacológicos mais consumidos foram anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (63,2%) e antibióticos (11,1%). O desconhecimento das implicações negativas da prática da automedicação foi associado à automedicação (OR=6,0). Conclusão A alta prevalência de automedicação, além de poder levar a reações adversas retrata também o uso irracional de medicamentos pelos estudantes, especialmente, quando considerado o papel destes futuros profissionais na segurança do paciente.

The study investigated the prevalence of legal and/or illegal drugs among students enrolled in Health Sciences Courses (HSC) at a university located in the Quixadá municipality, State of Ceará. The study was conducted through a questionnaire administered to 345 HSC students. The resulting profile was of single white females, ages 16-20 years old, unemployed, with a household income of 2-4 minimum wage salaries. The vast majority does not use any legal or illegal drugs. However, 39 and 16% use alcohol and cocaine, especially for the high, and mainly because of peer pressure during social events. The majority of the students self-medicate. The study suggests that alcohol and drug use within this population is alarming and that new surveys need to be conducted. Universidades. Perfil de la utilización de drogas lícitas e ilícitas Por universitarios de una institución PrivadaEl trabajo investigó la superioridad del uso de drogas lícitas y/o ilícitas entre los universitarios de los Cursos de Ciencias de la Salud (CCS) de una institución de enseñanza superiora del municipio de Quixadá, Ceará. El estudio fue realizado por medio de un cuestionario aplicado entre 345 universitarios del CCS en cuestión. El perfil de los universitarios estudiados es de mujeres con banda etaria de 16 a 20 años, solteras, blancas, que no ejercen actividad remunerada con renta familiar de 2 a 4 salarios mínimos. La grande mayoría no hace uso de ninguna droga lícita o ilícita. Mientras, 39 y 16% hace uso del alcohol y de la cocaína, respectivamente, debido en especial a la sensación de alegría, y principalmente por la influencia de los amigos en eventos sociales. La mayoría de los universitarios practica automedicación. El estudio realizado sugiere que el problema de uso de drogas y alcohol en esa población es preocupante y nuevos levantamientos necesitan ser realizados.

Health care professionals are known to have a high risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. However, the information on the risk of new-onset spine-related musculoskeletal disorders (SRMDs) in health care professionals is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate new-onset spine disorder associations among physical, occupational, and pharmacy health care professionals working in different workplaces.Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database for registered medical personnel claims from 2000 to 2011 was analyzed. An age- and sex-matched longitudinal cohort study of 7448 subjects (1682 physiotherapists, 1682 occupational therapists [OTs], and 3724 pharmacists) with or without new-onset spine disorders was conducted. The hazard ratios for the development of new-onset spine disorders were estimated among these 3 groups.The overall percentage of new-onset SRMD for physiotherapists is 32.12. The median time from obtaining a registered license to developing SRMD is 1.94 years. The log-rank test showed that physiotherapists have the least possibility of having a SRMD-free rate (P < 0.0001). The Cox model showed that physiotherapists have a higher risk of new-onset SRMD (hazard ratio: 1.65, 95% confidence interval: 1.48–1.84, P < 0.0001) compared with OTs and pharmacists. Physiotherapists working in clinics have a 2.40-fold increased risk of developing SRMD (95% confidence interval: 1.97–2.92, P < 0.0001) relative to OTs and pharmacists.This may be the first study regarding new-onset SRMD in physiotherapists based on a powerful nationwide population-based database. We conclude that working in clinics is a potential risk for new-onset SRMD in physiotherapists. Therefore, we suggest that physiotherapists should pay more attention to this issue to prevent the development of spine disorders.
