Background/aim: A considerable number of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) turn to self-medication using medicinal plants, preparations, and medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate self-medication using medicinal plants and the potential influence of health care professionals' advice or media information regarding the use of herbal dietary supplements with hypoglycemic effect in a population of patients with type 2 DM. Materials and methods:This research, in the form of an analytic cross-sectional study, was conducted in 6 pharmacies in the territory of Nis, Serbia, during October 2013. The criterion set for the study was to include patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who used pharmacotherapy in addition to herbal supplements.Results: Surveyed women showed a statistically significant difference in the frequency of using herbal supplements compared to men (P < 0.001). More frequent symptoms of hypoglycemia were reported in the group of diabetic respondents who used herbal dietary supplements (P < 0.05). The media was most responsible for influencing decisions about self-medication that included the use of herbal dietary supplements. Conclusion:The role of health professionals is indispensable and very important, especially when the media is a potential cause of seeking self-medication.

PurposeTo track the use of medicine and self-medication from infancy to adolescence.MethodsAll newborns in the city of Pelotas, Brazil, were monitored and enrolled in the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study. Subsamples of the cohort were visited at 1, 3, and 6 months and at 1 and 4 years of age. At 11 and 15 years of age, all cohort members were sought. In each of these visits, information on medicine use in the 15 days before the interview was collected. Two outcomes were analyzed: prevalence of medicine use and prevalence of self-medication.ResultsPrevalence of medicine use in the first year of life ranged from 52.0% to 68.6%. From 4 to 15 years of age, the prevalence decreased, ranging from 30.9% to 37.2%. At age 15, girls presented a 33% higher prevalence of medicine use than boys. The proportion of self-medication ranged from 12.4% to 29.0% and was higher in girls aged 11 and 15 years than boys of the same age. In all follow-up periods, use of medicines was significantly higher among children who used medicines in the earlier period. Prevalence of self-medication was higher among those who were self-medicated in the previous periods.ConclusionsTracking studies are important to public health because they can predict future behavior by analyzing past behavior, thus helping in designing preventive actions. In this study, previous use of medicines predicts future use, thus creating an opportunity to plan actions that promote the rational use of medicines.

“…Esses dois fatos ressaltam a falta de informação e/ou orientação nesta temática, motivo relatado pelos estudantes como uma das razões para que as pessoas façam uso de medicamentos sem a prescrição médica. (SILVA et al, 2011(SILVA et al, , p. 1657. O fato é que o ato de tomar um medicamento só porque este foi prescrito para um conhecido e funcionou, ou mesmo porque a propaganda diz que ele combate determinados sintomas é uma ação muito perigosa que pode levar a efeitos colaterais, muitas vezes com danos permanentes.…”

O tema “Ser humano e saúde” é um dos eixos centrais para a educação em ciências no ensino fundamental, determinado nos PCNs (1998). Contudo, no ensino deste tema, o professor encontra várias dificuldades uma vez que tem que lidar com muitos conceitos de difícil assimilação por parte dos alunos. O uso de recursos didáticos variados pode ser um auxílio para que o professor consiga trabalhar um pouco melhor este tema, além de tornar as aulas mais atrativas e dinâmicas. A proposta aqui é relatar a construção de um recurso pedagógico, chamado Guia do Educador a partir do filme Osmose Jones – uma aventura radical pelo corpo humano. Foram discriminadas atividades que o professor pode dispor em suas aulas diárias, como recursos complementares, tornando mais atraente o ensino e facilitando o estudo e conhecimento do corpo humano.
