Resumo: | Objectives: To determine the factors associated with self-medication with drugs related to COVID-19 in health sciences students. Materials and methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study in students of the health sciences of Tacna-Peru. Through a virtual survey, socio-educational variables, practices, self-medication characteristics and exposure to COVID-19 were recognized. The result was self-medication in the last 3 months with at least 1 in 14 drugs. The prevalence ratios were calculated using generalized linear models. Results: Of the 718 students, 51.3% live on self-medication. 62.2% self-medicated because they presented the highest number of respiratory symptoms and the drugs used more antipyretics, analgesics and corticosteroids. Students with a sentimental partner (PR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.16-1.53), from a private university (PR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.10- 1.69), that the priests in his family have a picnic a few times (PR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.58-3.47) and in which a program sized for COVID-19 (PR : 1.47, 95% CI: 1.14-1.89). Conclusion: We found a high prevalence of self-medication. Most of them have self-medication that has a sentimental partner, from a private university, that their priests or relatives are on selfpicnic and that they have a size problem due to COVID-19, which they could use to promote the rational use of medications. |

Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, analítico transversal, en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud de Tacna-Perú. Mediante un cuestionario virtual se recolectaron variables socioeducativas, prácticas, características de automedicación y exposición a COVID-19. El resultado fue automático en los últimos 3 meses con al menos 1 de 14 fármacos. Se calcularon las razones de prevalencia mediante los modelos lineales generalizados. Resultados:De los 718 estudiantes, el 51,3% se había automedicado. 62,2% se automedicó por presentar dos o más síntomas respiratorios siendo los fármacos más utilizados los antipiréticos, analgésicos y corticoides. Tuvieron mayor frecuencia de automedicación los estudiantes con pareja sentimental (RP: 1,33; IC95%: 1,16-1,53), de una universidad particular (RP: 1,36; IC95%: 1,10-1,69 ), que sus padres o familiares se automediquen algunas veces o siempre (RP: 2,34; IC95%: 1,58–3,47) y en los que se realizaron una prueba de tamizaje para COVID-19 (RP: 1, 47; IC95%: 1,14-1,89). Conclusiones:Encontramos una alta prevalencia de automedicación. Tuvieron mayor frecuencia de automedicación quienes tenían una pareja sentimental, proceden de una universidad particular, que sus padres o familiares se automediquen y en quienes se realizaron una prueba de tamizaje para COVID-19, lo cual podría ser utilizado para promover el uso racional de medicamentos .SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/122510.1590/SciELOPreprints.1225spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1225/1880Copyright (c) 2020 Armando Miñan-Tapia, Aram Conde-Escobar, Dereck Calderon-Arce, Dalia Cáceres-Olazo, Alexandra Johanna Peña-Rios, Roberto Carlos Donoso-Romerohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMiñan-Tapia, ArmandoConde-Escobar, AramCalderon-Arce, Dereck Cáceres-Olazo, Dalia Peña-Rios, Alexandra JohannaDonoso-Romero, Roberto Carlos reponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-09-18T00:16:45Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1225Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-09-18T00:16:45SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
