Resumo: The objective of this study was to characterize self-medication practice and associated factors among freshmen and senior nursing undergraduate students. Our approach was quali-quantitative and we gave a semi-structured questionnaire to all freshmen and senior undergraduate students. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data, using the Discourse of the Collective Subject method. The results demonstrate that most first-year and all fourth-year students self-medicate. Furthermore, there were significant differences according to age group and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs between classes. The reasons that led students to self-medicate were: influence of others, pain relief, long waiting periods for receiving care, considering themselves in possession of enough scientific knowledge after taking a Pharmacology class. We concluded that self-medication is a common practice among students from both classes. After taking Pharmacology, seniors feel scientifically empowered enough for this practice.doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i3.20850.

Se utilizó estudio cuali-cuantitativo, con cuestionario semiestructurado aplicado a todos los estudiantes de 1° y 4° año del curso. Los datos cuantitativos fueron analizados utilizándose estadística descriptiva; los cualitativos, usando el Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo. Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de los estudiantes de primero y todos los de cuarto año se automedican. También expresaron diferencias significativas para faja etaria y consumo de antiinflamatorios entre los años. Los motivos para la automedicación de los estudiantes fueron: influencia de terceros, alivio del dolor, demora en la atención, percepción de conocimientos científicos suficientes luego de cursar la materia Farmacología. Se concluye en que la automedicación es práctica frecuente entre estudiantes de ambos años. Los concluyentes, luego de cursar Farmacología, adquieren empoderamiento científico suficiente para tal práctica.doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i3.20850.O objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar a prática de automedicação e os fatores associados entre estudantes ingressantes e concluintes do curso de Graduação em Enfermagem. Utilizou-se estudo quali-quantitativo com questionário semiestruturado aplicado a todos os estudantes da 1ª e 4ª séries do curso. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados utilizando-se a estatística descritiva e os qualitativos, utilizando-se o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos estudantes da primeira e todos os da quarta série se automedicam. Mostraram, ainda, diferença significativa para faixa etária e consumo de anti-inflamatório entre as séries. Os motivos que levaram os estudantes a se automedicarem foram: influência de terceiros, alívio da dor, demora no atendimento, se perceberem com conhecimentos científicos suficientes após cursarem a disciplina de Farmacologia. Conclui-se que a automedicação é prática frequente entre os estudantes de ambas as séries. Os concluintes, após cursarem Farmacologia, adquirem empoderamento científico suficiente para tal prática. doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i3.20850.Faculdade de Enfermagem da UFG2014-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/fen/article/view/2085010.5216/ree.v16i3.20850Revista Eletrônica de Enfermagem; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2014); 644-51Revista Eletrônica de Enfermagem; v. 16 n. 3 (2014); 644-511518-1944reponame:Revista Eletrônica de Enfermageminstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/fen/article/view/20850/17538Silva, Flávio Martinez daGoulart, Flávia CristinaLazarini, Carlos Albertoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-09-24T21:23:07Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/20850Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/fenPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/fen/oairee.fen@ufg.br1518-19441518-1944opendoar:2019-09-24T21:23:07Revista Eletrônica de Enfermagem - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
