Resumo: | Current paper identifies sources of information on medicines among high school students and discusses the role of the Internet in this process. Cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical survey was conducted with 232 students from a public school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most students (75.86%) said they had access to information about medicines at school, mainly by teachers (32.48%). Health professionals were identified as the biggest source (42.67%), whereas on the Internet, the most cited tool was YouTube (32.03%). Among students who use the Internet as a source of information, most (76.36%) had used medication in the previous 15 days, did not receive any instructions (60.00%) and regularly self-medicated (44.55%). Results highlight the role of the Internet as a source of information, despite the lack of regulatory mechanisms on what is disseminated, which may compromise the rational use of medicines. |

Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal de prevalência, descritiva e analítica realizada com 232 estudantes de uma escola pública do Rio de Janeiro. A maior parte (75,86%) respondeu ter acesso a tais informações no ambiente escolar, principalmente pelos professores (32,48%). Os profissionais de saúde foram identificados como a maior fonte (42,67%). Na Internet, a ferramenta mais citada foi o YouTube (32,03%). Entre os alunos que recorrem à web como fonte de informação, a maior parte (76,36%) usou medicamentos nos 15 dias anteriores, não foi orientada (60,00%) e se automedica regularmente (44,55%). Os resultados ressaltam o papel da Internet como fonte de informação, apesar da falta de mecanismos de regulação a respeito do que é veiculado, o que pode comprometer o uso racional de medicamentos.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2021-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por ParesTextoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/878610.17765/2176-9206.2021v14n2e8786Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 14 No 2 (2021): abr./jun. ; 351-360Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 14 n. 2 (2021): abr./jun. ; 351-3602176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporenghttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8786/6609https://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/8786/6610Ramos, Thales BrandiCastilho, Selma Rodrigues deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-09-13T13:47:52Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8786Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2021-09-13T13:47:52Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |
