De esa manera, el objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar en qué medida la hiperinformación aumentó el uso irracional de medicamentos y la automedicación durante la pandemia de COVID-19, además de las consecuencias de la difusión de noticias falsas sobre el tratamiento del virus sin la orientación de un profesional calificado. Se utilizó una metodología exploratoria y descriptiva con la aplicación de un cuestionario en línea para estudiantes del curso de farmacia y empleados de un colegio privado del interior de Bahía, con 54 participantes. Sin embargo, los resultados fueron significativos, en cuanto a la influencia de estas plataformas en el consumo de medicamentos, principalmente para el tratamiento preventivo del COVID-19, alrededor del 73,6% de los individuos se automedicaron por miedo a contaminarse, aunque el 81,9% de estos participantes no encajan en el grupo de riesgo. Además, la mayoría de los encuestados informaron estar más ansiosos y estresados por la información transmitida. A pesar de los diversos medios disponibles para obtener información, es necesario realizar una mayor inspección en relación a la veracidad de las noticias y reportajes circulantes. Además del reconocimiento del profesional de la salud, especialmente del farmacéutico responsable del último vínculo entre el paciente y la atención continua que ayuda a reducir la automedicación.A facilidade de acesso à informação por meio das diversas redes sociais, tornou-se potencialmente nocivo, tendo em vista, o costumeiro hábito da população de indicar medicamentos para um parente, amigo ou conhecido por meio do uso de consulta das redes sociais tem levado ao aumento do uso irracional de medicamentos. Dessa maneira, o objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar o quanto a hiperinformação aumentou o uso irracional de medicamentos e a automedicação durante a pandemia do COVID-19, além das consequências da disseminação de Fake News a respeito do tratamento da doença sem a orientação de um profissional habilitado. Foi utilizada uma metodologia exploratória e descritiva com aplicação de questionário online para alunos do curso de farmácia e funcionários de uma faculdade particular do interior da Bahia, contendo 54 participantes. Os resultados foram significativos, a respeito da influência dessas redes sociais no consumo de medicamentos principalmente para o tratamento preventivo do COVID-19, cerca de 73,6% dos indivíduos realizaram a automedicação por medo de se contaminar, embora 81,9% desses participantes não se enquadrarem no grupo de risco. Além disso, grande parte dos entrevistados relataram estar mais ansiosos e estressados com as informações veiculadas. Apesar dos vários meios disponíveis para se obter informações se faz necessário uma maior fiscalização em relação a veracidade das notícias e informes circulantes. Deste modo é necessario a valorização do profissional da saúde, principalmente o farmacêutico responsável pelo último elo entre o paciente e o cuidado continuado que auxilia na diminuição da automedicação.Research, Society and Development2021-06-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1606910.33448/rsd-v10i7.16069Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 7; e0510716069Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 7; e0510716069Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 7; e05107160692525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/16069/14467Copyright (c) 2021 Karina Kelly Assis Santos; Tayanne Andrade dos Santos; Dalilla Arruda Luz https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Karina Kelly Assis Santos, Tayanne Andrade dos Luz , Dalilla Arruda2021-07-18T21:07:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16069Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:43.881911Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
