Resumo: | Objective: To verify the prevalence, risks, and factors that lead to self-medication, through an integrative literature review, searching for scientific studies in the central academic databases: Academic Google, Scielo, Medline, PubMed, and Redib. Methods: The literature review was conducted in October 2021, using the descriptors "Self-medication", "Pandemia", "COVID-19", "risks", and "prevalence". Results: After using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, twelve articles were obtained for this analysis. They showed that the population did seek self-medication as a means of a quick and easy solution to the disease, as it is lethal and has considerable morbidity. Another justification for the use of self-medication was the mistaken preventive purpose, given the lack of scientific evidence on the treatment and/or prevention of COVID-19. Conclusion: Based on the results presented, it is highlighted that it is of great importance to carry out more studies that assess the indiscriminate use of drugs used in the treatment and/or prevention of the disease, and the importance of the pharmacist professional and the multidisciplinary team in providing guidance is also highlighted and promoting the rational use of medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Métodos: La revisión de la literatura se realizó en octubre de 2021, utilizando los descriptores "Automedicación", "Pandemia", "COVID-19", "riesgos" y "prevalencia". Resultados: Después de utilizar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se obtuvieron 12 artículos para este análisis. Demostraron que la población buscaba la automedicación como medio de solución rápida y fácil de la enfermedad, ya que es letal y tiene una morbilidad considerable. Otra justificación para el uso de la automedicación fue el propósito preventivo equivocado, dada la falta de evidencia científica sobre el tratamiento y / o prevención del COVID-19. Conclusión: A partir de los resultados presentados, se destaca que es de gran importancia realizar más estudios que evalúen el uso indiscriminado de fármacos utilizados en el tratamiento y / o prevención de la enfermedad, y la importancia del profesional farmacéutico y del equipo multidisciplinario. También se destaca en brindar orientación y promover el uso racional de medicamentos durante la pandemia de COVID-19.Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência, riscos e fatores que levam a realização da automedicação, através de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, fazendo buscas de estudos científicos nas principais bases de dados acadêmicas: Google Acadêmico, Scielo, Medline, PubMed e Redib. Métodos: A revisão de literatura foi realizada no mês de outubro de 2021, utilizando os descritores “Automedicação”, “Pandemia”, “COVID-19”, “riscos” e “prevalência”. Resultados: Após fazer uso dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, obteve-se 12 artigos para a realização desta análise. Eles evidenciaram que a população buscou a automedicação como um meio de solução rápida e fácil para a doença, visto que ela é letal e tem uma morbidade considerável. Outra justificativa para a utilização da automedicação era a finalidade preventiva, de forma equivocada, dada a falta de comprovação cientifica sobre tratamento e/ou prevenção da COVID-19. Conclusão: Mediante os resultados apresentados, destaca-se que é de grande importância a realização de mais estudos que avaliem o uso indiscriminado de medicamentos utilizado no tratamento e/ou prevenção da doença, e se ressalta também a importância do profissional farmacêutico e da equipe multiprofissional na orientação da promoção do uso racional de medicamentos durante a pandemia da COVID-19.Research, Society and Development2021-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2404910.33448/rsd-v10i16.24049Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 16; e308101624049Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 16; e308101624049Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 16; e3081016240492525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/24049/20699Copyright (c) 2021 Jhemerson da Costa Gomes; Joyce Caroline Araújo da Silva; Sarah Suely Alves Batalhahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGomes, Jhemerson da CostaSilva, Joyce Caroline Araújo daBatalha, Sarah Suely Alves 2021-12-20T11:03:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/24049Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:43.862312Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
