Prospektüsler,
reçeteli veya reçetesiz ilaçlar hakkında hastaya gerekli bilgileri sağlayan ve
günümüzde kısmen internet üzerinden erişilebilir olsa da halen çoğunlukla ilaç
kutuları içinde basılı halde sağlanan belgelerdir. Akılcı ilaç kullanımı
kavramının ön plana çıktığı son zamanlarda, ilaçların içeriği, kullanım şekli,
dikkat edilmesi gereken bilgi ve talimatlar gibi hastayı/hasta yakınını
yönlendirici bilgiler içeren bu belgeleri kullanma alışkanlıkları genç bir
hedef kitle üzerinde araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla yürütülen çalışmada, üniversite
öğrencilerinin belirli bir ilaçla ilgili bilgileri nasıl ve ne zaman alacağı
konusundaki tutumu değerlendirilmiştir. Veri toplamak için bir anket formu
tasarlanarak 1., 2. ve 3. sınıf lisans öğrencilerinin 20 soruya cevap vermeleri
istenmiştir. Doksan katılımcının verdikleri cevaplar temel alınarak
istatistiksel analiz yapılmıştır.

Investigation of University Students' Behavior in Using Medicine Leaflets

Öz

Medicine
leaflets are documents that are mostly provided in printed form in medicine
boxes. They provide necessary information to the patient about prescription or
non-prescription medicines and these documents are currently accessible
partially on the internet. Since the increasing importance of rational medicine
use, the habit of using medicine leaflets, that provide information about the
contents of medicines, the way they are used, the information and instructions
to be noticed etc. for the patient / patient's relatives, have been
investigated on a young target group. In this study which were conducted for
this purpose, the attitude of university students about how and when to take
information about a certain drug was evaluated. A questionnaire form was
designed to collect data, and first, second and third year undergraduate
students were asked to answer 20 questions. Statistical analysis was carried
out on the basis of the answers given by ninety participants.
