Determining the Knowledge Level of Parents about Their Children’s Rational Drug Use

Öz:
The main responsibility for the rational use of drugs (RUD) in children belongs to the parents. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and awareness level of parents about RUD in children. The study included literate volunteer parents with no learning disability. The rational drug use scale (RDUS), developed by Demirtas, was modified to assess parents' knowledge about RUD in children (higher score indicates higher knowledge level). Questionnaires for which all questions were not answered were excluded from the study. Two-group differences (gender, employment status, health insurance) were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Kruskal Wallis test was used to compare the differences among three or more groups (age: ≤30, 30-40 and >40 years; education level: elementary, high school, associate degree and bachelor degree or higher; income: <2000 TL, 2000-5000TL and >5000 TL; number of children: 1, 2, 3 and ≥4). The study included 410 participants (mean age: 35±8.2; female: 58.3%). The mean scores obtained from the scale was 21.31 ± 4.1. Among females, the knowledge of RUD varied across education level (X2=32.333, p<0.001), income class (X2=16.096, p<0.001) and the number of children (X2=7.868, p=0.049). RDUS score was higher in employed females compared to non-employed females (U=2337.5, p<0.001). In male participants, the knowledge of RUD varied across education level (X2=32.130, p<0.001), income class (X2=16.893, p<0.001) and the number of children (X2=8.307, p=0.040). It was concluded that parents displayed incorrect attitudes and behavours regarding the use of drugs for in children.

Ebeveynlerin Çocuklarının Akılcı İlaç Kullanımına İlişkin Bilgi Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi

Öz:
Çocuklarda akılcı ilaç kullanmında (AİK) temel sorumluluk ebeveynlere aittir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveynlerin çocuklarda AİK hakkında bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemektir. Çalışmaya okuryazar, öğrenme güçlüğü olmayan, gönüllü ebeveynler dahil edildi. Demirtaş tarafından geliştirilen akılcı ilaç kullanımı ölçeği (AİKÖ), ebeveynlerin çocuklarda AİK ile ilgili bilgilerini değerlendirmek üzere modifiye edildi (yüksek puan, yüksek bilgi düzeyini gösterir). Tüm soruları yanıtlanmayan anketler çalışma dışı bırakıldı.İki grup farklılıkları (cinsiyet, çalışma durumu, sağlık sigortası) Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Üç ve daha fazla grup arasındaki farklılıkların karşılaştırılmasında Kruskal Wallis testi kullanıldı (yaş: ≤30, 30-40 ve >40 yıl; eğitim düzeyi: ilkokul, lise, önlisans ve lisans ve üzeri; gelir: <2000 TL, 2000-5000TL ve >5000 TL; çocuk sayısı: 1, 2, 3 ve ≥4). Çalışmaya 410 kişi dahil edildi (ortalama yaş: 35±8.2; kadın: %58.3). Ölçekten alınan ortalama puan 21.31 ± 4.1'di. Kadın katılımcılarda AİK bilgisi, eğitim düzeyi (X2=32.333, p<0.001), gelir sınıfı (X2=16.096, p<0.001) ve çocuk sayısı (X2=7.868, p=0.049) parametrelerinde farklılık göstermiştir. AİKÖ puanı çalışan kadınlarda çalışmayan kadınlara göre daha yüksekti (U=2337.5, p<0.001). Erkek katılımcılarda AİK bilgisi eğitim düzeyine (X2=32.130, p<0.001), gelir sınıfına (X2=16.893, p<0.001) ve çocuk sayısına (X2=8.307, p=0.040) göre değişiklik göstermiştir. Ebeveynlerin çocuklarda ilaç kullanımı konusunda yanlış tutum ve davranışlar sergiledikleri sonucuna varılmıştır.
