“…This view is strengthened by observation of other studies on self-medication wherein similar indications have been cited. 5,6 Significantly less participants selfmedicated due to cough during internship (20%) as compared to during II nd MBBS (45.4%). Sontakke, et al have also reported that III rd MBBS students used selfmedication significantly less for cough as compared to I st MBBS students albeit these were two totally different groups of students.…”

“…11 The prevalence of self-medication is more as compared to that observed in a similar setting in third MBBS students (39.24%) but less as compared to other studies. 5,6,8 Pain/Fever (56.8% and 70%), cold/flu (45.4% and 32%), infections (27.27% and 32%) and nutritional supplementation (36.4% and 34%) were the main indications for which participants self-medicated during II nd MBBS and during internship respectively (Table 2). Further the similarity in most indications during both years indicates that medical students might be facing almost the same health concerns throughout their tenure as medical students.…”

“…Other studies conducted on I st MBBS, II nd and III rd MBBS and practicing physicians, too have indicated Analgesics to be most commonly used. 5,6,[10][11][12] The significantly lesser use of cough syrups during internship could possibly be because of increased awareness that treating the primary cause can allay cough because though 20% interns mentioned cough as an indication for self-medication; only half (10%) consumed cough syrup. The drug groups most frequently used in present study by participants for self-medication were similar to other studies.…”

“…The drug groups most frequently used in present study by participants for self-medication were similar to other studies. 5,6,10,12 Table 4 shows that awareness about potential ADRs to drugs consumed is significantly more during internship (70%) as compared to during II nd MBBS (20.45%). More interns wrote ADR correctly (33vs9) and numbers of ADRs stated by them for a particular drug was also more as compared to during II nd MBBS.…”

“…4 Self-medication is also reported to be prevalent among Indian medical students. 5,6 The practice of self-medication among doctors develops during their training period as is obvious from some studies of self-medication among medical students. These studies have reported high prevalence ranging from 44.8% to 82.3%.…”

Background: Self-medication is common in medical students but few studies address the concern regarding knowledge of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among them. None of the study compares the practice of self-medication among the same medical students as their level of education increases. Hence the study was planned to compare the pattern, source, reason of self- medication and assess the level of awareness about potential ADRs to the consumed drugs in medical students during second year through their internship.Methods: It was a longitudinal cross sectional questionnaire-based study conducted among under graduate second year MBBS students of a medical college and repeated during their internship few years later in order to avoid variability in questionnaire. Chi-square and Fischer’s exact test were used for testing statistical significance. p value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: 80 students were present on the day of study during their IInd MBBS and 73 students during their internship. Comparatively more students self-medicated during their internship than during their IInd MBBS (68% vs 55%). Analgesics (56.8% and 80%) were most commonly used. 35(70%) of interns were aware of potential ADRs and was statistically very significant in comparison to their awareness during IInd MBBS [9(20.45%)]. Interns rely more on themselves (96%) for self-medication.Conclusions: The practice of self-medication begins early in the career of medical students and is carried forward into their future. Hence it is imperative to educate students regarding responsible self- medication very early in their curriculum.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat pengaruh pemberian media edukasi e-booklet terhadap tingkat perilaku TTK pada penggalian informasi swamedikasi common cold. Penelitian merupakan penelitian quasi-experimental: non-equivalent control group design menggunakan metode non-probability sampling dengan teknik pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling. Sampel pada penelitian ini merupakan 100 TTK yang terdaftar di Pengurus Daerah Persatuan Ahli Farmasi Indonesia Provinsi Riau dan bekerja di apotek. Data dianalisis dengan uji marginal homogenity dengan hasil yang signifikan pada pemberian media edukasi e-booklet terhadap tingkat perilaku TTK pada kelompok perlakuan saat pre test dan post test dengan nilai p=0,011 (p<0,05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa pemberian media edukasi e-booklet dapat meningkatkan perilaku TTK di Provinsi Riau pada penggalian informasi swamedikasi common cold.
