“…In a study conducted with university students in 2020 on the subject, the RDU mean score of female students was found to be higher than male students. 24 Similarly, in the study conducted by Demirtaş et al, women (36,0; 11,0-42,0) were found to be more successful and conscious than men in terms of rational drug use (34,0; 6,0-42,0). 15 In this respect, our results are consistent with the literature, which can be explained by the fact that women are more sensitive to the subject.…”

This survey study was aimed at determining the Rational Drug Use (RDU) behaviors and health perceptions of the staff working in a state university.The population of this cross-sectional study consists of all the staff working in a state university in Turkey. The study sample consisted of a total of 342 staff including academicians, administrative personnel, janitors and security guards. The data were collected through an online questionnaire due to pandemic precautions. The obtained data were recorded on the SPSS version 18 program and descriptive statistics, normality tests, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation were used in the analysis.The mean age of the participants in the study were found to be 36,54±8,05. 79,2% of the participants were male. 29,2% of them had a PhD. 44,4% were academic staff working in all departments while 55,6% included administrative personnel, janitors and security guards. The RDU knowledge mean scores of the participants (35,69±5,30) were considered sufficient. It was found that factors such as personal and parental educational status, profession, socioeconomic level, family type, gender, and distance from the health center of the residence had important effects on Rational Drug Use (p<0,05). The participants' health perceptions were at moderate level (51,15±7,97). It was revealed that educational status, profession, and socioeconomic level affected the perception of health (p<0,05). To improve rational drug use and health perceptions, it is crucial to reveal the current situation, and to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes of individuals. Training, studies, and social policies aimed at promoting the perception of health and rational drug use should be made widespread.

“…It is inevitable for individuals with low health literacy to skip preventive health services, treatment compliance, chronic disease management and, more generally, have poor health outcomes [47]. Factors such as cultural beliefs about health and illness, language problems and socioeconomic status affect immigrants' communication with healthcare providers and their understanding and compliance with medical instructions [48].…”

Rational drug use is a pivotal concept linked with morbidity and mortality. Immigration plays a significant role as a determinant affecting individuals’ health-related attitudes, behaviors, and the pursuit of health services. Within this context, the study was initiated to assess the factors influencing health literacy and rational drug use among Syrian immigrants in Istanbul. A cross-sectional study was undertaken on 542 Syrian adults utilizing a three-part questionnaire encompassing sociodemographics, rational drug use, and the e-health literacy scale (eHEALS). With an average age of 39.19 ± 13.10 years, a majority of participants believed medications should solely be doctor-prescribed (97%) and opposed keeping antibiotics at home (93.7%). Yet, 62.5% thought excessive herbal medicine use was harmless. The mean eHEALS score stood at 20.57 ± 7.26, and factors like age, marital status, income, and duration of stay in Turkey influenced e-health literacy. Associations were seen between low e-health literacy and being female, being older, having a lower education level, and regular medication use. Syrian immigrants displayed proper knowledge concerning antibiotics yet exhibited gaps in their understanding of general drug usage, treatment adherence, and herbal medicines. Approximately 80.3% had limited health literacy, pointing to the need for targeted interventions for enhanced health and societal assimilation.

Unnecessary and improper medication use are problems that affect public health negatively. In our country, a significant portion of health expenditures is spent on medications. This study was aimed to evaluate the rational drug use knowledge and behaviors of students at Siirt University Health School. The study was carried out face to face with the participation of 568 students. The survey was carried out with the method of application under observation. The research population in which the questionnaire could be applied consisted of 980 students. Participation in the survey required volunteering. A questionnaire form was applied to students about their rational drug use information. Data were analyzed descriptively and independent T-test using SPSS 22. 0 package program. The students stated that they kept the residual drugs after the treatment in 51.6% to use when they were needed, and they kept the cold chain drugs at 58.3% on the cover of the refrigerator. When they wanted to use the drugs again, 34.1% do not want to take medicine if they are not ill. It is recorded that the painkillers are the first medicine to be found at home when it will be needed, the second is antibiotics and the 3rd is the ointments. 73.6% of the students do not use medication prescribed by the advice of their neighbors or relatives. 71.5% of the students said no to the question of if they recommend drugs to their relatives. 62.6% of the students stated that they did not use antibiotics and vitamins by themselves. 58.5% of the students learn the knowledge of medication use from the medication prospectus. 4.8% of the students accept the equivalent medications that were recommended by the pharmacist. It has been learned that students should increase their knowledge and behavior levels related to rational drug use. Wrong and unnecessary use of drugs can be prevented by explaining the side effects, active substances in drugs, and how they affect metabolism at the molecular level.
