“…The prevalence of medicine consumption found in our study was similar to the one reported in a systematic review conducted in Brazil, about 50% ( Gomes et al., 2017 ). Our study found an increased lack of access to treatments when compared to a population-based study conducted in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil with 2,988 individuals in 2003, which found that 5% of the participants who used medicines in the 15 days prior to the interview could not obtain appropriate treatment ( Bertoldi et al., 2009 ).…”

Objective We aimed to investigate the consumption and lack of access to medicines in the adult population of Manaus, Amazonas. Methods A population-based study was conducted in Manaus in 2019. Individuals aged ≥18 years were selected by probabilistic sampling performed in three stages. Study outcomes included the consumption of medicines in the previous fortnight and the lack of access to treatments in those who used any medicine. We calculated the prevalence ratios (PR) for the outcomes with 95% confidence intervals (CI) by Poisson regression with robust variance, considering the complex sampling design. Results Out of the 2,321 participants, 53.2% (95%CI 50.7-55.7%) consumed medicines, of which 14.4% (95% CI 11.9–16.8%) could not obtain appropriate treatments. Analgesics were the most used medicines (557/2,702; 21.4%), whereas antibiotics were the most inaccessible treatments (18/228; 7.9%). Lack of financial resources was the main reason for not accessing treatments (104/228; 45.6%). Consumption was significantly associated with older age (≥60 years: PR = 1.27; 95%CI 1.09–1.49), lower social class (D/E: PR = 0.84; 95%CI 0.72–0.99), lower educational level (p = 0.039), poor health status (PR = 1.30; 95%CI 1.11–1.52), use of health care services (PR = 1.37; 95%CI 1.26–1.49), and chronic diseases (PR = 1.36; 95%CI 1.22–1.52). Lack of access was higher in people with poor health status (PR = 2.46; 95%CI 1.50–4.04) and chronic diseases (PR = 1.84; 95%CI 1.16–2.92). Conclusion Half of Manaus’ population used medicines, which was higher in socially privileged and sicker individuals. Among those, 14 in every 100 could not access drug therapies, which was more frequent in people with poor health and with chronic diseases.

“…The presence of disease usually requires pharmacological management, which is effective both for preventing and treating health disorders, reducing or eliminating the symptoms of disease. The majority of epidemiological information available describes the prevalence and factors associated with medication use for the general adult population [13][14][15][16] . However, although there are many studies assessing health risks among elementary teachers [6][7][8][9][10] , no studies have described the medication use profile in this population.…”

The aims of the study were to assess the prevalence and analyze the associated factors of medication use among teachers. A cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 530 teachers from Londrina city, Paraná, Brazil. The dependent variable was prescribed medication use and the independent variables were sociodemographic, work-related, lifestyle, health disorders, and chronic diseases, all assessed through questionnaires. Prevalence of medication use was 59.1%. Chronic disease was associated with all medications analyzed. Variables positively associated with medication use according to health disorder type were: Cardiometabolic (Length of employment, overweight, not current tobacco use, and TV viewing); Psychological (Length of employment, common mental disorders, current tobacco use, and disability); Orthopedic (Length of employment, health insurance, overweight, musculoskeletal pain, low job support, and disability); Respiratory (TV viewing and problems related to dust or chalk powder); and Gastrointestinal (common mental disorders and physical activity [negative association]). Support for access, the appropriate use of medicines, and a reduction in medication use should consider work-related, lifestyle, and health disorders, as well as chronic diseases.

“…There are still relatively few reviews in the field of PS, be they systematic, narrative, scoping, or qualitative. This may be because the growth in research in this area is only recent and there is therefore an unmet need to bring together enough references on the same topic to ensure a robust review [40][41][42][43][44] .…”

Resumo A Assistência Farmacêutica (AF) é um campo em expansão no Brasil e nos últimos 25 anos vem se consolidando também através da publicação científica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a evolução da AF como campo na Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. Uma revisão de escopo, em quatro períodos, 1996-2003, 2004-2010, 2011-2015, 2016-2019, foi realizada por duplas de pesquisadores, buscando palavras e termos de busca nos títulos. As inclusões foram totalizadas por ano de publicação, suas características descritas quanto ao tipo de artigo, idioma, local e instituição de origem do primeiro autor e classificadas por temáticas principais, secundárias e especificidades. Foram resgatados 307 artigos e incluídos 260. Os resultados refletiram aumento de publicações ao longo do tempo, participação majoritária de artigos de tema livre e originais, em português, de autores das regiões Sul e Sudeste, de universidades públicas e da Fiocruz. Os temas principais foram Utilização de Medicamentos (161 artigos), Gestão (56) e Temas Tangenciais ao Ciclo da AF (43). A partir da classificação foi elaborada uma ontologia própria da AF. O campo reúne política pública a atividades gerenciais e de cuidados em saúde à população. Espera-se que essa variada gama de interrelações venha a se expressar cada vez mais na publicação científica.
