Abstract

Background and Objective: Considering the importance of the issue of SELF-MEDICATION consumption of drug, especially among the STUDENTs with high level of education, the aim of this study was to compare KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE of SELF-MEDICATION between medical and non-medical STUDENTs in Arak in 2013.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical study that was carried out on 400 medical and non-medical STUDENTs in 2013 that were selected by convenience sampling. Data collected with valid and reliable questionnaire consisting KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE and PRACTICE and finally with appropriate statistical tests were analyzed.Results: The average of KNOWLEDGE score was 62.39±21.79, PRACTICE was 26.36±17.82 and ATTITUDE was 54.55±16.50 that were obtained from a 100 score. In this study, a significant difference between the median KNOWLEDGE score (p=0.001) and ATTITUDE between medical and non-medical STUDENT was observed. Significant direct correlation between age and performance was poor (r=0.16, p=0.001), but significant indirect correlation between the performance of ATTITUDE (p=0.001) was observed.Conclusion: Considering prevalence of SELF-MEDICATION and low ATTITUDE of STUDENT, therefore it is suggested that education program about harmful SELF-MEDICATION in universities for reduction of SELF-MEDICATION is included.
