Abstract

Background: Given the importance of having valid information about the Prevalence and reasons of Self-medication among Pregnant women for preventing Self-medication during this period, this study aimed to systematically review and perform a Meta-Analysis on the Prevalence and reasons of selfmedication during pregnancy. Methods: This systematic review and Meta-Analysis was conducted in 2018 to estimate the overall Self-medication Prevalence based on the database sources PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, MagIran, IranMedex and SID. Required data were collected using keywords: medication, Self-medication, overthe-counter, non-prescription, Prevalence, etiology, and occurrence and Pregnant. Descriptive and crosssectional studies in English and Persian languages were included. There was no time limitation for search. R software was applied for Meta-Analysis. Random-effects model was applied to estimate the Self-medication Prevalence with 95% confidence interval. Q statistics and I2 were used to measure the heterogeneity. Results: Out of 490 retrieved articles, finally 13 studies were included in Meta-Analysis, 6 studies of which reported the cause of Self-medication. The overall estimated Prevalence of Self-medication based on the random effect model was 32% (95% CI, 22%-44% ). The most important reasons of selfmedication were previous experience of the disease. The most important group of disease in which patients self-medicated was anemia. Also, the most important group of medication was herbal. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Prevalence of Self-medication among Pregnant women was relatively high and required effective interventions to reduce and prevent Self-medication among this group. Providing required information and raising awareness about complications resulting from selfmedication, in particular herbal medicines and dietary supplements, should be taken into account.
