Abstract

Background and Aim: SELF-MEDICATION, as a common risky health behavior, has financial and non-financial costs for Iranians. This study aimed at determining the situation of SELF-MEDICATION and factors influencing it among WOMEN in Yasuj, Iran.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 192 WOMEN referred to urban health care centers in Yasuj, selected randomly from the existing health files at the centers. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire based on the HEALTH BELIEF MODEL and analyzed by SPSS 16 statistical software.Results: The most widely used medicines for SELF-MEDICATION were those for common cold and antibiotics from among over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and prescription-only-medicines (POM), respectively. Perceived susceptibility (17.63 ± 3.46) was the main construct associated with SELF-MEDICATION among WOMEN.Conclusion: Once the causes of SELF-MEDICATION and its relationship with the HEALTH BELIEF MODEL constructs are known, designing and implementing educational programs aiming at promoting awareness and perception of population groups, especially WOMEN, seems necessary.
