Sažetak
Cilj. Cilj studije je bio procena faktora povezanih sa upotrebom biljnih lekova kod pacijenata u Srbiji, stavova i navika koje pacijenti imaju prema upotrebi biljnih lekova. Metode. Studija je dizajnirana kao opservaciona studija preseka. Istraživanje je sprovedeno u februaru 2018. godine u šest javnih apoteka na teritoriji opština Despotovac i Ćuprija. Studijsku populaciju činili su dobrovoljci oba pola, starosti preko 18 godina, koji su kupovali lekove u jednoj od šest apoteka obuhvaćenih ovim istraživanjem. Ispitanici su popunjavali polustrukturirani upitnik koji je bio specijalno dizajniran za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Upitnik se sastojao iz dva dela. Prvi deo je imao pet pitanja u vezi sa sociodemografskim karakteristikama ispitanika, dok je drugi deo upitnika imao osam pitanja koja su se odnosila na upotrebu biljnih lekova. Studijski podaci su analizirani odgovarajućim metodama deskriptivne i analitičke statistike pomoću SPSS softverskog programa. Rezultati. Ukupno je bilo 190 ispitanika. Prosečna starost ispitanika bila je 47,83 ± 15,9 godina (najmlađi ispitanik imao je 18, a najstariji 89 godina). Neki oblik biljnog preparata koristilo je 145 (76,3%) ispitanika. Najčešći razlozi za upotrebu biljnih lekova bili su prehlada (22,6%), poboljšanje varenja (8,9%), stimulacija imunskog sistema (7,5%), dermatološki problemi (7,5%), kašalj (4,8 %) i reumatske tegobe (4,8%). Pokazano je da se ispitanici o biljnim lekovima najčešće informišu direktno od farmaceuta (26,9%), internetom (21,0%), direktno od lekara (11,8%), odnosno članova porodice i prijatelja (10,8%). Od ukupnog broja ispitanika, 67,7% smatralo je da su biljni lekovi u potpunosti bezbedni za upotrebu. Nešto više od polovine ispitanika (52,7%) informiše svoje lekare o upotrebi biljnog leka. Logistička regresiona analiza pokazala je da biljne lekove češće koriste mlađe žene, sa završenom višom školom ili fakultetom, koje radije koriste biljne lekove u odnosu na konvencionalne medicinske proizvode. Zaključak. Rezultati naše studije su pokazali da su biljne lekove češće koristile žene mlađe životne dobi, sa završenom višom školom ili fakultetom, a koje su se izjasnile da radije koriste biljne lekove u odnosu na druge lekove.
Abstract
Objective. The aim of study was to examine the factors associated with the use of herbal drugs among patients in Serbia, as well as to assess the attitudes and habits of patients toward the use of herbal drugs. Methods. The study was designed as an observational, cross-sectional study. The research was conducted during February 2018 in six community pharmacies across the municipalities of Despotovac and Ćuprija. Study population consisted of adult volunteers of both genders and over 18 years of age who had purchased drugs in one of the six pharmacies involved in the study. Participants filled out the semi-structured questionnaires which had been specifically designed for purposes of this research. The questionnaire consisted of two parts. The first part comprised five questions relating to socio-demographic characteristics of participants, while the second part of the questionnaire was composed of eight questions concerning the use of herbal products. The study data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics by SPSS statistical program. Results. There were 190 participants in total. The average age of the study subjects was 47.83 ± 15.9 years (the youngest was 18, while the oldest was 87 years old). Some form of herbal product was used by 145 (76.3%) participants. The most common reasons for the use of herbal drugs were common cold (22.6%), improving the digestion (8.9%), stimulation of immune system (7.5%), dermatological problems (7.5%), cough (4.8 %) and rheumatic complaints (4.8%). The most frequently participants gained information on use of herbal drugs from pharmacists (26.9%), from sources provided by Internet (21.0%), from their physicians (11.8%) and from family members and friends (10.8%). Of the total number 67.7% of participants considered herbal drugs to be completely safe for use. Slightly more than half of the study subjects (52.7%) gave information on using the herbal drug to their physicians. The binary logistic regression analyses showed that herbal drugs were more commonly used by younger women, with a higher school or university degree who prefer to use herbal medicines compared to other drugs. Conclusion. The results of our study have shown that herbal drugs had been more commonly used by younger women, with a higher school degree or university degree, and who declared that they preferred to use herbal drugs in relation to other drugs.
