Abstract

Background: Self-medication is using medicines without a prescription or health professional advice. Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are commonly used in self-medication. Knowledge and practices of self-medication is required to be assessed to ensure appropriate uses of medicines.Objective: This study is to examine public knowledge and practices of self-medication in Subdistrict of Ngaglik, Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in three villages in Ngaglik, Sleman. 339 participants were selected through a cluster sampling. Data were collected by using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used to analyse the data.Results: Most of participants were female (61.7%) aged between 26-45 years (49.9%). More than fifty percent of participants (59%) had education level of senior high school, and 49.9% participants had good knowledge of the OTC self-medication. The level of knowledge of self-medication was significantly associated with the level of education (p values<0.05). The most commonly used OTC medicines for self-medication were analgesics and antipyretics (48.4%), respiratory drugs (29.7%), and gastrointestinal drugs (9.6%). OTC medicine advertisements were common sources of information about medicines for self-medication (39.5%) whereas information sources from health professionals were accounted for only 2.4%.Conclusion: The public knowledge of self-medication needs to be developed. Health professionals, especially pharmacists, are suggested to provide more information on the OTC medicines for public to allow them to access additional information sources than medicine advertisements.

Abstract

Effective administration of pharmaceutical supplies is absolutely essential for maintaining the quality of care provided by healthcare facilities. Deficiencies in healthcare service quality are often rooted in management practices that are both ineffective and suboptimal within the supply chain. To address these inefficiencies, Lean Management presents a viable framework for adoption within the healthcare environment. This paper summarizes existing literature through a narrative review specifically focusing on how lean principles are applied to the management of pharmacy stock. The methodology involved a systematic search using Boolean logic across major databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. From a starting pool of 96 articles, nine were ultimately selected based on the defined inclusion criteria. The compiled research findings consistently and unanimously suggest that incorporating lean methodologies offers substantial advantages. These advantages are realized primarily through the ability to minimize operational waste (such as excess inventory, unnecessary movement, or excessive waiting times) and simultaneously boost the overall efficiency of the pharmacy supply chain. Implementing Lean Management is therefore an effective strategy for optimizing logistics and improving service quality in pharmaceutical provision.
