Abstract

OTC (Over the Counter) drugs are a class of over-the-counter and limited over-the-counter drugs, which can be purchased without a prescription from a doctor, are safe, and effective when used according to the instructions on the drug packaging label. This study is a cross-sectional study that aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards the use of OTC drugs among Pharmacy students of the University of Muhammadiyah Riau. The study sample consisted of 86 respondents, consisting of 86% female and 14% male, with the majority aged 19-21 years. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The results showed that 62.8% of respondents had sufficient knowledge about OTC drugs, 64% had moderate attitudes, and 79.1% showed positive practices in the use of OTC drugs. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between knowledge and attitude (correlation coefficient: 0.362; p=0.001), knowledge and practice (correlation coefficient: 0.751; p=0.000), and attitude and practice (correlation coefficient: 0.553; p=0.000). These findings indicate that increasing knowledge about OTC drugs can contribute to more positive attitudes and better practices in their use. This study provides important insights for educational institutions in designing more effective educational programs to improve pharmacy students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards OTC drugs. Increased knowledge is expected to not only shape more positive attitudes, but also encourage safer and more responsible drug use practices

Abstract

The use of over-the-counter drugs such as paracetamol in self-medication is commonly practiced by the public, particularly among housewives. This study aims to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge and the behavior and rationality of paracetamol use in self-medication among housewives in Nagari Sungai Pua. The research employed an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Samples were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of housewives had a good level of knowledge (77.3%), demonstrated positive behavior (63.9%), and used paracetamol rationally (86.6%). Spearman correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship between knowledge and behavior (p < 0.05), as well as between knowledge and the rationality of paracetamol use (p < 0.05). The study concludes that there is a significant correlation between the level of knowledge of housewives and their behavior and rational use of paracetamol in self-medication. It is recommended to enhance public education regarding rational drug use through health professional counseling.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with a high global prevalence and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several sociodemographic factors, including age, sex, disease duration, educational level, and comorbidities, are believed to influence clinical outcomes in diabetic patients. This study aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic characteristics and clinical outcomes among patients with T2DM. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital X in Pekanbaru. The inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥18 years diagnosed with T2DM, receiving oral antidiabetic therapy for at least six months, and having complete medical records. Sociodemographic data were analyzed descriptively, and clinical outcomes were assessed based on HbA1c levels, categorized as “achieved” if HbA1c <7% and “not achieved” if ≥7%. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Of 95 patients, the majority were aged ≥45 years (84.2%), female (69.5%), and had a disease duration of ≥6 years (83.2%). Target HbA1c was more frequently achieved among female patients (60.6%), those aged ≥45 years (60%), with disease duration <6 years (75%), general educational level (60.2%), and without comorbidities (59.7%). However, no significant association was found between sociodemographic characteristics and achievement of HbA1c targets (p>0.05). Although certain sociodemographic groups tended to achieve better clinical outcomes, the study found no significant relationship between sociodemographic factors and clinical outcomes in T2DM patients. Further research considering lifestyle factors and pharmacological therapy is recommended.
