指導教授 : 莊昭華

摘要


背景:國人使用西藥、中草藥或保健食品的盛行率高。 研究目的:本研究目的為探討社區民眾用藥知識、態度和行為之相關因素。 研究方法:本研究為橫斷式研究設計。民國100年10月~101年1月,利用結構式問卷進行資料收集。研究對象為南部地區參與社區健康促進活動的民眾,經邀請並填寫同意書共458人。 研究結果:最後收回有效問卷421份,完整率為91.92 %。研究對象在過去半年內使用西藥、中草藥和保健食品的盛行率分別為67.2%、24.2%和54.4%。60%以上的中、西藥都是由醫師開立處方,主要目的為治病,而保健食品九成以上都非醫師處方,使用目的是為了養身。用藥知識、態度及行為的平均分數分別為15.12 (滿分19分)、16.16 (滿分23分)和 50.31分 (滿分64分)。用藥知識會影響態度,而態度會影響行為。年齡越輕、教育程度越高、有職業、經濟狀況佳,則用藥知識越好;年齡越年輕、無規律運動、有使用中草藥及用藥知識較佳者,用藥態度越好; 年紀越年輕、無規律運動、有使用中草藥、睡眠品質好及用藥態度較正向者,用藥行為越好。 結論:本研究結果發現,雖然社區民眾有正確的用藥知識,但用藥態度及行為不佳,且藥物知識獲得的管道堪憂。因此未來醫護及公共衛生相關人員應加強社區民眾用藥安全的衛教及建置提供正確資訊的管道,讓民眾擁有正確的用藥態度,進而避免不當的用藥行為產生。
