| Abstrakt | Background. The relationship between antibiotic usage and resistance is strongly supported by several studies. The frequency of self-medication with antibiotics and to what extent self-medication is a contributing factor to the prevalence of resistance is not known. Methods. A postal questionnaire was developed collaboratively in English in the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Universsity of Groningen, the Netherlands. In a population survey 19 European countries including Slovenia participated. A postal questionnaire in Slovene was distributed to 3000 randomly selected subject in urban and rural area of Ljubljana. The study population consisted of adults aged 18 years and above. The participants were asked a series of standardized questions regarding their use of antibiotics during the last 12 months, how these were obtained if they had any antibiotics at home and if they would consider using antibiotics for themselves and their children without contacting a physician. Results. 1143 (38%) persons completed the questionnaire. The mean age among the respondents was 48.1 years. Use of antibiotics during the last year was reported by 31% of the adult respondents and 42.4% of children. 15/1139 (1.3%) got antibiotics from leftover, 2 (0.17%) from friends and relatives and 2 (0.7%) directly from pharmacy. 20.4% of respondents had antibiotics at home. Among the respondents 10.1% (109/1071) would use antibiotics without contacting a doctor and 17.8% (191/1071) may use them. The antibiotics would or may be used without contacting a doctor for treatment of 4.7% of children. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters) | |
| Izvleček | Izhodišča. Poleg predpisanih antibiotikov vpliva na uporabo antibiotikov tudi samozdravljenje. Ni znana pogostnost samozdravljenja niti viri za pridobitev antibiotikov. Potrebne so raziskave, kako samozdravljenje vpliva na celokupno porabo in posledično tudi na razvoj odpornosti bakterij. Metode. Vprašalnik o uporabi antibiotikov so razvili na oddelku za klinično farmakologijo Univerze v Groningenu, Nizozemska. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 19 evropskih držav, med njimi tudi Slovenija. Vprašalnik smo poslali 3000 prebivalcem Ljubljane, polovico mestnemu delu in drugo polovicookolici. Vprašalnik smo poslali osebam, starim nad 18 let. V vprašalniku smo zastavili vprašanja o uporabi antibiotikov v zadnjih 12 mesecih, načinu pridobivanja antibiotikov, shranjevanju antibiotikov doma in o antibiotikih, ki jih jemljejo anketiranci in njihovi otroci brez pregleda pri zdravniku. Rezultati. Vprašalnik je izpolnilo 38% vprašanih, kar znaša 1143 oseb. Povprečna starost anketirancev je bila 48,1 leta. V zadnjih 12 mesecih je 31% vprašanih in 42,4% otrok prejemalo antibiotik. 15/1139 (1,3%) vprašanih se je zdravilo z ostanki od prejšnjih zdravljenj, 2 (0,17%) je dobilo antibiotik od sorodnikov ali znancev in 2 (0,7%) neposredno iz lekarne. 10,1% (109/1071) bi vzelo antibiotik brez pregleda pri zdravniku in 17,8% (191/1071) vprašanih bi ga morda vzelo brez pregleda. Za zdravljenje otrok brez pregleda pri zdravniku bi se odločilo 4,7 vprašanih. Zaključki. Samozdravljenje, potencialno samozdravljenje in domača zaloga antibiotikov so v Sloveniji pogosti. V Sloveniji je potrebno zmanjšati domačo zalogo antibiotikov in opozoriti zavarovance na nevarnost samozdravljenja. | |
