| dc.description.abstract | Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most consumed drugs worldwide, by different age groups. Objectives: The present study aimed to characterize the NSAIDs consumption in students of Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB) . Methods: A desciptive and cross-sectional study was performed from september 2014 to june 2015, through application of a questionnaire to 563 students of IPB. The sample was composed by 67% female students and 33% male students with ages of 21,9±4.1 years and 62.3% consider their health as good. Results: This study showed an high prevalence of NSAIDS consumption in students of IPB (93.3%). The drug most reported was ibuprofen (95.8%), following by acetylsalicylic acid (39,0%), diclofenac and nimesulide (36,4 e 16,8 %, respectively). Pain and inflammation were main reasons for its consumption (76.4% and 55.8%, respectively) and the oral administration, the most used route of administration (99.4%). A high proportion of students assumes a correct use of NSAIDs, taking the drugs during or after a meal (89.0%) and during a period of time between one to five days (86.3%). It was reported a low rate of adverse events among students (95.0%) and the majority has considered the consumption of NSAID beneficial to health (59.6%). Conclusions:The present study contributes to knowledge of the profile of use of this group of drugs in young adults. | pt_PT |
