| Antibiotics are drugs often used. This drugs used without legitimate indications or incorrectly may cause not satisfactory clinical results. It is therefore important for the society members to be aware of what is an antibiotic and which benefits and risks its use may bring. The survey was conducted in 2010. Objective of the study was to obtain information on the current knowledge and beliefs about antibiotic therapy of Poles. The research material consisted of 609 questionnaires and interviews, conducted among the adult population residing in the Lublin voivodeship. The study shows that rural inhabitants donít know the term herbal medicine or antibiotic more often than inhabitants in the city. Similarly, they more often donít know the action of antibiotics as well as use them less frequently. Poles treat them as an emergency exit if they are not helped by home treatments. There was a problem of overuse of antibiotics, related to young people, which were busy and have no time for illness. Self-medication in the antibiotic therapy also occurs and is caused, among others, by undisciplined patients. The respondents admited that they have antibiotics from the previous treatment, from pharmacy, or from family or friends. However, residents of rural areas using an antibiotic most frequently, cited a pharmacy as the source of this drug. Other issues dealt within this study generally doesnít differ for rural inhabitants from the data obtained among the urban population. |
