Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the rational drug use levels of the members of the society, which are important components of rational drug use, and the factors affecting the level of rational drug use. The research was designed as a cross-sectional type of field research. The population of the study consists of adults aged 18 and over living in Turkey. The research was conducted with 441 volunteer data. The research data were collected with a questionnaire form consisting of questions about the descriptive characteristics of the participants and the Rational Drug Use Scale. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used. 65.53% of the participants were female, 63.27% were single, and the mean age was 33.04±13.417. 88.21% of the participants received a scale score of 35 and above, and the average score was 38.08±3.554. The mean scores obtained from the scale, differ significantly according to the employment and income status of the participants, the presence of chronic diseases, and health education. It has been concluded that it is possible to increase the rational drug use level of the society with macroeconomic policies. Increasing employment rates and income levels; It is expected that providing education throughout the society, especially for patients, mothers/women and school-age children, will increase the level of rational drug use.
