Abstract
No Brasil, são poucos os estudos sobre consumo de medicamentos em adultos. Assim, o objetivo de pesquisa foi verificar o perfil de consumo de medicamentos e identificar fatores associados ao uso entre adultos de vinte a 59 anos. O delineamento da pesquisa foi transversal. A amostra foi composta por 374 indivíduos da área de abrangência de uma unidade saúde da família de Ponta Grossa (PR). As entrevistas ocorreram entre dezembro de 2006 e janeiro de 2007. O período recordatório foi de sete dias. Os medicamentos foram classificados segundo a Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification. Testes de qui quadrado e de regressão logística foram utilizados para análise estatística. A prevalência de consumo de medicamentos foi de 67,1%. A utilização variou entre um e dezessete medicamentos. O analgésico foi a classe terapêutica mais consumida. Após análise multivariada, as variáveis que permaneceram associadas significativamente foram sexo, autopercepção de saúde, presença de doenças crônicas e filiação a plano de saúde. A farmácia comercial foi o principal local de acesso aos medicamentos (63,6%). A prevalência de consumo de medicamentos foi semelhante à encontrada em estudo nacional e internacional. Os achados desta pesquisa poderão nortear as ações das equipes saúde da família.
There are few studies about the consumption of medication by adults in Brazil. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to identify the profile of medication consumption and associated factors among adults aged 29 to 59 years old. This is a cross-sectional study. The sample included 374 individuals from the area of a family health unit in the city of Ponta Grossa, State of Paraná. The interviews were conducted from December 2006 to January 2007, with a 7-day recall. The medications were classified according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification. Qui-square test and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. The prevalence of medication consumption was 67.1%. The use varied from 1 to 17 drugs. Analgesics were the therapeutic class most consumed. After multivariate analysis, the variables which remained significantly associated to use were: gender, self-perception of health, presence of chronic diseases, and access to a health plan. Commercial pharmacy was the main place for obtaining medicines (63.6%). The prevalence of medication consumption was similar to that found in national and international studies. The findings in this research may be a guide for the actions of family health teams.
