Resumen
La automedicación es una práctica que puede generar riesgos en la salud de usuarios,
por ello, se planteó el objetivo de describir el rol de enfermería en prevención de
afecciones por resistencia a medicamentos por automedicación. Se aplicó la
metodología descriptiva, cuantitativa, con uso de encuesta aplicada a 50 usuarios, cuyos
resultados evidenciaron que la población mayoritaria (80%) utilizaron analgésicos por
automedicación, para calmar dolor de cabeza, diarrea o desviaciones de salud similares,
mientras que 56% consumieron antibióticos, acudiendo al establecimiento sanitario
solo cuando los dolores continuaron, porque la automedicación es una costumbre
arraigada en la población, pero a pesar de saber por medio de redes sociales, que de este
fenómeno se deriva el riesgo de afectaciones por resistencia a fármacos, siguen
practicándolo, con limitada participación de profesionales de enfermería, que solo en
24% de casos, ejecutaron la consejería de enfermería, charlas y entrega de material
informativo. En conclusión, se halló una limitada aplicación del rol educativo de
enfermería en prevención de afecciones por resistencia a medicamentos debido a
automedicación.
Self-medication is a practice that can generate risks to the health of users, therefore, the objective of describing the role of nursing in the prevention of conditions due to drug resistance due to self-medication was proposed. The descriptive, quantitative methodology was applied, with the use of a survey applied to 50 users, whose results showed that the majority population (80%) used analgesics for self-medication, to calm headaches, diarrhea or similar health deviations, while 56% they took antibiotics, going to the health facility only when the pain continued, because self-medication is a habit rooted in the population, but despite knowing through social networks that the risk of drug resistance is derived from this phenomenon, they continue to practice it, with limited participation of nursing professionals, who only in 24% of cases, carried out nursing counseling, talks and delivery of information material. In conclusion, a limited application of the educational role of nursing in the prevention of conditions due to drug resistance due to self-medication was found.
