AutoMed-Int: Medical Follow-up and Self-medication Among Medical Students
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
As health actors, medical students educate patients to have regular medical follow-up and give them justified medical prescriptions. Regarding their own health, medical students do not seem to apply these same principles.
The medical follow-up of medical students seems insufficient, which can be explained by the lack of medical follow-up by occupational medicine, a consequent work time, but also the fear of judgment by colleagues Moreover, medical student have an easy access to all types of prescriptions and therefore the ease of self-prescription and self-medication. Medical students may also overestimate their medical knowledge and may not be objective about their symptomatology.
