| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: pneumonia is among the leading causes of childhood deaths where three quarters of childhood deaths due to pneumonia in Africa and Asia, occur outside of the hospital. Self- medication may attribute to delay in seeking medical help, resulting to negative outcomes of pneumonia. There is little information on self – medication done by caregivers on common childhood illnesses.<br/><br/>Methodology: Across sectional study conducted in pediatric ward at Nyamagana hospital and Sekou Toule hospital in Tanzania, from May to June 2019. The study enrolled 232 caregivers whose children ages were 0-5 years, using consecutive sampling and interviewed using structured questionnaire questionnaires. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.<br/><br/>Results and discussion: mother attributes to largest group of caregivers which ages 18-30 years. Pre hospital self- medication was observed to be 62% among caregivers which was a decrease from previous studies but still high. The largest groups of medications used were cough and cold medications (48.3%) and antibiotics (24.7%) obtained mostly from pharmacy/ drugs stores similar to other several studies. Level of education could be a determinant of self- medication as there was a significant association between them (p value of 0.004).<br/><br/>Conclusion and recommendation: there is a decrease in self- medication practices among caregivers to children under five years though the prevalence is still high. The government should focus on the alarming increase of antibiotics use to children under five years and should incorporate this in the ongoing projects (example: SNAP) for combating antimicrobial resistance.<br/> |
