dc.description.abstractAim: This study was carried out to determine the health beliefs of mothers with children hospitalized at a university hospital regarding medicine use and their knowledge and practices towards rational use of medicines in the children. Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted between 15 July and 15 October 2018 at the Karabük University Research and Training Hospital with 260 mothers. A Participant Information Form and the Drug Use Health Beliefs Scale were used as the data collection tools. Results: It was determined that only 10.8% (n=28) of the mothers had knowledge about rational use of medicines. The mothers’ Drug Use Health Beliefs Scale total mean score was 150.91 ± 15.13. 93.5% (n=243) of the mothers used antipyretics, whereas only 17.7% (n=43) of them used antipyretics recommended by a doctor. The mothers who read the package inserts of medicine had a significantly higher mean scale score than those who did not. Conclusion: The mothers had insufficient knowledge on rational use of medicines, but their health beliefs related to prescription medicine use were high. However, the mothers used antipyretic, analgesic, antibiotic and cough medicines in their children without consulting a doctor, whereas the majority of them used particularly antipyretics without a doctor’s recommendation. © 2020, Eurasian Society of Family Medicine.
