L'Automédication au Liban Nord
Dr L. Tayyara, N Yassir, M Fayyad
DEA Santé communautaire- Faculté Santé Publique, Université Libanaise 2006
RÉSUMÉ
Nous avons mené une étude transversale, prospective à visée communautaire pour calculer la
prévalence de l'auto-medication (AM) dans deux communautés au Liban - Nord, par
observation directe chez les pharmaciens de ces deux régions d'une part, et d'autre part,
d'après des réponses recueillies chez 370 participants dans la région de Tripoli Abou Samra, et
288 participants dans la région de Koura Ras Maska. Notre second objectif était d'évaluer la
répartition de la prévalence de l'AM, suivant les tranches d'âge, le sexe, les niveaux
socio-économiques et éducatif, le groupe de médicament et le type de maladie.
Notre population étudiée a regroupé les gens de plus de 18 ans suivant un échantillon de la
population des deux communautés du Liban Nord, l'une rurale à Koura Ras Maska, et l'autre
urbaine à Tripoli Abou Samra. De même, l'enquête a été étendue aux pharmacies de ces deux
communautés pour mesurer sur le terrain la fréquence de l'AM dans ces deux régions, et ceci
durant la période allant de 10-6-2007 à 10-8-2007.
Un check-list structuré a été développé dans le but d'étudier les caractéristiques des
médicaments pris par la population avec ou sans ordonnance et remplie dans les pharmacies
des deux régions déjà citées.
Un questionnaire standardisé, rédigé en langue arabe et administré par des enquêtrices
entraînées, a été l'outil principal de notre enquête auprès des deux communautés de notre
population étudiée.
Les résultats de notre étude ont montré que, la pratique d'AM était très fréquente au
Liban-Nord (84.8%), avec une prédominance dans le milieu urbain (91.6%) par rapport au
milieu rural (76%). De même, la pratique de l'AM dépendait du niveau éducatif des parents.
Ainsi, les mères ayant des études universitaires (liscence) pratiquaient le plus l'AM par rapport
aux pères, alors que celles ayant éffectué des études supérieurs ou illétrées pratiquaient le
moins l'AM. D'autre part, le type de l'activité professionnelle influençait la pratique de l'AM,
puisque les mères institutrices pratiquaient fréquemment l'AM, de même, que les pères ayant
une profession liberale. Toutefois, l'AM pour les enfants était nettement moins fréquente
surtout chez les mères qui travaillaient et celles ayant un niveau éducatif élevé. D'autre part,
les médicaments les plus achetés sans ordonnance d'après les check-list étaient les
analgésiques (46.6%), les vitamines (37.8%) et les antihypertenseurs (16.5%).
Enfin, d'après les résultats de notre étude, on peut conclure que l'éducation sanitaire est
indépendante de l'éducation académique et doit être sérieusement considérée dans notre
pays.

Most students have either decided to continue their studies abroad (slight male preponder-
ance) or have yet to determine.
The majority of students chose to practice in Lebanon. Of those who chose to work abroad most
are males. MEDCLU_LU@h tmilc m

ANGLAIS:
UNACCOSTUMED EARTH-jhumpa lahiri: (Social Life-Quest for Happiness)
“I didn’t think such violent things could happen to ordinary people.” With
quiet artistry and tender sympathy, Lahiri creates an impressive range of
vivid characters showing that the place to which you feel the strongest
attachment isn’t necessarily the country you’re tied to by birth: it’s the
place that allows you to become yourself. Engrossing stories that replenish
the classical schemes of domestic realism: career, family and loneliness.

 Serment d'Hippocrate
Rappelons-Nous!
« Au moment d'être admis à exercer la médecine, je promets et je jure d'être fidèle aux
lois de l'honneur et de la probité.
Mon premier souci sera de rétablir, de préserver ou de promouvoir la santé dans tous ses
éléments, physiques et mentaux, individuels et sociaux.
Je respecterai toutes les personnes, leur autonomie et leur volonté, sans aucune
discrimination selon leur état ou leur convictions. J'interviendrai pour les protéger si elles
sont affaiblies, vulnérables ou menacées dans leur intégrité ou leur dignité. Même sous
la contrainte, je ne ferai pas usage de mes connaissances contre les lois de l'humanité.
J'informerai les patients des décisions envisagées, de leur raisons et de leurs
conséquences. Je ne tromperai jamais leur confiance et n'exploiterai pas le pouvoir hérité
des circonstances pour forcer les consciences.
Je donnerai mes soins à l'indigent et à quiconque me le demandera. Je ne me laisserai pas
influencer par la soif du gain ou la recherche de la gloire.
Admis dans l'intimité des personnes, je tairai les secrets qui me seront confiés. Reçu à
l'intérieur des maisons, je respecterai les secrets des foyers et ma conduite ne servira pas
à corrompre les mœurs.
Je ferai tout pour soulager les souffrances. Je ne prolongerai pas abusivement les agonies.
Je ne provoquerai jamais la mort délibérément.
Je préserverai l'indépendance nécessaire à l'accomplissement de ma mission.
Je n'entreprendrai rien qui dépasse mes compétences. Je les entretiendrai et les
perfectionnerai pour assurer au mieux les services qui me seront demandés.
J'apporterai mon aide à mes confrères ainsi qu'à leurs familles dans l'adversité.
Que les hommes et mes confrères m'accordent leur estime si je suis fidèle à mes
promesses ; que je sois déshonoré et méprisé si j'y manque. »
