Abstract
Background: Medicines are one of the most important tools for improving and
maintaining health, and they can save lives. Adolescence is an important time
to address medication beliefs because many of these concepts can persist into
adulthood, affecting adherence and willingness to continue taking a
prescription. Adolescents with a low level of knowledge may be at risk for
health problems and a difficult transition from childhood to adulthood. To
clarify misconceptions and improve students' medication practices, educational
activities are necessary. The current study was aimed to assess knowledge,
attitude and practice about medicines among school children of age group 12-16
years. Methods: This is an educational interventional study. The
children’s attending private school, at Bagalkot were interviewed individually
with a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire Results: In basal
assessment, the mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores were found to be
9.11±0.11, 5.72± 0.83 and 6.92 ± 0.05 respectively. However, there was
significant difference (p = 0.0001) between pre and post study of knowledge,
attitude and practice towards medicine. Conclusions: This type of study
will help to improve their insight towards medicine in school children.
