Júlia Maria Guilherme Ribeiro Antunes. pp. 19-30
Abstract
Throughout our lives, people has health and disease, we find medicalization problems, which coexist with self-medication practices in growing, in contexts of increasing comorbidity, and iatrogenesis.
The consumption of drugs is present throughout this phenomenology and has not stopped growing in our societies, which are oriented towards an increasingly later age of its elements, leading to the emergence of increasingly important chronic diseases old and new: all years in Europe will die around 197,000 people due to secondary effects of medicines in France represent the first cause of hospitalization, and those involved in central nervous system the most frequently involved.
To better understand the health practices of university students were surveyed 502 students of health care which surprisingly show good judgment, critical spirit and even practices consistent with the quaternary prevention.
Keywords: Quaternary Prevention, Medicalization, Automedication.
