Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar el uso de la práctica de la automedicación durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Métodos: Se adoptará una revisión integradora de la literatura realizada en la plataforma de búsqueda de la Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina y la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, siguiendo los siguientes pasos: 1) definición de la pregunta de investigación; 2) levantamiento bibliográfico; 3) definición de la información seleccionada y categorización de los estudios; 4) evaluación del material seleccionado; 5) interpretación de los resultados. Se espera que los datos de esta investigación nos permitan identificar los factores predominantes de la automedicación durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Resultados: El estudio demostró que los principales factores que influyen en la automedicación durante la pandemia de COVID-19 están relacionados con factores emocionales y socioeconómicos, así como con el tratamiento de los síntomas actuales. Los principales medicamentos utilizados fueron analgésicos, antibióticos, antiparasitarios y vitaminas, además de los conocimientos adquiridos en la medicina tradicional. Consideraciones finales: Los pacientes presentaron como principales factores preponderantes el miedo y la incertidumbre ante la enfermedad, así como la recomendación de amigos y familiares de utilizar la práctica como método profiláctico, por lo que es necesario educar a la población respecto a la práctica de la automedicación.
