Factors influencing their medication-taking behavior were also explored. Data were collected by way of a face-to face interview survey through a ran-dom sample of 401 persons over 65 years of age, and were analyzed using SPSS com-puter software. The sample included two groups of people, one residing in an urban community and the other in a rural community. The results revealed information on the following kinds of medication behavior: self- medication, using non-prescription medica-tions, sharing medications, forgetting to take medications, misusing medications, being non-compliant, using multi-medications, hoarding medications , and combining Western medications with traditional therapies. In comparing the differences between the urban and rural elderly, the urban elderly had more accurate medication knowledge and dis-played better medication-taking behavior. An elderly person’s age, gender, education le- vel, marital status, living status and health belief were found to affect his/her medication knowledge and behavior. Education of both health care professionals and the general public is urgently needed to ensure the safety of taking medication by the elderly. |
