Cilj ovog ispitivanja bio je utvrditi sklonost trudnica korištenju biljnih pripravaka za vanjsku i unutarnju primjenu i prikupiti njihove stavove i uvjerenja o sigurnosti, učinkovitosti i dostupnosti biljnih pripravaka u usporedbi s konvencionalnim lijekovima, te utvrditi načine informiranja o biljnim pripravcima. Kod trudnica koje su tijekom trudnoće koristile biljne pripravke, cilj je bio prikupiti podatke o tome u kojem su ih tromjesečju i koliko često u prosjeku koristile, prema čijoj preporuci, jesu li s time upoznale svog ginekologa te gdje su bili kupljeni i za koje smetnje i/ili namjene su bili korišteni koji biljni pripravci. U tu svrhu korišten je anketni upitnik koji su prije trudničkog pregleda na Odjelu za ginekologiju i porodništvo Opće bolnice Zabok i bolnice hrvatskih veterana u Zaboku ispunile ukupno 102 trudnice. Dobiveni rezultati ukazali su na to da je 56 % ispitanica, od kojih je većina bila s područja Krapinsko-zagorske županije, koristilo biljne pripravke tijekom trudnoće. Mnoge od njih koristile su ih svakodnevno (27 %) ili više od dva puta tjedno (20 %), najčešće bez preporuke (55 %), a često i bez znanja svog ginekologa (48 %). Iako se većina ispitanica nije smatrala dovoljno informiranima o biljnim pripravcima koji se smiju koristiti u trudnoći, 60 % svih trudnica vjerovalo je da su biljni pripravci sigurni za korištenje u trudnoći te sigurniji od konvencionalnih lijekova. Ispitanice su biljne pripravke najčešće koristile kod suhog i nadražajnog kašlja, problema sa suhom kožom, infekcija mokraćnog sustava, grlobolje te mučnine i povraćanja. Najčešće korištena biljna vrsta bio je badem, a navelo ga je 50 % trudnica koje su koristile biljne pripravke i to isključivo za vanjsku primjenu, dok su manje zastupljeni đumbir (27 %), brusnica (25 %), kamilica (23 %) i bijeli sljez (12,5 %) bili u pravilu korišteni za unutarnju primjenu. Kao najpouzdaniji izvor informacija o biljnim pripravcima trudnice su u najvećoj mjeri navodile liječnika (55 %) i ljekarnika (47 %), a najveći udio ispitanica naveo je i da biljne pripravke kupuju upravo u ljekarnama (52 %). Zato je na liječnicima i ljekarnicima odgovornost pripadnicama ove posebno osjetljive populacije pružati pravovremene i potpune informacije o biljnim lijekovima i biljnim pripravcima, a kako bi se izbjegli mogući rizici te osigurala njihova sigurna i učinkovita primjena.
Abstract (english) In view of potential adverse effects of the use of certain plant species during pregnancy, knowledge about the frequency and habits of using herbal medicines and preparations during pregnancy is important for all healthcare professionals who provide care to pregnant women. The aim of this study was to determine the tendencies of pregnant women to use herbal preparations for external and internal use and to collect their views and beliefs on the safety, efficacy and availability of herbal preparations in comparison to conventional drugs, as well as to determine their ways of informing about herbal preparations. The aim was to collect data on the trimester in which pregnant women had been using herbal preparations and how often on average, according to whose recommendation, whether their gynecologist had been informed about it or not, where the herbal preparations were bought and for which disturbances and/or for what purpose was each of them used. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used, which was filled out before the medical examination at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the General Hospital Zabok and the Hospital of Croatian Veterans in Zabok by a total of 102 pregnant women. The obtained results indicated that 56% of the respondents, most of whom were from Krapina-Zagorje County, had been using herbal preparations during pregnancy. Many of them used them on a daily basis (27%) or more than twice per week (20%), usually without recommendation (55%), and often without the knowledge of their gynecologist (48%). Although most respondents did not think of themselves as being sufficiently informed about herbal preparations that may be used during pregnancy, 60% of all pregnant women believed that herbal preparations were safe to use during pregnancy and safer than conventional drugs. The respondents most often used herbal preparations for dry and irritating cough, dry skin problems, urinary tract infections, sore throat as well as nausea and vomiting. The most commonly used plant species was almond, which was mentioned by 50% of pregnant women that had been using herbal preparations, exclusively for external use, while less represented ginger (27%), cranberry (25%), chamomile (23%) and marsh mallow (12,5%) were mainly used internally. Physicians (55%) and pharmacists (47%) were cited by pregnant women as the most reliable providers of information on herbal preparations, and the largest share of respondents also stated that they were buying herbal preparations in pharmacies (52%). It is therefore the responsibility of physicians and pharmacists to provide members of this particularly sensitive population with timely and complete information on herbal medicines and herbal preparations in order to avoid possible risks and to ensure their safe and effective use.
