Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the physical health and common diseases of college students through medication in the outpatient department of the Chenggong Campus of Yunnan Normal University, and support the hospital to better serve both students and teachers. The prescriptions were counted based on the defined daily dose analysis in 2021 using the prescriptions from the pharmacy and the computerized management system of the pharmacy in the outpatient department of the Chenggong Campus of Yunnan Normal University. Prescriptions were highest in March and September, thus more in the second half than in the first half of the semester, and significantly less in the holidays. The measured values of the annual dose of medicine consumption of the four disparity indices of CV, T, GE, and A were: 1.8613, 0.4247, 0.5058, and 0.4185, respectively, and the Global Differentiation Index was 0.8026. The kernel density curve of annual drug consumption showed the coexistence of primary and secondary peaks, the defined daily dose system curve of actual medication frequency showed “wave-like” characteristics, and the primary peak was sharper than the two others. The monthly medication analysis provides a clearer picture of the health status, common diseases, and consultation rules of college students, thereby indicating that the common diseases of college students are respiratory system diseases and digestive system diseases, and the medication has cyclical characteristics. Thus, this study provides a basis for precise service of college students’ health and reasonable arrangement of drug provision.
