To figure out problems through analyzing the status for self-medication in China and to provide references for further research. Methods: Papers related to self-medication were collected from Chinese journal net database, Wanfang database, VIP database and China biomedical literature database (CBMDisc). A literature metrology analysis was carried out by NoteExpress 2.0 and Excel. Results: A total of 161 papers were included in this study, while 33 papers belong to Hubei and Jiangsu Province, accounting for 20.50% of the total amount of the papers. 22 papers were from journals as follows: China Pharmacy, Medicine and Society and Chinese Journal of Pharmacoepidemiology, accounting for 13.67% of the total papers. 118 papers belong to research and experience discuss, accounting for 73.29% of all. The cooperation degree was 2.37, and 28 papers were funded. Domestic research reflected the current status of self-medication in our country. Although self-medication brought convenience for residents and reduce the burden on health system, it also brought a series of safety problems. Conclusion: Self-medication gradually catches the attention of the researchers. Some researchers have paid attention to self medication, but the evidence is at a low level. Researchers should strengthen cooperation with interagency and carry out experimental study to promote further development for self-medication.
目的：分析国内自我药疗的研究，明确目前的现状及存在的问题，为进一步研究提供参考。方法：检索中国期刊网数据库、万方数据库、维普数据库、中国生物医学文献数据库中自我药疗研究的相关文献，利用NoteExpress 2.0和Excel软件对文献进行文献计量学分析。结果：共纳入161篇文献，相关文献的发文量大体呈现逐年上升趋势；湖北、江苏两地区发文较多，共33篇，占总发文量的20.50%；收录文献较多的期刊是《中国药房》《医学与社会》和《药物流行病学杂志》，3种期刊共收录文献22篇，占总文献数13.67%；文献类型主要为调查研究类和经验探讨类，共118篇，占总发文量的73.29%；文献合作度为2.37；有28篇文献获得资金资助。同时国内研究反映出当前我国居民自我药疗的现状，自我药疗既能够给居民带来便利，减轻医疗系统负担，也会带来一系列安全隐患。结论：自我药疗现象具有两面性，并且逐渐受到研究者关注，但国内总体文献的证据级别较低。研究者应加强机构间的合作，开展实验研究，以促进自我药疗研究的深入发展。.
