Dicha práctica gira en torno a la más vaga concepción de autocuidado o preservación del bienestar biológico de la persona, de la prevención de la enfermedad y de la promoción de la salud. Sin embargo, puede ser tan perjudicial como el hecho de no tratar las condiciones que representan una amenaza para la salud. Este hecho da lugar a que se planteen interrogantes en el ámbito científico. El presente artículo propone presentar el conjunto de variables más frecuentemente estudiadas en la literatura científica, desde el 2000 hasta la actualidad, sobre el comportamiento de automedicación. Se llega pues a dos tipos de conclusiones de esta revisión bibliométrica: reafirmar el establecimiento global del fenómeno de la automedicación y conocer la tendencia constante de variables ceñidas a este comportamiento, de alto riesgo para la persona que lo practica.Universidad de Lima2018-07-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/199010.26439/persona2018.n021.1990Persona; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2018); 31-79Persona; Vol. 21 Núm. 1 (2018); 31-79Persona; v. 21 n. 1 (2018); 31-792309-90621560-613910.26439/persona2018.n021reponame:Revistas - Universidad de Limainstname:Universidad de Limainstacron:ULIMAspahttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/1990/2073https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.ulima.edu.pe:article/19902025-04-04T21:50:01Z
