ABSTRACT
 Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the stress experienced by adolescents in relation to their academic expectations and the use of nonprescription products. Material and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional research design was employed. Simple randomization was utilized to select the participants who included 707 students from science, social science, vocational, and Anatolian high schools. The participants completed the Adolescent Information Form, Academic Expectations Stress Inventory (AESI), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Results: No significant statistical relationship was found in any of the subscales of the MSPSS and AESI (p>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed usage of red/green prescribed medication, nonprescription medication, and medication acquired from friends was high among those participants who were unable to talk about their problems to their families. Considering the relationship between environmental factors and adolescent's nonprescription medication usage; presence of friends using medication, vitamin supplements, and nonprescription medication product use was found to increase the risk of nonprescription medication usage among the participants. Furthermore, usage of nonprescription medication was high among those who attended science and Anatolian high schools. Conclusion: Approximately 10% of adolescents was consumed tea/coffee above the daily safe dose. The use of products in the immediate vicinity was increased the risk of vitamin supplement use. Test anxiety was increased the risk of usage of nonprescription medication. School type and grade level were effective for adolescents usage of nonprescription drugs, drugs acquired from friends and take vitamin supplements.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, ergenlerin akademik beklentilerine göre yaşadıkları stres ile reçetesiz ürün kullanımı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Analitik bir kesitsel araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Fen, sosyal bilimler, meslek liseleri ve anadolu liselerinden 707 öğrenci yer almış ve katılımcıları belirlemede basit randomizasyon kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar; Ergen Bilgi Formu, Akademik Beklentiler Stres Envanteri [Academic Expectations Stress Inventory (AESI)] ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeğini [Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)] doldurmuştur. Bulgular: MSPSS ve AESI alt ölçeklerinin hiçbirinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizi, sorunları hakkında aileleriyle konuşamayan katılımcılar arasında kırmızı/yeşil reçeteli ilaç, reçetesiz ilaç ve arkadaşlarından alınan ilaç kullanımının yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çevresel faktörler ile gençlerin ilaç kullanımlarının ilişkisine bakıldığında, ilaç kullanan arkadaş varlığının reçetesiz ilaç kullanımı, vitamin takviyesi kullanımı ve ilaç dışı ürün kullanımı riskini artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Yakın çevresinde ürün kullanımının gençlerde vitamin takviyesi kullanımı riskini artırdığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca fen ve Anadolu liselerine devam edenlerde reçetesiz ilaç kullanımının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Ergenlerin yaklaşık %10'u günlük güvenli dozun üzerinde çay/kahve tüketmektedir. Yakın çevrede kullanılıyor olması vitamin takviyesi kullanım riskini, sınav kaygısının ise reçetesiz ilaç kullanma riskini artırdığı bulunmuştur. Okul türü ve sınıf düzeyi ergenlerin reçetesiz ilaç kullanımlarını, arkadaşlarından ilaç almalarını ve vitamin takviyesi kullanımlarını etkilemektedir.
