Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to get information’s about the female pharmacy students at fourth year pharmacy. Those students are expected to be the most aware and educated students between other students of the faculty of pharmacy, Benghazi university. How did they react with the stress factors during war period especially the sleep disorders to provide updated and effective information’s about this part of the Libyan Community? Material and methods: Questionnaires (self-administered) distributed to 50 female students participating at the fourth year pharmacy 2016-2017, and collected after completion. Participation was voluntary and anonymous, and data were confidential and protected. All data were computer-entered. The questionnaire provided to 50 female pharmacy students, also ensuring representativeness of the study sample. Results: This study shows that 44% of the student sample have subjected to emotional stress during war period, which results subsequently into sleep disturbances. The students sample were not motivated to take hypnotic drugs as a solution for such problem. This authorized to their higher education level at the pharmacology subject and their knowledge of those drug problems starting from the simpler side effects of drowsiness to the addiction and tolerance problem. Additionally, there are 36% of the students subjected to hormonal disturbance accompanied with erratic bowel syndrome and colonic distress in some cases. Those parts of this sample are trying to treat such disorder with taking the herbal (Mentha and Marjoram) and traditional medicine instead of visiting the doctor and take the proper medicine for that. Conclusion: This study reveals that the pharmacy students try to use what they learned as a solution for their own problems and miss the role of physician or psychiatric to solve such problems.
