旅遊是一種心靈放鬆的享受，一趟無憂無慮無牽無掛的旅遊該是心所嚮往的，也因此旅遊前的規劃、旅程設計就顯得非常重要，旅遊前必須考慮到當地可能發生的疫情及可能影響本身疾病之健康，避免非必要疾病產生，並能顧慮到本身既有慢性疾病，隨身備齊必要藥品，避免造成旅程不便及醫療、用藥風險。 雖然旅遊業者可以提供旅遊者健康方面的協助與建議，但是清楚了解目的地的環境，以及旅遊者本身疾病，事先採取必要的預防措施，做好旅遊前藥品準備，避免疾病意外發生，並減少旅程用藥風險是每一位旅遊者的責任。 研究結果發現旅遊備藥以41歲開始關注並以健康動機為前提，在用藥行為上不因收入多寡而有所差異，出國次數越多、備藥經驗越豐富，但用藥觀念並未隨出國次數增加而增加。超過5成民眾備藥資訊來源是遵從藥師建議，顯示社區藥局藥師不管是在旅遊備藥資訊提供或是備藥動機及用藥行為各構面諮詢，都是民眾最值得信賴的用藥安全守門人；還有備藥動機與用藥行為是相輔相成，用藥行為之用藥知識越豐富其對備藥動機之知識、健康、經濟就特別重視。 Traveling helps people relax both in spirit and body. A wonderful trip with nothing to worry about is what travelers really want. Therefore, preparations are key to securing carefree travel. Before departure, travelers not only have to carefully make a travel design, but also have to prepare medication for potential illness or epidemics as well as for any pre-existing conditions that are to threat their health during the trip. Then, they are sure to have a nice trip and can reduce medical risks with most of the medication they need on hand. Although travel agencies can and should offer travelers assistance and suggestions with individual health care, it is ultimately travelers who have to take responsibility to figure out the environments they are planning to visit in order to take care of any chronic illnesses on their own, and to take precautions, like anticipating what medications they may require, to avoid potential health hazards. The results of the study show that People, at the age of 41, start to pay attention to medication preparation for travel based on the premise of health. Medication taking behavior has nothing to do with people's income but has something to do with the travel experience, the more times they have been abroad the more experiences they have in medication preparation. Medication taking knowledge has not been promoted by the times people travel abroad. More than 50 percent of people get the information to prepare medication from pharmacists' suggestions, showing that community pharmacists are the most reliable resource and safety guards for people's medication preparation and medication taking. Besides, medication preparation motive goes hand in hand with medication taking behavior, the more knowledge people have in medication preparation and taking the more stress they would put on their own health.
