Abstract

Swamedikasi atau pengobatan mandiri sering kali menjadi langkah awal yang diambil masyarakat untuk mengatasi keluhan kesehatan ringan sebelum mendatangi fasilitas kesehatan. Namun, praktik ini kerap diiringi oleh rendahnya tingkat literasi terkait pemilihan obat yang tepat, ketepatan dosis, pemahaman efek samping, hingga cara pembuangan obat yang benar. Kondisi tersebut juga ditemukan di daerah Waibron, di mana akses terhadap informasi kefarmasian yang komprehensif masih terbatas. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan masyarakat Waibron dalam melakukan swamedikasi secara aman dan rasional melalui pendekatan edukasi langsung. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi sosialisasi interaktif, penyuluhan menggunakan media visual (poster dan leaflet), serta diskusi tanya jawab interaktif serta pemahaman logo golongan obat. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta yang diukur melalui pre-test dan post-test, di mana masyarakat menjadi lebih teliti dalam membaca informasi pada kemasan obat, mengenali tanda peringatan pada obat bebas dan obat bebas terbatas, serta menyadari pentingnya menghindari penggunaan obat keras tanpa resep dokter. Program ini terbukti efektif dalam memberdayakan masyarakat Waibron agar lebih mandiri dan bijak dalam menjaga kesehatan keluarga melalui swamedikasi yang aman dan cerdas.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence and requires long-term adherence to therapy to prevent complications. Treatment adherence in diabetes patients remains a challenge, influenced in part by the patient's level of knowledge about the disease and its treatment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and adherence to medication therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Harapan Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency. This study used a non-experimental quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 50 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients selected using a total sampling technique. The research instruments used were the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire-24 (DKQ-24) to measure the level of knowledge and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) to measure medication adherence. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05 . The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (54%) and a moderate level of medication adherence (48%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and adherence to medication therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (p = 0.000). Respondents with a high level of knowledge tended to have better medication adherence.
