Abstract

Background: Improper pharmaceutical waste management can lead to various health and environmental problems, including drug misuse, poisoning, and environmental pollution. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge among outpatients at Prof. Dr. Soerojo Mental Hospital Magelang regarding pharmaceutical waste management. Methods: This study used an observational method with a cross-sectional approach using a questionnaire administered to 47 outpatients selected by purposive sampling at Prof. Dr. Soerejo Mental Hospital Magelang. Data were analyzed descriptively using percentages. Results: The results showed that all respondents (100%) knew that damaged or expired drugs should be discarded. However, knowledge regarding proper drug and packaging disposal methods was still low. A total of 93.61% of respondents stated that damaged drugs could be disposed of directly with their packaging, 57.44% stated that syrup drugs could be disposed of into drainage, and only 25.53% knew that tablets/capsules should be crushed before disposal. All respondents (100%) did not know that drug bottles should be destroyed before disposal. Based on the knowledge score, 74.47% of respondents had a low level of knowledge, 25.53% had a moderate level of knowledge, and none had a good level of knowledge. Conclusion: Outpatients at Prof. Dr. Soerejo Mental Hospital Magelang had a low level of knowledge regarding pharmaceutical waste management. Although all respondents knew that damaged or expired drugs should be discarded, most respondents did not understand the proper methods for disposing of drugs and their packaging. Continuous education through pharmacist counseling and the DAGUSIBU program is needed to improve patients' knowledge of proper pharmaceutical waste management.
