Abstract

Self-medication is the practice of treating minor illnesses or health complaints using non-prescription medicines. While convenient and efficient, self-medication undertaken without adequate knowledge can lead to errors in drug selection, dosage, administration, storage, and disposal, as well as delays in seeking professional medical help. This educational outreach activity aimed to enhance public knowledge regarding the safe, appropriate, and responsible use of medicines. The event was held at the Berinding Village Office in Kopang District as part of the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) of Group 34, Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram. A total of 28 participants, comprising adult and elderly community members, attended the session. The program included an initial pre-test assessment, an interactive presentation, a Q&A session, and a final post-test. The material covered the benefits and risks of self-medication, principles of proper medication use, the DAGUSIBU method (a national guideline for obtaining, using, storing, and disposing of medicines), rational antibiotic use, and warning signs requiring professional medical attention. The participants' average score significantly improved from 52.50 on the pre-test to 91.07 on the post-test. This substantial increase demonstrates a clear enhancement in medication literacy following the intervention, representing a crucial first step toward fostering rational drug use within the community.
