Abstract

Malaria is one of the leading causes of disease and death worldwide. Around 2.4 billion people are at risk of malaria. In Indonesia, malaria is still a serious public health problem and is often found outside Java and Bali. The risk of malaria is determined by many factors, especially the type of Anopheles mosquito species, human behavior, and the presence of malaria parasites. A change of any of the factors will affect the risk of malaria. The purpose of this study is to see an overview of the problem of malaria the factors that cause malaria and how to prevent and treat malaria in Indonesia and the world. This research method is a descriptive observational study using a literature review design, with databases Google Scholar. The search results that meet the criteria are then analyzed for articles. Malaria is still a disease with high cases in Indonesia every year. Malaria can occur due to several factors. These factors are behavioral factors and community attitudes (night activities, use of mosquito repellent, use of mosquito nets), home environment factors (existence of cattle pens, presence of bushes, and presence of watery rice fields); physical environmental factors of the house (temperature, humidity, the presence of wires in the ventilation, the presence of the ceiling of the house, and the density of the walls of the house).

Abstract

Health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being that enables every individual to lead a socially and economically productive life. One of the initial efforts in treatment is the practice of self-medication. Self-medication is the independent use of medication without supervision or direct consultation with a health professional, with the aim of addressing health complaints experienced. The purpose of this study was to examine the description and risk factors of self-medication in Indonesia and globally. This research method is a descriptive observational study using a literature review design, with the following databases: Wiley Online Library, PubMed, and ScienceDirect From 2021 to 2025, a total of 25 articles were reviewed. The search strategy for articles in Wiley Online Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect used four keywords: "Self-medication"; "Drugs"; "Remote Areas"; and Risk Factors." Search results that met the criteria were then subjected to article analysis. Self-medication is common in various parts of the world, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare. This practice is increasingly prevalent in Indonesia, particularly in remote areas such as border and coastal areas. These areas face numerous challenges, including difficult-to-reach locations, limited healthcare facilities, and a shortage of medical personnel. These conditions encourage people to self-medicate without the supervision of healthcare professionals. This self-medication practice carries significant potential risks, such as inappropriate medication use, which can lead to increased drug resistance and other health problems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors influencing self-medication in remote areas to effectively mitigate its negative effects.
