Based on a preliminary study conducted by researchers on 38 UNTAG students, it was found that 33 out of 38 female students admitted to using laxative drugs as an alternative to maintain the perception of body image in order to feel ideal during the pandemic. This study aims to determine the relationship between laxative abuse and body image among UNTAG students during the pandemic. From a population of 771 female students, about 60 female students were taken to become subjects in this study. Taking the subject begins with determining the criteria.
