Edukasi Mahasiswa Keperawatan Penggunaan Obat Rasional Swamedikasi
Abstract
Background: Self-medication is a common practice in the community, but a lack of knowledge about rational self-medication can lead to irrational drug use and health risks.
Purpose: To determine the effect of self-medication education on the level of rational self-medication knowledge of nursing students.
Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. Thirty-one seventh-semester nursing students were selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Respondents' knowledge levels were measured using a 12-question self-medication knowledge questionnaire. The self-medication education intervention was delivered through a lecture method, accompanied by the distribution of booklets after the completion of the study as a long-term learning tool.
Results: The pre-test showed that respondents' knowledge levels regarding rational self-medication were below the maximum level in the domains of drug classification, drug use, and drug storage. After the education, respondents' knowledge scores improved. The Wilcoxon test results showed that 93.55% of respondents experienced an increase in knowledge scores, with a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = -4.706; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Self-medication education significantly improved knowledge of rational self-medication among nursing students.
Keywords: Education; Nursing Students; Rational Drug Use; Self-Medication.
Pendahuluan: Swamedikasi merupakan praktik yang banyak dilakukan di masyarakat, namun kurangnya pengetahuan swamedikasi rasional dapat menyebabkan penggunaan obat yang tidak rasional dan berisiko terhadap kesehatan.
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi swamedikasi terhadap tingkat pengetahuan swamedikasi rasional mahasiswa keperawatan.
Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain pra-eksperimental dengan pendekatan one-group pretest-posttest. Jumlah responden sebanyak 31 mahasiswa keperawatan semester VII yang dipilih menggunakan teknik proportional random sampling. Tingkat pengetahuan responden diukur menggunakan kuisioner tingkat pengetahuan terhadap swamedikasi berisi 12 pertanyaan. Intervensi Edukasi swamedikasi diberikan melalui metode ceramah disertai dengan pembagian booklet setelah rangkain penelitian selesai sebagai media pembelajaran jangka panjang.
Hasil: Pretest menunjukkan tingkat pengetahuan swamedikasi rasional responden menunjukkan tingkat pengetahuan awal yang belum mencapai skor maksimal pada domain penggolongan obat, penggunaan obat, dan penyimpanan obat. Setelah dilakukan edukasi terjadi peningkatan skor pengetahuan pada responden. Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan bahwa 93.55% responden mengalami peningkatan skor pengetahuan dengan perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistic antara nilai pretest dan posttest (Z = -4.706; p < 0.0001).
Simpulan: Edukasi swamedikasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan swamedikasi rasional pada mahasiswa keperawatan.
