Edukasi swamedikasi rasional bagi masyarakat Desa Wonorejo
Abstract
Abstrak
Swamedikasi merupakan salah satu bentuk pengobatan mandiri yang sering dilakukan masyarakat untuk mengatasi keluhan kesehatan ringan. Namun, keterbatasan pengetahuan mengenai penggunaan obat yang tepat dapat meningkatkan risiko kesalahan penggunaan obat dan masalah kesehatan lainnya. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman masyarakat mengenai swamedikasi rasional di Dusun Ceplukan RT 02 RW 17 Desa Wonorejo. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 9 Mei 2026 dengan melibatkan 47 ibu-ibu PKK berusia 25–60 tahun. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah, diskusi, tanya jawab, demonstrasi, dan pembagian leaflet edukasi. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner pre-test dan post-test. Hasil uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk menunjukkan data tidak berdistribusi normal (p=0,016), sehingga analisis dilanjutkan dengan uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan nilai rata-rata pengetahuan peserta dari 64,04 sebelum edukasi menjadi 89,36 setelah edukasi. Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai pre-test dan post-test (p=0,000). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa edukasi swamedikasi rasional efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai penggunaan obat yang aman, tepat, dan rasional.

Abstract
Self-medication is a common practice used by the community to manage minor health complaints independently. However, limited knowledge regarding the proper use of medicines may increase the risk of medication errors and other health-related problems. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and understanding of rational self-medication among residents of Ceplukan Hamlet RT 02 RW 17, Wonorejo Village. The activity was conducted on May 9, 2026, involving 47 members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) aged 25–60 years. The educational intervention consisted of lectures, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, demonstrations, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Participants’ knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The results of the Shapiro–Wilk normality test indicated that the data were not normally distributed (p = 0.016); therefore, further analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The evaluation results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 64.04 before the educational intervention to 89.36 after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (p= 0.000). These findings indicate that rational self-medication education was effective in improving community knowledge regarding the safe, appropriate, and rational use of medicines.
