Abstract
Self-medication is a person’s attempt to self-treat themself. In previous studies, it has been stated that the level of knowledge of students regarding self-medication of antacid drugs is lacking, so education is needed to increase students’ knowledge of how to carry out self-medication properly. Slide media is an educational tool that can be more effective than leaflets for health promotion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education using slide media on students’ knowledge about self-medication of antacid drugs at the Luhur Islamic Boarding School in Malang City. This was quantitative research with a pre-experimental method and one-group pretest-posttest research design. The sampling was carried out non-randomly with the number of samples determined by the Slovin formula, and 68 respondents were selected. Respondents filled out the pretest to determine their knowledge of antacid self-medication, then education on the subject was given by using PowerPoint slides and respondents were given a posttest afterwards. The findings showed that education about self-medication of antacid drugs using slide media had a significant effect on students’ knowledge at the Luhur Islamic Boarding School.
