TINGKAT PENGETAHUAN MASYARAKAT MUARATAIS II TENTANG DAGUSIBU (DAPATKAN, GUNAKAN, SIMPAN, BUANG) OBAT

Abstract

Various health issues, especially those related to drugs, are still found in the Muaratais II Village Community. A number of drug-related problems can arise due to public ignorance about how to use and handle drugs properly. DAGUSIBU (Get, Use, Save, Throw Away) is an initiative of the Drug Awareness Family Movement to increase public understanding and awareness about the proper use of drugs. Based on the data obtained, mothers in Muaratais II Village have not received information about DAGUSIBU, so it is necessary to conduct socialization about DAGUSIBU. The purpose of the socialization is to measure the knowledge (good, sufficient, and lacking) of the community about the drug DAGUSIBU and to be able to influence the level of community knowledge about the drug DAGUSIBU. The methods applied in this activity include identifying problems, implementing DAGUSIBU socialization through counseling, interactive discussions, and distributing DAGUSIBU leaflets. The attendance rate of participants was recorded at 45.3%. The participants were very enthusiastic about listening to the explanation about the use of drugs and how to handle them. This can support the implementation of the KKN student program group 09 Muaratais II Village in improving health services for the community. This socialization is to increase public understanding regarding proper drug management, so that it is hoped that they can apply the knowledge they have gained in their family and community environments
