Based on a study by Iskandar et al. (2022), 67.03% of the population purchased non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), showing that NSAIDs are relatively well known. However, these drugs carry risks of side effects. Spetaniuk et al. (2016) reported 1,460 cases of NSAID-related side effects in Ukraine in 2015 (94.4%). At Srandakan Farma Pharmacy, repeated NSAID purchases exceeding one strip and side effect complaints were also noted, yet patients continued usage.
This study aims to describe the level of patient knowledge regarding oral NSAID use at Srandakan Farma Pharmacy. It employed a descriptive observational method with purposive sampling involving 62 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Guttman scale, where correct answers scored 1 and incorrect answers scored 0. The percentage scores were used to classify knowledge levels as good, moderate, or poor.
The results showed that 15% of patients had good knowledge, 58% moderate, and 27% poor. It can be concluded that the overall patient knowledge regarding oral NSAID use at Srandakan Farma Pharmacy falls into the moderate category.
