Abstract

Meanwhile, smoking is seen as a negative behavior, which can also cause a double burden, both in terms of increased expenditure also has a negative effect on health. This study aims to describe self-medication behavior among smokers in Indonesia and the determinants that influence it. This study is a quantitative study using secondary data from the Indonesia National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2017. The observation unit is individuals, and the sample criteria are smokers with the probability of doing self-medication due to health problems. The number of analyzed samples was 53.317 respondents. Descriptive analysis is used to see the prevalence of self-medication among smokers. Logistic regression is used to see the determinants that influence a smoker's decision to make self-medication. The results of the follow-up analysis showed that most smokers did Swamedikasi (75.99%). The level of education (p=0,005) and ownership of health (p=0,000) insurance has a significant effect on self-medicated behavior. Through this research, it is expected to be material for learning and advocating about behavior in seeking treatment for smokers.
