Joint pain is a common health complaint in the community and is frequently treated at home with over-the-counter pain relievers that can be found at pharmacies. Self-medication habits that are not based on sufficient understanding might result in improper medication usage. The goal of this study was to assess the correlation between patients' level of understanding and the correctness of medication usage for self-treatment of joint discomfort at the Sari Dewi Maguwo Pharmacy in Sleman. The methodology adopted an analytical observational approach through a cross-sectional design. Using a purposive sampling method, 90 participants were chosen in all. Data collection in this study utilized a structured questionnaire previously validated for reliability and validity. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed on the data, employing the chi-square statistical test as the primary method and Fisher's exact test as an alternative. According to the findings, the majority of survey participants had a respectable degree of knowledge (71%) and proper medication usage (90%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0. 000 (p < 0. 05), demonstrating a strong link between patients' understanding and the correctness of drug use in self-medicating for joint discomfort. These results demonstrate the crucial role that pharmacists play in educating patients about medications to promote rational and safe drug use, indicating that improved patient understanding is linked to more appropriate self-medication behavior.
