Abstract

Improper medication use remains a health issue, particularly among adolescents who often lack knowledge regarding drug classifications and the meaning of packaging logos. This lack of understanding can lead to irrational medication use and pose health risks. This health promotion activity aimed to enhance students' knowledge and awareness of safe medication practices by introducing them to drug classification logos and color codes. The activity was conducted at SMPN 2 Tenggarong Seberang with 29 students from class IX A. Methods included interactive counseling, the distribution of educational leaflets, educational games, and a Q&A session. Evaluation utilized a pre-test/post-test design, with data analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge following the educational intervention, evidenced by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. The Wilcoxon test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of < 0.001, indicating a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention levels. Analysis revealed that the mean pre-test score for the 29 students was 76.21, rising to 94.83 in the post-test following the education session. These findings demonstrate that the health promotion activity was effective in improving students' understanding of drug classifications and packaging logos. In conclusion, educating school-aged children on safe medication practices can serve as a preventive strategy to foster safe, rational, and responsible medication use.
