Abstract
Background Responsible self-medication empowers people to prevent and treat minor ailments, thus reducing pressure on limited health resources. Community-based learning was designed to improve community knowledge on self-medication as part of “Intelligent Community Movement Using Drugs” (GeMa CerMat), a national health program in Indonesia. Objective: To evaluate knowledge gain of community cadres participating in a community-based training performed in Indonesia. Methods: A 2-day training was delivered across 4 East Javan districts/cities (Ngawi, Blitar, Nganjuk, Sumenep) in 2016: day-1, training of trainers; and day-2, training of cadres. Approximately 30 cadres were invited in each site. A 20-question true/false test, based on the previously developed self-medication module, was completed by the cadres before and after the training. Cadres’ knowledge improvement was determined using pre-and post-test scores, absolute gain and relative gain (with 95% confidence interval). Results: A total of 129 cadres were involved: Blitar (n=23), Nganjuk (n=37), Ngawi (n=31), Sumenep (n=38). Mean test scores for all participating cadres significantly improved from 14.11 (pre-test) to 15.70 (post-test) after the training (p<0.001). There was a significant increase between pre- and post-test results for each site, with the highest improvement seen for Ngawi (14.97 to 17.04; p<0.001). The average total absolute gain and relative gain were 1.85 (95% CI 1.29 – 2.39) and 21% (95% CI 10 – 33%), respectively. Conclusions The community-based learning had a positive impact on the knowledge gain of cadres. This training is an effective strategy for teaching responsible self-medication. Further follow-up is needed to develop strategies to reach lay/illiterate people.
