Common cold is a respiratory disease that is often experienced by many people, but the term common cold is not familiar to people so people often do not realize when they are suffering from common cold. Students are one group of people who are vulnerable to the common cold. This research is intended to determine the relationship between students' sociodemographic conditions and students' level of knowledge and perceptions in choosing traditional medicine as self-medication for the common cold.
This research uses a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with the target subjects being active students at Gadjah Mada University. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire using the Google Form platform which was distributed online. The respondents used in this research were 106 students. The results of the questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using the chi-square method in the Jamovi application.
The results of the descriptive analysis in this study show that the majority of respondents have a good level of knowledge regarding the common cold with 68.9% of the total respondents. Then 56.6% of the total respondents had a good perception of traditional medicine. The results of statistical analysis using chi-square show that one of the sociodemographic conditions, namely the faculty cluster, is significantly related to the level of student knowledge regarding the common cold. There was no significant relationship found between sociodemographic conditions and students' perceptions of using traditional medicine. Then there was no significant relationship between the level of knowledge about the common cold and students' perceptions of using traditional medicine. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide input to health workers, especially pharmacists, in increasing education about the common cold and how to deal with it in the community, especially among students.
