In treating cold symptoms, Indonesians generally relies on alternative treatments such as herbal medicines. The popularity of the “back to nature” trend has led to the rapid expansion of the Indonesia’s herbal medicine market. However, despite the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) has categorized herbal medicines since 2004, there remains a lack of public awareness regarding this information. This study aims to analyze consumer’s knowledge, preferences, and perceptions of herbal medicines used to treat cold symptoms.
This research adopts a quantitative survey approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 135 respondents was collected using convenience sampling at one time through a questionnaire in Google Form distributed via social media. The data obtained in the Guttman scale was analyzed descriptively to obtain an overview of the knowledge level, preferences, and perceptions of respondents regarding herbal medicines, and a correlation test was conducted to determine the relationship between education level and knowledge, the relationship between knowledge and perception and preference, and the relationship between perception and preference. Knowledge scores were categorized as high if the sample answered ?75% of the questions correctly and low if they answered <75>
Based on the analysis, the majority of respondents (83.70%) chose standardized herbal medicines over traditional herbal medicines, with Tolak Angin being the most popular product (77.04%). In addition, the majority of respondents (52.59%) had a low level of knowledge about herbal medicines, with the low level of knowledge dominated by respondents with a high level of education (58.06%) with a mean score 3.14. The asymptotic significance values of the relationship between education level and knowledge, the relationship between education level and preference, the relationship between knowledge level and preference, the relationship between perception and knowledge level, and the relationship between perception and preference, which were 0,241; 0,254; 0,975; 0.174; and 0,975, respectively, indicate that there is no significant influence between these variables. The findings of this study indicate the need to improve public literacy regarding the classification and regulation of herbal medicines.
