Abstract
Traditional medicines are commonly used in the community. One type of
traditional medicines that is popular among people is "jamu". "Jamu" can be
made from plants, animals, minerals, or a mixture of them that has been used
for generations based on empiric experience. This study aimed to describe
perceptions of the use of traditional medicines for self-medication among
people in Dieng Plateau, Kejajar, Wonosobo, Central Java Province. This is a
descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Respondents were adults more
than 18 years old who had experience in using traditional medicines and were
selected with non-random accidental sampling. Thirty-one (31) respondents
signed informed consent. Data were collected using an interview guideline
and analyzed using enumerative approach. Most of the respondents used
traditional medicines for self-medication one to five times a month. They
expressed that traditional medicine is like "Jamu", primarily liquid, with
limited or no side effects. Traditional medicine was mostly obtained from
local groceries at affordable prices. Most of the respondents have a
positive attitude towards the use of traditional medicines. They have the
willingness to use traditional medicines to deal with their symptoms or
minor illnesses. Their satisfaction experience in using traditional medicine
will motivate them to do so in the future. Based on the results, it can be
said that traditional medicines have an important role in the health care
system particularly for self-medication.
