The antibiotics utilization for ARI in 2006 reached 89.8%. Some efforts have been conducted to improve rational drug utilization at the public health centers but it is still far from intended goal. Hence, through this study, it is conducted a self-monitoring intervention as an effort to decrease antibiotics utilization toward ARI treatment at the public health centers. Objective. This study was conducted to evident whether self-monitoring intervention can decrease antibiotics utilization and polypharmaceutical for ARI treatment, by using parameters of patient those treated with antibiotics and a mean of drugs per presciption (polypharmaceutical). Method. This is an quasy-experimental study by non-randomized pretestpostes control group design. The analysis unit is some public health centers.

It was then tabulated and analyzed by statistical Kruskal-Willis Test and Mann-Whitney Test. Results. After self-monitoring intervention conducted, the treatment group yielded a decreased numbers of antibiotics utilization from 69.2% (before) to 31.7% (after) intervention (reduced 54.2%), and the polypharmaceutical was decreased from 4.8 (before) to 4.3 (after) intervention (reduced 10.4%). For the control group, there was no decreased number occured, in contrary, it found an increased number of antibiotics utilization from 64.7% (before) to 67.7% (after) intervention given (increased to 4.4%), and also similarly, the polypharmaceutical was also increased from 4.8 (before) to 5 (after) interventian given (increased to 4%) Conclusion.
