Objective  To investigate the knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) of drug application among university students in Karamay, to analyze potential risk factors of medication risk.

Methods  Using the convenience sampling method, the basic information, current status of the KAP of medication of university students in Karamay were collected through online and offline questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the influence of different characteristics of the research objects on KAP concerning medication risk.

Results  A total of 948 valid questionnaires were retrieved, the interviewees were mostly aged between 18 and 20 years old (55.06%), females (63.92%) were more than males (36.08%). The mean scores of knowledge, behavior, education and attitude towards medication among university students were (36.17±11.82), (31.04±9.17), (11.66±4.66) and (11.50±3.53) respectively. Most university students had good drug use habits and considered it necessary to acquire knowledge about safe drug use through different ways and forms, but they lacked awareness on safe drug use in terms of purchasing drugs, storing drugs, drug use behavior and drug use education. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the major of study was an influential factor in medication knowledge (P ﹤0.01), with pharmacy majors demonstrating better mastery. It also in medication behavior (P﹤0.01), with pharmacy majors exhibiting more standardized practices. Gender was an influential factor in attitudes toward medication education (P ﹤ 0.05), with females showing more positive attitude.

Conclusion  The knowledge of drug application among university students in the city is relatively good, and they have good medication habits. However, there are shortcomings in their medication behavior and education. It is necessary to actively carry out targeted medication education activities to promote safe and rational medication among university students.
