Penelitian ini bersifat observasional analitik dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional. Sampel pada penelitian ini merupakan mahasiswa dan mahasiswi angkatan 2019 hingga 2022 Universitas Syiah Kuala. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini berdasarkan rumus slovin yaitu 778 responden. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah non probability sampling dengan metode convenience sampling dan pengambilan sampel tiap fakultas menggunakan metode proportionate stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan membagikan kuisioner secara langsung kepada responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa kesehatan memiliki pengetahuan yang baik (56%), dan sikap baik (58%), mahasiswa non kesehatan memiliki pengetahuan baik (40,7%) dan sikap baik (36,9%), serta analisis bivariat hubungan antara pengetahuan mahasiswa kesehatan dengan swamedikasi menunjukkan nilai p-value = 0,000, hubungan antara pengetahuan mahasiswa non kesehatan dengan swamedikasi menunjukkan nilai p-value = 0,027, hubungan antara sikap mahasiswa kesehatan dengan swamedikasi menunjukkan nilai p-value = 0,000, dan hubungan antara sikap mahasiswa non kesehatan dengan swamedikasi menunjukkan nilai p-value = 0,042.
