Abstract
This work collects the characteristics of the family kits of students from the careers related to health in the Espoch, by identifying their knowledge and habits to determine the relationship between self-medication and the possession of medicines contained in the first-aid kit. This is related to the most outstanding frequency (48.1% bedroom) with the use of medicines in the home (48.5% when the treatment ends). Taking into account that 63.6% do not have a kit, they stored them in inadequate places to control their stability and quality for the use they were made, being analgesics and antibiotics those commonly found during the inspection that took place in the home. This determines that storage habits are not adequate for the proper storage of medications, including having knowledge of health and the importance of proper use by students, being essential to know that medicines must be stored in fresh places and dry, to avoid damage and problems associated with its stability.
