Material and method: Study with a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and exploratory approach. The sample was 177 mothers of children under 6 years of age, who developed a 12-question questionnaire that was used to measure the level of knowledge about antibiotics and the prevalence of self-medication. A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out with frequencies and percentages. Correlations were evaluated with Pearson's Chi-Square between sociodemographic factors. Results: Of the 177 mothers, the most prevalent age range was between 27 and 30 (46.9%), with higher education (70.1%). The prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics was 46.3%; while, with respect to the level of knowledge, it was: excellent (83.1%), average (16.9%) and poor (0.0%). As relevant data, a direct association was evident between the level of knowledge and self-medication with antibiotics in children under 6 years of age who attend the “Señor de Luren” Educational Institution, Ica – 2023, considering a p-value (0.000).
