OBJECTIVE: To construct a multivariate model that explains self-medication with antibiotics in university students. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional analytical study was carried out for a multivariate statistical model, using a questionnaire that was carried out with 2504 university students from three universities in Trujillo, capital of the La Libertad Region. Predictors were found with the data and a multivariate explanatory model was built and the ROC area will be calculated. RESULTS: The information of 2404 university students was analyzed. 42.4% of the sample reported having self-medicated with antibiotics. Predictors for the practice of self-medication were identified: female students (OR = 1.23), faculties not associated with health sciences (OR = 1.99), those of low and medium socioeconomic level (OR = 41.06, OR = 6.5), living alone (OR = 2.8) and low and medium level of knowledge (OR = 3.22, OR = 1.42), Age is a protective factor (OR = 0.74). Our model predicts with a high level (88%) self-medication with antibiotics in university students. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics in university students in our study is 42.4%. Our model explains 88% of self-medication in university students and identified a statistically significant association between self-medication with antibiotics and the sociodemographic and knowledge variables.
