INTRODUCTION: Self-medication, defined by the World Health Organization as the selection and use of medicines by people, with the purpose of preventing, alleviating or treating symptoms or mild diseases that they can identify. Self-medication in chronic headache represents a current and frequent public health problem that is increasing every year in the population of medical students, due to their greater knowledge and access to information sources, so it is important to know the factors that lead to such a practice. OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with self-medication in human medicine students suffering from chronic headache at the Universidad Andina del Cusco semester 2022-II. METHODS: Quantitative observational analytical cross-sectional non-experimental correlational study, with the participation of 550 students of human medicine from the Universidad Andina del Cusco semester 2022-II, a virtual survey designed and validated was used as an instrument, where the information was exported to the statistical software STATA version 14 and Excel 2019. RESULTS: The frequency of self-medication was 49.3%, the factors associated with self-medication were sex (p=0.008 OR=6.3 IC95%(3.1539-12.896), the presence of family members who self-medicate (p=0.000 OR =5.0 IC95%(3.4413-7.4577), presence of friends who self-medicate (p-value=0.000 OR=3.6 IC95%(2.4130-5.5132), tobacco use (p=0.000 OR=2.5 IC95%(1.4952 4.4443), alcohol (p=0.000 OR=1.9 IC95%(1.3362-2.7311), semester of studies (p=0.038 OR=66 IC95% (5.0241-602.1013) academic knowledge (p=0.000 OR =2.2 IC95%(1.5464-3.2293), disposition of time (p=0.000 OR=2.6 IC95%(1.8499-3.7388) mild illness (p=0.000 OR=4.5 IC95%(2.9471-6.9390). CONCLUSIONS: The associated factors were sex, relatives and friends who self-medicate, consumption of tobacco, alcohol, semester of studies, academic knowledge, availability of time, mild illness. KEY WORDS: Self-medication, headache, human medicine students, associated factor.
