- W2048905045 abstract "Introduction: Unnecessary antibiotic use is a well-documented risk factor for infection with resistant bacteria. There are increased concerns about antibiotic-prescribing patterns worldwide. With a goal of changing the present beliefs and practices about antibiotic use, the aim of this study is to assess the current knowledge, attitudes and behavior towards antibiotic use among parents in Al-Ain city, United Arab Emirates. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 250 parents of children <13 years visiting primary health centers from September 17 to October 12, 2006. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used and data was analyzed using SPSS Results: Knowledge Assessment: Fifteen percent of participants knew that antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. 71% percent had no concept of antibiotic resistance and those who knew the concept were of higher educational levels (p = 0.001). Half of the participants did not know that using antibiotics in every febrile illness could lead to antibiotic resistance. The study showed that the main source of information about antibiotic use was from leaflets (84%). Knowledge score increased with increasing age and educational level. Attitude Assessment: Forty-eight percent thought that antibiotics are always or usually needed for common cold symptoms and they were the least satisfied when not prescribed antibiotics. 38% had requested antibiotics and 20% had consulted another doctor to get antibiotics. Behavior Assessment: Twenty-one percent had given their children antibiotics without doctor's prescription. 31% did not follow their doctor's instructions, 24% did not complete the full course and 21% shared antibiotics between their children. Those who receive information about antibiotics had a higher behavior score (p = 0.002). Conclusion: This study showed that parents often have inadequate knowledge regarding antibiotic use. Providing antibiotic awareness was found to significantly improve parents’ behavior. Therefore, improved public and parental education is needed to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescription and antimicrobial resistance in the community." @default.
