Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to assess the role of community pharmacists and their perception toward antimicrobial stewardship, in addition to identifying factors influencing their perception and practices in community pharmacy.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was carried out among community pharmacists regarding antimicrobial stewardship. Convenience sampling was used to obtain the required sample from a community pharmacy in Baghdad. In total, 381 participants have completed the survey.
UNASSIGNED: The majority of the participants (85.6%) strongly agreed/agreed that \"antimicrobial stewardship programs reduce the problems of antibiotic resistance\"; and 85.5% of them strongly agreed/agreed that community pharmacists required adequate training on antibiotics use. In addition, high percent of community pharmacists (88.4%) strongly agreed/agreed that pharmacists have a responsibility to take a prominent role in antimicrobial stewardship programs and infection-control programs in the health system. The total score of perception was significantly influenced by older age groups, postgraduate degrees, and experience of 6-10 years (p < 0.001). This study also showed that 65.4% of pharmacists always/often advise patients to continue the full course of antimicrobials, and 64.9% of them reported always/often considering clinical and safety parameters before dispensing antibiotics. The role of pharmacists was significantly influenced by the younger age group, females, higher degree in pharmacy, experience of 3-5 years, and medical complex pharmacy (p < 0.001).
UNASSIGNED: Community pharmacists have a good perception toward antimicrobial stewardship programs, but their role is still limited. More efforts are needed to design better strategies for antimicrobial stewardship in community pharmacy.

摘要：
■本研究旨在评估社区药剂师的作用及其对抗菌药物管理的看法，除了确定影响他们在社区药房的看法和实践的因素。
■在社区药剂师中进行了一项关于抗菌药物管理的横断面研究。使用便利采样从巴格达的社区药房获得所需的样品。总的来说,381名参与者完成了调查。
大多数参与者（85.6％）强烈同意/同意“抗菌药物管理计划减少了抗生素耐药性的问题”；其中85.5％强烈同意/同意社区药剂师需要对抗生素使用进行充分的培训。此外,高百分比的社区药剂师(88.4%)强烈同意/同意药剂师有责任在卫生系统的抗菌药物管理计划和感染控制计划中发挥突出作用.感知总分受年龄较大的群体影响显著,研究生学位,和6-10年的经验（p<0.001）。这项研究还表明，65.4％的药剂师总是/经常建议患者继续使用抗菌药物的整个过程。64.9%的患者报告在分配抗生素前总是/经常考虑临床和安全参数。药剂师的角色受到年轻年龄组的显著影响，女性,较高的药学学位，3-5年的经验,和医学复杂药学(p<0.001)。
■社区药剂师对抗菌药物管理计划有很好的认识，但是他们的作用仍然有限。需要更多的努力来设计更好的社区药房抗菌药物管理策略。
