Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Infectious disease treatment and prevention are threatened by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally. The knowledge and attitudes of doctors regarding AMR and the responsible use of antibiotics are critical to improving prescribing behaviours and mitigating the danger that AMR poses. This study aims to assess the knowledge attitudes and practices of doctors in Nigeria regarding AMR.
UNASSIGNED: This was an online survey of doctors in Nigeria. A 31-item self-administered questionnaire was distributed via an online forum for doctors. The questionnaire consisted of knowledge, attitudes, and practices sections. Demographic and practice data were also collected from respondents. Data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS and were mainly descriptive. Bivariate correlation was used to determine the relationship between knowledge attitudes and practices.
UNASSIGNED: Two hundred and fifty -two doctors completed the survey. There were 105 (42%) resident doctors who participated in the study. Good knowledge and fair knowledge of AMR were shown by 95(41%) and 146(58%) doctors, respectively. There were few respondents with good attitudes and practices: 40 (16%) and 16 (6%), respectively. A large proportion of respondents had fair attitudes and practices -204(81%) and 185(73%) respectively. The relationship between practice, knowledge, and attitude was negligible. (r<1, p>0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Most doctors in this study showed fair to good knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding AMR. Efforts to reduce the incidence of AMR should leverage the perceptions and behaviours of these healthcare workers.
摘要:
传染病治疗和预防在全球范围内受到抗菌素耐药性(AMR)的威胁。医生对AMR的知识和态度以及负责任地使用抗生素对于改善处方行为和减轻AMR带来的危险至关重要。这项研究旨在评估尼日利亚医生对AMR的知识态度和做法。
这是对尼日利亚医生的在线调查。通过在线医生论坛分发了31个项目的自我管理问卷。问卷由知识组成,态度,和实践部分。还从受访者那里收集了人口和实践数据。数据使用IBM-SPSS进行分析,主要是描述性的。双变量相关性用于确定知识态度与实践之间的关系。
二百五十二名医生完成了这项调查。有105名(42%)住院医生参与了这项研究。95名(41%)和146名(58%)医生表现出良好的AMR知识和公平的知识,分别。有良好的态度和做法的受访者很少:40(16%)和16(6%),分别。很大一部分受访者有公平的态度和做法-分别为204(81%)和185(73%)。实践之间的关系,知识,态度微不足道。(r<1,p>0.05)。
这项研究中的大多数医生都表现出相当好的知识,态度,以及关于AMR的实践。减少AMR发生率的努力应利用这些医护人员的观念和行为。
