The aim of this research is to evaluate the knowledge of students at medical technology college in Nalut about the risky implications of improper and misuse of antibiotics which may contribute to the emergence of new bacterial antibiotic resistance strains that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality in the society especially in the hospital setting. Surveillance questionnaire study involved in total, 100 students (81 female& 19 male-age limit [19-23y]) were randomly selected and interviewed on their altitude towards knowing the term antibiotic resistance, disease or infection they use antibiotic to treat, effectiveness of antibiotic on bacteria or viruses, whether they complete the required antibiotic course even if they get better. Have they bought antibiotics without prescription; have they used remained antibiotics from their family in the past to treat similar infection and other questions that assess the comprehension of students to proper use of antibiotics or not. The study indicates that there is a firm association between an underestimated practice by the physicians of giving instructions and advises about the correct procedure to take antibiotics, negligence by the pharmacists in providing patients antibiotics without prescriptions. lack of knowledge by students of how to take antibiotics in accurate ways. Together, these factors contribute to an increase in the emergence of new bacterial antibiotic resistant strains. 41% of surveyed students thought that antibiotics can be used to treat viral infection such as influenza and the common cold. 80 % of students answered yes when they recover from an infection after treatment they immediately stop the antibiotic course prescribed even in three days only. 54% of students take amoxicillin compared with 22% would take amoxil, 10% use Julmentin and 7% use Augmentin without prescription. Medical educational programs that instruct students, physicians and pharmacists about the risky of irrational use of antibiotics must be implemented. Antibiotics must be given under control and supervision. Leaving these instructions not regulated will enhance the chance of existence of antibiotics resistant bacteria. Figures in this study show a number of factors that contribute to increased level of antibiotic resistance among selected samples of students. There should be strict regulation laid down by the local authority about prescription polices , control and implementation of firm guidelines to pharmacists working in healthcare Centre’s and in the private health sector and in the community. |
