Abstract

Objective; to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of the public regarding the use of antibiotics. Method; the population of our study consists of people residing in the city center of Sakarya. The sample of the study consists of 265 individuals who agreed to participate in the study. In the study, a form consisting of socio-demographic characteristics, Knowledge of Antibiotic Use and Attitude towards Antibiotic Use questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Descriptive statistical methods, reliability analysis, and chi-square test were used in the analysis of the data. The data were analyzed at a 95% confidence interval (p=0.05). Results; it was found that more than half of the participants both had sufficient knowledge of antibiotic use and had a good attitude towards the use of antibiotics. A relationship was found between knowledge of antibiotic use and questions of attitude towards antibiotic use. The relationship between the Knowledge of Antibiotic Use and the Attitude towards Antibiotic Use scale and socio-demographic variables was determined. Conclusion; participants who have a good level of knowledge about antibiotic use have a positive attitude towards antibiotic use. In this context, it may be beneficial to help people develop interventions by increasing their awareness of the risks of inappropriate antibiotic use and to reduce misconceptions about antibiotic use.

Antibiyotik Kullanımına Yönelik Bilgi ve Tutumların İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç; halkın antibiyotik kullanımına ilişkin bilgi ve tutumlarının değerlendirilmektir. Yöntem; çalışmamızın evrenini Sakarya il merkezinde ikamet eden kişiler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 265 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak sosyo – demografik özellikler ve Antibiyotik Kullanım Bilgisi ve Antibiyotik Kullanımına Yönelik Tutum anketinden oluşan form kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, güvenilirlik analizi, ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. Veriler %95 güven aralığında (p=0,05) analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular; katılımcıların yarısından fazlasının hem Antibiyotik Kullanım Bilgisinin yeterli düzeyde olduğu hem de Antibiyotik Kullanımına Yönelik iyi tutuma sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Antibiyotik kullanım bilgisi ile antibiyotik kullanımına yönelik tutum soruları arasında ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Antibiyotik Kullanım Bilgisi ve Antibiyotik Kullanımına Yönelik Tutum ölçeği ile sosyo demografik değişkenler arasındaki ilişki belirlenmiştir. Sonuç; antibiyotik kullanımı konusunda bilgi düzeyi iyi olan katılımcılar, antibiyotik kullanımına karşı olumlu bir tutum sergilemektedir. Bu bağlamda, insanların uygunsuz antibiyotik kullanım risklerine ilişkin farkındalıklarını artırarak müdahale geliştirmelerine yardımcı olmak ve antibiyotik kullanımına ilişkin kavram yanılgılarını azaltmak yararlı olabilir.
