Objective: Antibiotics are considered to be one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century.
The widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to resistance to microorganisms,
increased cost, and at the same time an increase in the incidence of secondary side effects. We
aimed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about the use of antibiotics of the
parents living in the Aegean part of Turkey.

Methods: The study was conducted with parents of 252 children who applied to the Kutahya
Family Health Center between May and October 2017. The data were collected by face-to-face
interview using a questionnaire survey prepared by the investigator. Descriptive and categorical
statistics were used for the study. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square
test. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05.

Results: The mean age of parents was 32.83 ± 7.61 years and most of them were in a low
education and income group. There was negative correlation between education level and use of
correct antibiotics (p<0.01). This sentence given by you is like a interpretation and should be in
a conclusion or discussion. Additionally, the correct level of knowledge of parents living in the
urban area, male gender, and unemployed was determined to be lower.

Conclusions: Rational antibiotic use is an important health issue in our country. We anticipate
regional differences in evaluations of antibiotic use and we believe that, in order to increase the
efficiency of antibiotic use, it is necessary to increase the level of education in the region and to
reprogram health education to the public. Family Doctors should be sensitive to the use of
antibiotics and inform the patient during the interview process. We believe that guidance and
strategy can be developed for the national-international correct use of antibiotics using these
regional data that we have obtained.

Türkiye Ege Bölgesinde Yaşayan Ebeveynlerin Antibiyotik Kullanımına İlişkin Bilgi Tutum ve Davranışlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Antibiyotikler, 20. Yüzyılın en büyük keşiflerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Yaygın ve uygun olmayan antibiyotik kullanımı, mikroorganizmalara karşı direnç, artan maliyet ve aynı zamanda ikincil yan etkilerin görülme sıklığında artışa yol açmaktadır. Türkiye'nin Ege bölgesinde yaşayan ebeveynlerin antibiyotik kullanımı ile ilgili bilgi, tutum ve davranışları belirlemeyi amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, Mayıs ve Ekim 2017 tarihleri arasında Kütahya Aile Sağlığı Merkezine başvuran 252 çocuğun ebeveynleri ile yapıldı. Veriler, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan anket formu kullanılarak yüzyüze görüşülerek toplandı. Tanımlayıcı ve kategorik istatistikler bu çalışmada kullanılmıştır. Kategorik değişkenler Ki-kare testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p <0.05 olarak belirlendi.

Bulgular: Ebevenylerin yaş ortalaması 32.83±7.61 yıl idi ve çoğu eğitim ve gelir düzeyi düşük olan gruptaydı. Eğitim seviyesi arttıkça, doğru antibiyotik kullanımının önemli ölçüde azaldığını bulduk. Ayrıca, kentsel alanda yaşayan ebeveynlerin, erkek cinsiyetin ve işsizlerin doğru bilgi düzeyinin daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.01). Antibiyotik kullanımı ile ilgili tutum ve davranışların sorulduğu sorularda ise doğru davranış oranı daha yüksek bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: Akılcı antibiyotik kullanımı ülkemizde önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Antibiyotik kullanımının değerlendirilmesinde bölgesel farklılıkları öngörüyoruz ve antibiyotik kullanımının etkinliğini arttırmak için bölgedeki eğitim seviyesini arttırmanın ve sağlık eğitimini halka yeniden programlamanın gerekli olduğuna inanıyoruz. Aile Hekimleri, doğru antibiyotik kullanımı konusunda duyarlı davranmalı ve bilgilendirmeye zaman ayırmalıdır. Elde ettiğimiz bu bölgesel verileri kullanarak ulusal ve uluslararası antibiyotiklerin doğru kullanımı için rehberlik ve stratejinin geliştirilebileceğine inanıyoruz.
