Knowledge Attitude And Practice

Introduction: The knowledge, attitude & Practice of antimicrobials use and resistance is very essential to combat global antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As there were many studies focused on MBBS undergraduates but none of these studies compared their outcome between two other major medical disciplines like BDS & BSc Nursing. Methods: It was an observational-based cross-sectional study, including 23 validated objectives based questionnaire. Out of 440 students, 359 students (94 MBBS, 52 BDS & 213 BSc Nursing) fulfilled the criteria and participated. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 for Chicago Inc. was used and considered for descriptive analyses. Results: More than 81% of all participants had adequate knowledge of AMR but in the case of sore throat and cold 50% BDS, 49.3% BSc Nursing opt antibiotics as the first choice of drugs as compared to 33% MBBS students. More than 81% of participants not willing to prescribe their choice of drug in the sickness of family members. Giving leftover antibiotics was higher among MBSS students than others. Conclusion: As we observed, even after completion of pharmacology more specifically, antibiotics & chemotherapy chapters in their courses many students didn’t understand what; where; when; and whom they can use antibiotics in real scenarios. We have to teach them the practicality of global emergence of AMR because these students going to become doctors, dentist, and nurses in various medical fields and will help to combat against global AMR.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the factors related to inadequate practice of the Papanicolaou test among women in northeastern Brazil. Method: cross-sectional study using a KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE inquiry, performed from June to October, 2013, with 240 women aged between 24 and 59 years. Results: inadequacies were observed, particularly in knowledge, because, despite having information about the examination, it was only used to detect sexually transmitted infections. Regarding the issue of practice, it was noted that single women and those up to 29 years of age were more likely to present inadequate practice than the older and married women, increasing the likelihood of developing cervical cancer. The greater difficulty for performing the examination was the lack of materials (68.1%). Conclusion: clarification for women regarding the examination requires effective communication between the users and health professionals, as well as guarantees and support for the continuity of care by managers.
