OBJECTIVES
The inappropriate use of antibiotics is a critical global health issue. The lack of antimicrobial stewardship exposes the community to unwarranted medication and contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the perceptions and practice of physicians and pharmacists at primary healthcare centres of Qatar with respect to antibiotic misuse.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 226 physicians and 82 pharmacists in primary health care centres. A multistage cluster sampling technique was used for data collection. Separate self-administered questionnaires were administered to physicians and pharmacists.
RESULTS
Response rates for physicians and pharmacists were 97.8% and 100%, respectively. Both physicians (90.7%) and pharmacists (87.8%) perceived antibiotic misuse as a major public health issue. To prevent antibiotic misuse, most physicians and pharmacists reported a focus on patient education as well as good practices in their work.
CONCLUSION
This study provides novel evidence on the perceptions and practices of health professionals concerning antibiotic prescription in primary healthcare settings of Qatar.
目的
抗生素的不当使用是一个关键的全球卫生问题。缺乏抗菌药物管理使社区面临不必要的药物治疗，并助长了抗菌药物耐药性的发展。本研究评估了卡塔尔初级医疗保健中心的医生和药剂师对抗生素滥用的认知和做法。
方法
在这项横断面研究中，我们在初级医疗保健中心招募了226名医生和82名药剂师。采用多阶段整群抽样技术进行数据收集。分别向医生和药剂师发放了自填式问卷。
结果
医生和药剂师的回复率分别为97.8%和100%。医生（90.7%）和药剂师（87.8%）都认为抗生素滥用是一个主要的公共卫生问题。为防止抗生素滥用，大多数医生和药剂师报告称他们将重点放在患者教育以及工作中的良好做法上。
结论
本研究提供了关于卡塔尔初级医疗保健环境中卫生专业人员对抗生素处方的认知和做法的新证据。
