The purpose of this project was to evaluate parents' perceptions of antibiotics to better understand the barriers related to judicious antibiotic use and for selection of educational resources. A descriptive survey design was distributed electronically to a convenience sample of parents in Omaha, Nebraska, using the Parental Perception on Antibiotics scale. A total of 170 completed surveys were evaluated. Nearly all parents (97%) disagreed with the statement "antibiotics are needed for the common cold," and 90% were in agreement that antibiotics treat bacterial infections. Respondents did not expect an antibiotic after being seen for the common cold. All reported they "never" changed doctors when antibiotics were not prescribed. The parents completing this survey were knowledgeable about antibiotic use. Results demonstrate implications for both education efforts and patient-provider interactions. This project supports the need for community-specific identification of parents' perceptions for individualized education and promotion of proper antibiotic use.
本项目的目的是评估家长对抗生素的看法，以更好地理解与合理使用抗生素相关的障碍，并选择教育资源。采用描述性调查设计，使用“家长对抗生素的认知”量表，通过电子方式向内布拉斯加州奥马哈市的家长便利样本进行分发。共评估了170份完成的调查问卷。几乎所有家长（97%）都不同意“普通感冒需要使用抗生素”这一说法，90%的家长认为抗生素可治疗细菌感染。受访者在因普通感冒就诊后并不期望使用抗生素。所有受访者均表示，当未开具抗生素处方时，他们“从未”更换过医生。完成此项调查的家长对抗生素的使用有一定了解。结果显示了对教育工作和医患互动的启示。本项目支持针对特定社区识别家长的看法，以进行个性化教育并促进正确使用抗生素。
