OBJECTIVES
Antibiotic overuse is highly reported among dentists worldwide. An antibiotic stewardship programme has been shown to be effective for decreasing the number of unappropriated antibiotic prescriptions. The goal of this survey was to assess dentists' awareness of antibiotic stewardship and their willingness to implement changes accordingly.
METHODS
A structured questionnaire was developed and distributed to dentists at a university hospital with different levels of experience. It included questions regarding antibiotic prescription habits, antibiotic stewardship knowledge and willingness to implement changes in such a programme.
RESULTS
Overall, 256 dentists participated in the survey. Among them, 16.4% (95% confidence interval: 12.1%-21.5%) reported awareness regarding antibiotic stewardship. Awareness levels were higher among specialists (28.3%) and increased with experience. Most dentists in this study reported willingness to improve their antibiotic prescribing practices. The mean willingness score was 8.78 (standard deviation: 1.81).
CONCLUSIONS
Awareness of antibiotic stewardship was low among dentists with different levels of experience. However, dentists were willing to change their antibiotic prescription habits if policies were implemented as part of a stewardship programme at the school.
目的
全球范围内，牙科医生过度使用抗生素的情况屡见不鲜。抗生素管理计划已被证明在减少不合理抗生素处方数量方面是有效的。本次调查的目的是评估牙科医生对抗生素管理的认识以及他们相应实施变革的意愿。
方法
设计了一份结构化问卷，并分发给一所大学医院中不同经验水平的牙科医生。问卷包括有关抗生素处方习惯、抗生素管理知识以及在这样一个计划中实施变革的意愿等问题。
结果
总体而言，256名牙科医生参与了此次调查。其中，16.4%（95%置信区间：12.1%-21.5%）报告了解抗生素管理。专科医生的知晓率更高（28.3%），且随经验增加而上升。本研究中的大多数牙科医生表示愿意改进他们的抗生素处方行为。平均意愿得分为8.78（标准差：1.81）。
结论
不同经验水平的牙科医生对抗生素管理的认识较低。然而，如果在学校将相关政策作为管理计划的一部分实施，牙科医生愿意改变他们的抗生素处方习惯。
