This study aims to examine the impact of a training course in improving mothers' awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among their children.
Nonequivalent control group design (quasi-experimental), was used to examine the effectiveness of a training course on mothers' awareness, and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR among their children. A total of 161 mothers participated in the study were divided into 82 training group, and 79 control group.
The overall awareness scores indicate improvement post-training, with the mean scores increasing from pre-training 24.7(6.7) to post-training 30(6.4). The total awareness shift is statistically significant (t-test = -12.83, df = 160, p < 0.0011). The overall opinion increasing from pre-training 18.4(4.81) to post-training23.3(4.42). The total opinion shift is statistically significant (t-test = -8.99, df = 160, p < 0.0011).
Depending on the findings of this study, the antibiotic training course was found to be beneficial in improving mother's awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR, as well as providing an effective training course for mothers. Replicating these training initiatives within the community can empower mothers to proactively prevent infections, address their child's health issues, and actively participate in treatment decisions, thereby fostering a collaborative approach to healthcare within the community it became imperative to improve the mothers' awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR among their children.
本研究旨在探讨一门培训课程对提高母亲们关于其子女抗生素使用及抗菌药物耐药性（AMR）的认识和看法的影响。
采用非等效对照组设计（准实验）来检验培训课程对母亲们关于其子女抗生素使用及AMR的认识和看法的有效性。共有161名参与研究的母亲被分为82人的培训组和79人的对照组。
总体认识得分显示培训后有所提高，平均分从培训前的24.7（6.7）提高到培训后的30（6.4）。总体认识变化具有统计学意义（t检验=-12.83，自由度=160，p<0.0011）。总体看法从培训前的18.4（4.81）提高到培训后的23.3（4.42）。总体看法变化具有统计学意义（t检验=-8.99，自由度=160，p<0.0011）。
根据本研究结果，发现抗生素培训课程有助于提高母亲们关于抗生素使用及AMR的认识和看法，同时为母亲们提供了有效的培训课程。在社区内推广这些培训举措能够使母亲们有能力积极预防感染、解决孩子的健康问题并积极参与治疗决策，从而在社区内营造一种协作式医疗保健方式。提高母亲们关于其子女抗生素使用及AMR的认识和看法变得势在必行。
