This study used Pearson\u2019s Chi-Square test to explore the relationship between antibiotic knowledge, attitudes, and practices and demographic factors, after confirming the test\u2019s assumptions, notably that expected cell frequencies were above five. Logistic regression model was computed to identify predictors of inadequate knowledge, negative attitude, and poor practices towards antibiotics use. Data on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding antibiotic use were collected via a structured, pretested questionnaire.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Participants scoring above 60% were deemed to have adequate KAP, whereas those at or below this threshold were categorized as having insufficient understanding or behaviors in antibiotic use.<\/li>\n<li>Age significantly impacted antibiotic-related attitudes and practices among students.<\/li>\n<li>Association between sociodemographic characteristics and sufficient knowledge, attitude, and practice of antibiotics among university students.<\/li>\n<li>This study adhered to strict ethical guidelines.<\/li>\n<li>While overall awareness and behavior appear positive, nearly four in ten students lack proper understanding and engagement in AR practices.<\/li>\n<li>A multistage sampling method was used, first stratifying Riyadh universities as public or private (three universities for each).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire covering sociodemographic characteristics and KAP regarding antibiotics.

Results Out of the 233 participants, 58.8% were female and 95.7% aged 18\u201324 years.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Sample Size<\/h2>\n<p>The present study showed that university non-medical students\u2019 practice toward antibiotic use was approximately 60.6%. This is in contrast to other studies from Jordan, Thailand, Zambia, Brunei, Sudan, and Cyprus, where non-medical students exhibited lower levels of knowledge regarding antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance 20,21,23,24,25,26,28,29. Age significantly impacted antibiotic-related attitudes and practices among students. Level of knowledge, attitude, and practice toward AR among the university students. This scoring framework ensured consistency in evaluating participants\u2019 antibiotic-related attitudes and practices, aligning with established methodologies to enhance reliability and comparability of results.<\/p>\n<h2>3.4. Data Presentation and Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>Some questions reflected tendencies toward misuse, such as believing antibiotics should be accessible without a prescription, sharing them with family members without medical consultation, or using them to prevent the worsening of illness. All non-medical students in any public or private university in Riyadh, regardless of their nationalities, genders, or fields of study, were included, whereas visiting students or medical students were excluded from the study. A cross-sectional design was used to measure the level of awareness of antibiotic misuse that leads to AR among students in public and private universities of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, due to limited antibiotic education, non-medical students frequently misuse antibiotics\u2014taking them without prescriptions, using leftover medication, sharing antibiotics, or discontinuing treatment early. For example, while many refrain from sharing leftover antibiotics\u2014considered a positive behavior\u2014negative attitudes toward antibiotic use persist.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Antibiotic Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>Initiating a health awareness campaign can assist legislators in making informed decisions to increase awareness. However, other studies from Italy and Nepal reported a very high level of knowledge to antibiotic use compared to our findings (84.8%, 94%) 30,31. This study aims to assess the level of awareness about AR. Sources of information about the participants\u2019 antibiotic use. The primary source of information about antibiotic use among participants was their doctor, with 76.8% (516 participants) relying on this source (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Additionally, the absence of clinical validation\u2014such as prescription audits or medical records\u2014may lead to overestimations of appropriate antibiotic practices<\/li>\n<li>These findings highlight the pressing need for sustained antimicrobial stewardship efforts and strict enforcement of antibiotic regulations to mitigate the growing threat of AMR in the region.<\/li>\n<li>Among Staphylococcus aureus isolates, 32% were methicillin-resistant (MRSA), while Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated penicillin G resistance (33%) and erythromycin resistance (26%) .<\/li>\n<li>Additional statements addressed misconceptions, including the use of antibiotics for viral conditions (e.g., colds, flu), pain relief, fever reduction, and availability as over-the-counter drugs.<\/li>\n<li>As an integral and educated segment of society, students influence public health behaviors and community practices.<\/li>\n<li>Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire covering sociodemographic characteristics and KAP regarding antibiotics.<\/li>\n<li>Overall, 77.3% demonstrated adequate knowledge, 67.4% positive attitudes, and 49.4% good practices toward antibiotic use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Associated Data<\/h2>\n<p>The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and awareness of appropriate antibiotic use among university students. The study highlights persistent knowledge gaps about AR among non-medical university students in Riyadh, despite moderate general awareness. This study found that non-medical students at Riyadh universities demonstrate strong awareness of antibiotic use information sources, with 76% relying primarily on physicians\u2014a rate markedly higher than the 38% observed among Malaysian university students . Our study revealed a lack of knowledge regarding the safe use of antibiotics and inadequate medical practices related to their consumption among the population.<br \/>\nThis study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward AR among non-medical university students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and to identify factors influencing antibiotic use. Including non-medical university students in this study is critical due to their heightened risk of antibiotic misuse, lack of formal medical training to guide appropriate use, and potential influence on public health behaviors. Table 3 illustrates the analysis of the association between sociodemographic characteristics and sufficient knowledge, positive attitude, and appropriate practice of antibiotics among university students and reveals several significant patterns.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Study Design and Settings<\/h2>\n<p>A national study on Gram-positive bacteria in Saudi Arabia revealed alarming resistance trends. The NAP is structured around five sub-committees dedicated to raising awareness, monitoring resistance patterns, strengthening infection control, optimizing antibiotic use, and advancing research. This comprehensive strategy aligns with the World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) Global Action Plan and focuses on multi-sectoral collaboration, evidence-based interventions, and enhancing awareness of AMR among both the public and healthcare professionals 6,7. The primary source of information on antibiotics was healthcare professionals, particularly doctors.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, literary students had 52.2% lower odds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betsomnia-nl.nl\/\">https:\/\/www.betsomnia-nl.nl\/<\/a> sufficient knowledge compared to sciences students. Notably, students aged 19\u201320 demonstrated the highest rates of insufficient knowledge and unsafe behaviors compared to other age groups. In terms of university affiliation, IMSU had the highest representation, with 54.0% of participants. Although the dataset contained minimal missing values, specifically about ten instances within the attitude assessment, mean imputation was employed to address these gaps. A 60% proficiency threshold\u2014determined through pilot study analyses (mean and median of knowledge scores)\u2014was adopted to assess adequacy across domains. Additional questions assessed understanding of antibiotic side effects and the perceived efficacy of alternative medicine as a substitute.<\/p>\n<h2>3.2. Data Collection Instrument<\/h2>\n<p>A convenience sampling was employed to select participants based on accessibility and willingness to participate on campus, continuing until the required sample size was met. The sample was then proportionally allocated to each university. A multistage sampling method was used, first stratifying Riyadh universities as public or private (three universities for each). This study adhered to strict ethical guidelines. These findings highlight the pressing need for sustained antimicrobial stewardship efforts and strict enforcement of antibiotic regulations to mitigate the growing threat of AMR in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This disparity aligns with the observation that science and engineering [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
