Assessment of knowledge attitude and perception about antimicrobial stewardship program among medical students

Abstract
Background: An antimicrobial stewardship program (AMSP) is defined as a coordinated intervention designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, by promoting the selection of optimal antimicrobial drug regimen including dosing, duration of therapy, and route of administration. Understanding the knowledge, attitude, and perception (KAP) of medical students and early training about antimicrobial use and resistance will help reduce the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and further enforce the implementation of AMSP.

Aims and Objectives: This study aims to assess the KAP on AMSP among medical students.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out among the 2nd-year medical students. The data were collected using an online (Google Form) platform. The questionnaire was divided into five sections – demographic details, KAP, and miscellaneous questions.

Results: A total of 139 students participated in the present study. In the knowledge section, 80% of participants responded correctly regarding the most important reason for AMR and 85% of them could answer about the goals of the antimicrobial stewardship program. Overall 113 (81%) students showed a positive attitude toward AMSP. Regarding the perception of the students about AMSP, 91% of students are aware of the fact that inappropriate use of antimicrobials is the major cause of AMR and strong knowledge about antimicrobials is necessary in a medical career.

Conclusion: The majority of the students revealed a positive attitude toward learning more about the appropriate use of antimicrobials. Efforts should be made to strengthen their knowledge and awareness further about AMSP.

Key words: Antimicrobial Resistance; Antimicrobial Stewardship Program; Medical Students; Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception
