This predictive correlation research aimed to study (1) antibiotic use behavior (2) factors predicting to predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors towards antibiotic use behaviors among village health volunteer (VHV) in Phompiram district, Phitsanulok province. The samples were 125 of VHVs. The samples were selected by proportional stratified random sampling. The questionnaire was used for data collection including 6 parts as follows: demographic data, knowledge about antibiotic, attitude towards antibiotic, enabling factors, reinforcing factors, and antibiotic use behavior. The reliability was acceptable with the range of .70 to .88. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression with the significance level of p-value < .05. The results revealed that (1) the mean score for antibiotic use behavior was categorized as moderate level ( = 22.27; SD. = 5.25) and (2) the predicting factors were reinforcing factors, age, and attitude regarding antibiotic use which accounted for 45.6% of predicting antibiotic use behavior among VHVs. The recommendations were to inform public health personnel in facilitating the reinforcing factors regarding antibiotic use behavior by providing information, improving attitude towards antibiotic smart use, and emphasis on knowledge regarding antibiotic use on each age group to achieve the proper use of antibiotic in VHVs.
