Abstract
The purpose of this study was to focus on the factors influencing public antibiotic use behaviors. Antibiotics could be possibly perceived as a form of medication with the potential to treat contagious diseases caused by microorganisms. In the current period, the crisis with regard to inappropriate antibiotic use behavior has become one of the world’s most critical health predicaments, with immensely negative consequences on global economic and social contexts. This research may give an idea about the variables regarding the problems which might consequently lead to achieving decent solutions.
The objective to study and analyze factors affecting antibiotic use behaviors of different demographic groups in different countries. The methods to study and analyze previous studies regarding antibiotic use based on Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP), Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) as well as Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) models.
The results of the behavior with regard to antibiotic resistance was generally found to be associated with involving personal knowledge. Nevertheless, other variables including awareness, attitude towards antibiotic resistance prevention as well as some demographic factors such as gender, ages, socioeconomic status, education level, income and profession genre could also be found to have a correlation with regards to antibiotic use behavior in some pieces of studied research. Furthermore, some welfare policies could additionally contribute to public antibiotic use behavior as poor individuals’ financial situations affected the tendency of favoring self-medication using antibiotics. Additionally, some imposed federal regulations controlling antibiotic prescriptions might play an important role in alleviating the problem.The drivers could be observed in two scales: individual and national scale. Individual scale refers to personal antibiotics use of the citizens influenced by knowledge, awareness, attitudes etc. while national scale could represent the enforced federal regulations and laws regarding antibiotic use management. In order to tackle the issue, these two contexts should be cooperatively considered.
