Evaluation of awareness regarding antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance among students

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students in selected institutions across Punjab. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire administered to 500 PharmD students from various institutions. The findings revealed that participants had adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward antibiotics, but their practices were notably poor. These results underscore the need for enhanced educational interventions and practical training for PharmD students to improve antibiotic stewardship and patient care outcomes.
