在沙特阿拉伯，无处方使用抗生素(AWP)是一种普遍做法。它与发病率、死亡率和细菌耐药性有关。现在有大量的文献可以探索社区药剂师关于分发AWP的观点、看法和经验。从病人的角度理解这种做法和导致它的因素是很重要的。目的探讨患者对AWP使用的看法和看法。设计并试点了一项横断面调查，以评估和评估疾病模式、抗生素使用模式、对他人使用抗生素以及参与者对抗生素使用和耐药性的知识。调查在麦加、吉达和塔伊夫进行，包括与参与者面对面互动和在线选项，并以阿拉伯语和英语提供。结果1826名参与者参与了调查，59.2%的参与者使用过AWP，只有34.2%的参与者在使用抗生素前寻求过医生建议。参与者从社区药房获得AWP(54%)，没有提供咨询(35%)。只有11%的药剂师建议完成抗生素疗程。 Most of the pharmacists did not refuse to dispense AWP (84%). Some participants had given AWP to children (22%) and given/encouraged other family members to use AWP (28%). More than half (58%) did not know about drug-food interaction with antibiotics. Majority of participants knew about antibiotic resistance (53%) and believed that it is harmful to use AWP (72%). Conclusion Strict measures are needed to restrict the sale of antibiotics from community pharmacy and more efforts should be employed in antibiotic awareness campaigns in the region focusing on advising the people regarding the hazards of self-treatment with antibiotics.
