摘要

Aim

This study aims to examine the impact of a training course in improving mothers’ awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among their children.

Methodology

Nonequivalent control group design (quasi-experimental), was used to examine the effectiveness of a training course on mothers’ awareness, and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR among their children. A total of 161 mothers participated in the study were divided into 82 training group, and 79 control group.

Results

The overall awareness scores indicate improvement post-training, with the mean scores increasing from pre-training 24.7(6.7) to post-training 30(6.4). The total awareness shift is statistically significant (t-test = -12.83, df = 160, p < 0.0011). The overall opinion increasing from pre-training 18.4(4.81) to post-training23.3(4.42). The total opinion shift is statistically significant (t-test = -8.99, df = 160, p < 0.0011).

Conclusion

Depending on the findings of this study, the antibiotic training course was found to be beneficial in improving mother’s awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR, as well as providing an effective training course for mothers. Replicating these training initiatives within the community can empower mothers to proactively prevent infections, address their child’s health issues, and actively participate in treatment decisions, thereby fostering a collaborative approach to healthcare within the community it became imperative to improve the mothers’ awareness and opinion of antibiotic use and AMR among their children.
