“…The prevalence was higher (17%) in another study held in teaching hospitals and public health centers in Surabaya and Semarang. 11 In those studies, self-medication practices were predisposed by multiple factors, such as lack of knowledge about antibiotics, poor access to the health facilities, highcost low-quality health services, poor regulation, and lack of control by the government. [8][9][10] The role of the community in controlling the spread of resistance is essential.…”

Background: Self-medication with antibiotics increases the risk of resistance, which leads to higher morbidity and mortality. The community plays an important role in preventing and controlling the spread of antibiotic resistance. This study aims to determine factors associated with antibiotics self-medication practices in the community, which are the key to developing effective intervention programs.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2015 at Teling Atas Community Health Center in Wanea, a sub-district of East Indonesia region. Data was collected by a questionnaire-guided interview. There were 35 questions which cover respondent demographics, antibiotic use, and respondents’ knowledge about antibiotics. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between self-medication with antibiotics and respondents’ level of knowledge as well as other factors.Results: Among 400 respondents, there were 240 (60%) who had used antibiotics within 6 months prior to the interview and 180 (45.0%) who had self-medicated. Wounds or skin diseases (32.2%) were main reasons for self-medication. The majority of respondents self-medicated on their own initiatives (70.6%) and purchased antibiotics in pharmacies (52.2%). The mean score for respondent knowledge about antibiotic was categorized as “moderate” (score 7.14±2.49). Respondents with lower knowledge scores had higher probabilities to self-medicate with antibiotics than those with higher scores (OR= 16.86; 95% CI= 4.25–66.83).Conclusion: Self-medication practices with antibiotics in this study are associated with age, family income, and knowledge. Since poorer knowledge about antibiotics is associated with a higher probability of self-medication with antibiotics, education programs to improve public awareness are needed.

Background: This study explored the knowledge of attitudes to and perception of consumption of antibiotics, and understanding of antibiotic resistance among students and general population across South and East Asia region. Method: A systematic review was performed through PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost (Medline) and EMBASE scientific databases. Cross-sectional studies aimed to investigate the knowledge of, attitude to and perception of antibiotic use as well as studies concerning the demand of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance were evaluated. Other inclusion criteria were: studies published in English prior to July 2016; survey that examined one of the 7 topics proposed by Gualano et al. (2015) in their systematic review on knowledge and attitudes about antibiotics. Results: A total of 9 studies were selected for systematic review. A lack of knowledge about antibiotics was identified. Approximately 50% of the sample mistakenly believed that antibiotics could treat viral infections which are commonly responsible for the common cold, sore throat and cough. The majority (above 60%) of the sample were compliant with completing a full course of antibiotics but unfortunately 40% of the sample still selfadministered antibiotics without prescription. Conclusion: Knowledge of, attitudes to and perceptions of antibiotic use are found to be inappropriate among the student and general public in the South and East Asia region. Although antibiotic resistance is a global issue, every country in the South and East Asia region is encouraged to take their own initiative to curb antibiotic resistance.
