A questionnaire-based study to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of antimicrobial resistance among PharmD students
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students in selected institutions in India. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire was conducted among 292 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-year PharmD students across various institutions. Results: The findings revealed adequate knowledge (mean score 5.87 ± 1.34) and a positive attitude (mean score 7.05 ± 1.20) among participants, but practices were notably poor (mean score 4.08 ± 1.24). Conclusion: These results highlight the need for enhanced educational interventions and practical training for PharmD students to improve antibiotic stewardship and patient care outcomes.
