Abstract:Objective To assess the current status of knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP)towards antibiotic use among community residents in Hangzhou,and to explore the correlations among them. Methods A total of 449 permanent residents in Hangzhou were randomly selected using a multistage stratified random sampling method. Self-reported data on basic demographic factors,and relevant KAP information were collected by the questionnaire survey. Differences in KAP scores according to each demographic factor were assessed by the t test or ANOVA test,and AMOS 21.0 was used for the path analysis. Results Scores for knowledge,attitude and practice regarding antibiotic use were(6.17±2.45),(6.45±0.99)and(6.21±1.02)respectively. Results of the path analysis showed that education level and age had effects on the knowledge(coefficients:0.57 and -0.38 respectively). Age,gender and knowledge had effects on the attitude (coefficients:-0.27,0.12和0.02 respectively),and attitudes,gender,monthly income and the level of education had effects on the practice(coefficients:0.48、0.37、0.06 and 0.02 respectively). Conclusion Community residents in Hangzhou lack relevant knowledge,and there are some irrational attitudes and practices regarding antibiotic use. There is a correlation between knowledge and attitudes,as well as between attitudes and practices,but the knowledge and practices are not correlated.
