Summary: | Resistance to antibioticshas been declared a public health emergencyworldwide; physicians being aware of this issue is key in the strategies to slow down its progression. We present a cross sectional study with a non-probability sampling of two generations of medicine students about to graduate interrogating about their perspective of the problem, contributing factors and their consulted sources for prescribing. With 236 participants, 160 (67.8%) consider antibiotic resistance a national problem, 154 (65.2%) agree that it’s present in hospitals wherethey’ve collaborated, they point to patient self-medication as the main cause for this, and follow national guidelines and books for correct antibiotic prescription; 2040 (87.7%) wish to further their education in the subject. Our results coincide with other international authors and are key to create special courses focused in appropriate prescribing of antibiotics.
La resistencia a antibióticos es una emergencia de salud pública mundial; que los médicos prescriptores sean conscientes del problema resulta indispensable para las estrategias dispuestas para retrasar su avance. Se presenta un estudio transversal descriptivo con muestreo no probabilístico intencional a dos generaciones de Médicos Pasantes en Servicio Social a punto de egresar para conocer su perspectiva del problema, causas contribuyentes y sus fuentes de consulta para la prescripción. Se realizaron 236 encuestas, 160 encuestados (67.8%) consideró la resistencia a antibióticos un problema nacional, 154 (65.2%) reconocen su presencia en los centros hospitalarios donde han colaborado, atañen como la causa principal la automedicación por parte de los pacientes y consultan guías de práctica clínica nacionales y libros para su prescripción, 204 (87.7%) desea mayor educación del tema. Resultados coincidentes con los de otros autores internacionales y clave para generar programas enfocados al uso racional y correcta prescripción de antibióticos. |
