Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when germs develop the ability to resist the drugs designed to kill them. It is regarded as a threat to global health; however, few people are aware of it. This study aims to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of tenants of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya toward antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. Using purposive quota sampling, two hundred respondents aged 18 and above were selected to answer a two-part survey questionnaire. The results showed that 92 respondents have a good knowledge of antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance, while 81 have moderate knowledge, and 27 have poor knowledge. The overall attitudes of the respondents were found to be positive, but their practices were considered poor. A significant difference in the level of knowledge was found according to age and educational attainment; however, no significant difference was found in terms of socioeconomic status. In terms of attitude, a significant difference in age, educational attainment, and socioeconomic status has been found. Also, the level of knowledge was reported not to be significantly related in terms of practices. However, a moderately low positive correlation was significant between the respondents' attitudes and practices. In a nutshell, the data and the results suggest that it is essential to improve the knowledge and attitudes of individuals on the use of antibiotics and the resistance thereof through an online campaign, and raising the issue to the government agencies in order to reduce the possibility of misuse and to lessen antimicrobial resistance.
