Assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice on antibiotic use in under-5 children with respiratory tract infection among mothers attending a pediatric outpatient department

ConclusionsThis study suggested that perfection in the appropriate use of antibiotics would require multi-sectorial cooperation and long-term efforts. Healthy communication with mothers through mass media will be useful in enhancing and promoting changes in mothers ’ knowledge, attitude, and practice towards the use of antibiotics for their children, especially among parents from rural areas and with no formal education.
