| dc.description.abstract | Antibiotics are a group of drugs of extreme importance in the fight against numerous infections. However, large-scale antibiotic therapy provides a strong selective pressure on bacteria, which increases the incidence of antibiotic resistance and may in the long run jeopardize its efficacy and utility. One of the main causes of antibiotic resistance is inadequate treatment. The objectives of this work are characterize the sample profiles of use and knowledge about the antibiotics consumption, particularly in regions NUT III Ave and Aveiro and characterize factors associated with use of antibiotics Métodos The research design is descriptive and correlational with population-based. It has the support of a questionnaire which was distributed electronically and manually to 768 individuals in the selected regions. For data editing and processing it used the SPSS program, version 22. Statistical analysis was based on the calculation of absolute and relative frequencies, calculating measures of central tendency or position and dispersion measures. Besides, the comparison of proportions and knowledge levels between the two groups was done independently Resultados This project had the participation of 768 individuals, aged between 18 to 83 years, wich were 37.8% males and 62.1% females. Further 74,9% individuals have more than Portuguese 3rd education cycle and 65.6% are professionally active. Most respondents who used antibiotics couldn’t remember the name of the drug (59.7%), but it is clear that the group with the highest consumption is the penicillins (22.9%). In respect of antibiotics consumption 18,8% individuals claim to have used antibacterial wich 17,2% belong to Ave and 20,3% Aveiro region. The stated reasons for the use of antibiotics are 18,1% for influenza and constipation treatments. It was found that 90.3% of interviewed obtained such drugs by medical prescription Conclusões/ Recomendações To conclude the level of knowledge about antibiotics is very similar in both regions, standing out the relationship between the level of knowledge and variables, gender, age, educational level and employment status of the respondent. | pt_PT |
