Abstract
Relevance. In the context of the continuing growth of antibiotic resistance, an important aspect of antimicrobial drug use is increasing the knowledge level of medical university students regarding the main issues of rational antimicrobial therapy.
Objective. To determine the level of basic knowledge of 6th year students at the Institute of Clinical Medicine (ICM) on the main issues of the rational use of antimicrobial drugs (AMD).
Materials and methods. The data from an anonymous survey among the 6th year students of the ICM, carried out in the 2023–2024 academic year were analyzed.
The results are presented in the form of an "average percentage of responses to a question" (APR). The best results were shown by the student who answered the following questions: the time to evaluate the effectiveness of initial antimicrobial therapy in (AMT) (APR = 85 %), the need to replace AMD with a positive clinical effect (APR = 60 %), and tactics for the treatment of acute tonsillitis/pharyngitis (APR = 56 %). The worst results were shown by the students answering the following questions: combination of AMD (APR = 16 %), criteria for AMD withdrawal (APR = 18 %), auxiliary drugs for bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (APR = 8 %), the choice of first-line AMD for mild community-acquired pneumonia (APR = 18 %), acute cystitis (APR = 17 %), acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis (APR = 7 %), the choice of a rational administration schedule of ampicillin (APR = 29 %) and cefixime (APR = 33 %).
Conclusion. Based on the results of the survey, it can be concluded that there is an insufficient knowledge level of basic AMT issues among the 6th year ICM students (on average, 37 % of correct answers in the questionnaire as a whole).
