本研究的目的是寻找影响希腊城市环境中抗生素使用态度的因素。通过问卷调查，我们进行了323次面对面访谈（173名成人，150名儿童）。在成人组中，74.6%的家长承认使用了非处方抗生素，而只有22.7%的家长给孩子使用了非处方抗生素。大约50%的成年人提前停止治疗，超过10%的人没有遵循正确的剂量说明，大约55%的人承认使用了剩余的抗生素。在父母中，18.7%的人更早停止治疗，7.3%的人承认保留了剩余的抗生素。我们的结果显示，成年人可能表现出不满意的依从性，并使用非处方抗生素，而父母不太可能为他们的孩子使用非处方抗生素，并且更顺从。(C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.与International Society of Chemotherapy。版权所有。
The purpose of this study was to look for factors that affect attitudes to antibiotic use in Greek urban settings. By using a questionnaire-based survey, we conducted 323 face-to-face interviews (173 adults, 150 caters of children). In the adult group, 74.6% admitted using non-prescribed antibiotics, while only 22.7% of parents had administered non-prescribed antibiotics to their children. Around 50% of adults discontinued therapy earlier, more than 10%, did not follow the correct dosage instructions and about 55% admitted using leftover antibiotics. Of the parents, 18.7% discontinued therapy earlier and 7.3% admitted keeping leftover antibiotics. Our results showed that adults were likely to show unsatisfactory compliance and to use non-prescribed antibiotics, while parents were less likely to use non-prescribed antibiotics for their children and were more compliant.
