抗生素在动物和人类中的不合理使用导致了耐药菌的产生和传播，严重威胁人类健康。虽然这些抗生素的广泛使用可能会导致耐药性的发展，但关于埃塞俄比亚西北部动物农场主/工人对抗生素耐药性和使用的知识、态度和做法的信息很少。本研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚西北部阿姆哈拉州动物农场主/工人对抗生素耐药性和使用的知识、态度和做法。2020年1月至2月，在阿姆哈拉州的选定城市进行了一项横断面研究。采用结构式问卷收集91名参与者的数据，并使用SPSSS第23版进行分析。结果显示，96.7%的受访者给予抗生素治疗他们的牲畜从不同的来源。大部分受访者在没有处方的情况下从私人药房购买抗生素，最常提及的用于治疗动物疾病的抗生素是四环素（76.9%），其次是氨苄青霉素（72.5%）。虽然90.1%的农场主从不同途径听说过抗生素和抗生素耐药性，但他们不知道导致耐药性细菌传播给人类的因素以及抗生素耐药性对人类和动物健康的影响。以平均得分4.44 ± 0.15作为分界点，一半的动物农场主/工人对抗菌素耐药性和使用有良好的了解。52.5%的农场主/工人对抗生素的合理使用和耐药性持肯定态度，平均得分为28.4 ± 0.5。但52.75%的学员练习情况较差，平均练习得分为4.95 ± 0.17。更好的知识，积极的态度和更好的做法，抗生素的使用和耐药性与农场主/工人谁从事高等教育。尽管76.9%的受访者认为对抗生素耐药性认识不足是导致抗生素耐药性增加的重要因素，但大多数受访者认为增加补充治疗的使用是有助于减少抗生素使用和耐药性的重要策略。目前的研究表明，动物农场主对正确使用抗生素和耐药性的认识水平很低。有必要提高认识，制定和实施干预措施，以减少研究区域的抗菌药物使用和抗生素耐药性。
Inappropriate use of antibiotics in animal and human plays a role in the emergence and spread of bacteria resistant to antibiotics which threatens human health significantly. Although extensive use of these antibiotics could contribute to the development of drug resistance, information on the knowledge, attitude and practice of antimicrobial resistance and use among animal farm owners/workers in north western Ethiopia is rare. The objective of the present study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of animal farm owner/workers towards antibiotic resistance and use in Amhara regional state north western Ethiopia. A cross sectional study was conducted in selected cities of Amhara regional state from January to February, 2020. Data was collected from 91 participants using structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSSS version 23. The results showed that 96.7% of respondents gave antibiotics to treat their livestock from different sources. Most of the respondents bought their antibiotics from private pharmacies without prescription and the most frequently mentioned antibiotics used to treat animal diseases was tetracycline (76.9%), followed by ampicillin (72.5%). Although, 90.1% of the animal farm owners heard about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance from different sources, they did not know the factors contributing to the transmission of resistant bacteria to humans and the impact of antibiotic resistance on human and animals’ health. Using the mean score 4.44 ± 0.15 as the cut-off, half of the animal farm owners/workers had good knowledge about antimicrobial resistance and use. 52.5% of animal farm owners/workers had positive attitudes towards wise antibiotic use and resistance with a mean score of 28.4 ± 0.5. However, 52.75% participants had poor practice with the mean score of practice 4.95 ± 0.17. Better knowledge, positive attitudes and better practices on antibiotic use and resistance were associated with farm owners/workers who engaged in higher education. Although poor awareness on antimicrobial resistance was perceived by 76.9% of respondents as very important factors that contribute to increasing antibiotic resistance, increasing the use of complementary treatments was perceived by the majority of respondents as very important strategies that contribute to reduce antibiotic use and resistance. The current study disclosed that there is low level of awareness among animal farm owners about the correct use of antibiotics and resistance. It is necessary to raise awareness, develop and implement interventions to reduce antimicrobial use and antibiotic resistance in the study area.
