Antimicrobial resistance and rational prescription practices: knowledge, perceptions and confidence of health profession interns in Uganda
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is significantly driven by misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Graduate health profession interns often prescribe antimicrobials under minimum supervision.
This study explored the knowledge, perceptions and confidence of health profession interns in Uganda regarding AMR and rational prescription practices.
Continuous medical education and availability of clinical and professional organization guidelines should be leveraged to improve the knowledge of AMR and rational prescription among health profession interns. Their high confidence in rational prescription practices should be pivotal to the fight against AMR.
