大學生抗生素用藥素養及使用行為之相關研究

Abstract

本研究旨在了解臺灣大學生的抗生素用藥素養及正確使用行為之現況及其關係。研究對象為在學的大學生，在2023年透過網路進行問卷調查，回收有效問卷共計482份，研究結果如下。一、大學生的抗生素用藥素養（功能性、互動性、批判性）整體表現中等偏高，但部分知識尚待加強；抗生素的使用行為表現偏良好。二、在功能性素養方面，就讀科系屬「醫藥衛生及社會福利」領域的大學生素養高於科系非屬「醫藥衛生及社會福利」領域者。三、在互動性素養方面，大學生在過去一年曾有醫師、藥師主動說明或提供處方藥物資訊經驗者互動性素養高於無經驗大學生；四年級大學生的素養高於一年級大學生。四、大學生接觸抗生素訊息的管道愈多元，其抗生素用藥素養（功能性、互動性、批判性）能力愈佳。五、以多元迴歸進行分析，結果顯示大學生的抗生素用藥素養（功能性、互動性、批判性）可預測正確使用抗生素行為。建議於相關教育活動中針對抗生素藥品特性、抗生素相關知識及細菌抗藥性的風險觀念作加強，以提升大學生的抗生素用藥素養及正確使用行為。

This study examined the relationship between antibiotic literacy and proper antibiotic use behavior among university students in Taiwan. The research participants were undergraduate students. In 2023, an online questionnaire survey was conducted, and a total of 482 valid responses were collected. The research findings were as follows:1. The antibiotic literacy (functional, interactive, critical literacy) of university students was moderately high, but there was still room for improvement in certain knowledge areas. Additionally, the antibiotic use behavior of the students was relatively good.2. University students majoring in the fields of medicine, health, and social welfare exhibited higher functional antibiotics literacy compared to those in other fields.3. University students who had received proactive explanations or prescription medication information from doctors or pharmacists in the past year exhibited higher interactive antibiotics literacy compared to those without such experiences. Fourth-year students had higher interactive antibiotics literacy compared to first-year students.4. University students who received more diverse channels of antibiotic information had better antibiotic literacy (functional, interactive, critical literacy).5. Multiple regression analysis showed that university students' antibiotic literacy (functional, interactive, critical literacy) could predict proper antibiotic use behavior. This study recommends incorporating antibiotic-related knowledge and the concept of bacterial antibiotic resistance in relevant educational activities to enhance university students' antibiotic literacy and promote proper antibiotic use behavior.
