Abstract

Antibiotics are drugs used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. When used improperly, bacteria can adapt and develop resistance. Public awareness of appropriate antibiotic use plays a significant role in combating antibiotic resistance. To determine the relationship between antibiotic use behavior and the level of consumer knowledge at Jovita Pharmacy, Pabuaran, Bojonggede, Bogor Regency. This study employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 106 respondents who met the inclusion criteria were surveyed using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Only 2.8% of respondents had good knowledge, and 33% demonstrated appropriate antibiotic use behavior. The Chi-Square test showed a significant correlation (p = 0.001) between knowledge and behavior in antibiotic use. There is a strong relationship between the level of knowledge and behavior in the use of antibiotics. Increased education and regulation are needed to promote rational use of antibiotics among the public.
