Abstract

Antibiotics are the drugs most widely used in infections caused by bacteria where oral route antibiotics are the first choice in infection therapy. Various studies have found that around 40-62% of antibiotics are used inappropriately, including for diseases that actually do not require antibiotics. The problem that often occurs is the lack of knowledge of inpatients about the proper use of antibiotics. This research was conducted to determine the level of knowledge of inpatients about the use of antibiotics, using a cross sectional descriptive method. Data was taken secondary through filling out a questionnaire. A total of 92 inpatients at x Hospital in Palopo City were selected as volunteers using the accidental sampling method. Data was processed using the Statistical Product and Servicer Solution (SPSS) application with the chi-square test. The results obtained from 92 respondents, as many as 16.3% of respondents had a low level of knowledge, 56.5% of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge and 27.2% of respondents had a high level of knowledge. There is a relationship between the last level of education (p value 0.000 0.05), with the level of knowledge in using antibiotics. The conclusion of this study is that the level of knowledge of inpatients at x Hospital in Palopo City is quite adequate, namely 56.5%.
