Özet:

 Aim: This study aims to evaluate the attitudes of Akdeniz University Faculty of Dentistry students towards antibiotic use. Material and methods: A total of 388 dentistry students were included in the study. To evaluate the attitudes of the participants on antibiotic use, a 21-question survey, also including demographic information, was filled online on a voluntary based. SPSS was used in the analysis of the data and p 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 208 53.6 of the participants were female and 180 46.4 were male, with a mean age of 20.971.9 years. To the question of Do you use antibiotics in cases such as the flu or cold? 86 22.2 participants answered yes, while 302 77.8 participants answered no. While 352 90.7 participants started using antibiotics with the recommendation of a physician, 32 8.2 participants stated that they made their own decision. While 320 82.5 participants answered no to the question of Do you think it is necessary to prescribe antibiotics to every patient who applies for a toothache?, 9 2.3 participants answered yes and 59 15.2 participants answered I have no idea. While 142 36.6 participants thought that antibiotics affected bacteria, 7 1.8 participants thought that they were effective on viruses. In addition, 369 95.1 participants thought that unnecessary and misuse of antibiotics could cause antibiotic resistance, while 16 4.1 participants answered I have no idea. Conclusion: Dentistry students have the potential to raise awareness to limit inappropriate antibiotic use in their communities, and therefore their opinions about antibiotic use are important. It is thought that the results of this study can be a source for studies with larger participants.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Akdeniz Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi öğrencilerinin antibiyotik kullanım konusunda tutumlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya toplamda 388 diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların antibiyotik kullanım konusunda tutumlarının değerlendirilmesi için içerisine demografik bilgilerin de dahil edildiği 22 soruluk anket gönüllülük esasına dayanarak online olarak doldurulmuştur. Verilerin analizinde SPSS kullanılmış ve p 0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 208  53,6 sı kadın, 180  46,4 ü erkek olup yaş ortalaması 20,97 1,9 idi. Grip veya soğuk algınlığı gibi durumlarda antibiyotik kullanır mısınız? sorusuna 86  22,2 katılımcı evet, 302  77,8 katılımcı hayır cevabını verdi. 352  90,7 katılımcı antibiyotik kullanımına hekim önerisi ile başlarken, 32  8,2 katılımcı kendisinin karar verdiğini belirtti. 320  82,5 katılımcı Diş ağrısı için başvuran her hastaya antibiyotik reçete etmek gerektiğini düşünür müsünüz? sorusuna hayır cevabını verirken, 9 2,3 katılımcı evet, 59  15,2 katılımcı fikrim yok cevabını verdi. 142  36,6 katılımcı antibiyotiklerin bakteriler üzerine etkisi olduğunu düşünürken, 7  1,8 katılımcı virüsler üzerine etkili olduğunu düşünmekteydi. Ayrıca 369  95,1 katılımcı antibiyotiklerin gereksiz ve yanlış kullanımının antibiyotik direncine neden olabileceğini düşünürken 16  4,1 katılımcı fikrim yok cevabını verdi. Sonuç: Diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencileri, kendi topluluklarında uygun olmayan antibiyotik kullanımını sınırlamak için farkındalığı artırma potansiyeline sahiptir ve bu nedenle antibiyotik kullanımı hakkında fikirleri önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının daha geniş katılımcı ile yapılacak çalışmalara kaynak olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
