Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate mothers' perception of antibiotic use for their children. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of a convenient sample of 210 mothers who visited the two pediatric hospitals in D city. Descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS WIN 24.0 were used to analyze the data. Results: The perception of mothers on antibiotic use for their children was relatively low (3.28/5) and showed a statistically significant difference based on the mothers' educational background (${\chi}^2=15.30$, p<.001). About 57-77% of participants discontinued or reduced the dosage of the antibiotics if their children's symptoms were relieved, and about 60% of them perceived that antibiotics treat viral infections. Mothers' adherence to specific doses of antibiotics in their children was positively correlated with their knowledge and beliefs (r=.17, p=.014) and their attitude regarding the use of antibiotics (r=.17, p=.014). Only 1.4% of the participants had educational experience regarding the correct use of antibiotics. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that an educational program for mothers should be developed and to verify its effects in order to induce proper use of antibiotics among mothers.
