Evaluasi Pelayanan Antibiotik Tanpa Resep di Apotek Kabupaten Bondowoso dengan Metode Kuesioner
Abstract
Antibiotics are a group of drugs that provide clear benefits in the treatment
of bacterial infections, and their acquisition requires a doctor's prescription. The
use of antibiotics without a prescription is a triggering factor for antibiotic
resistance. Pharmacies are common facilities where antibiotics are purchased
without a prescription. This research uses a cross-sectional approach design with
descriptive analysis techniques. The study sample consists of 42 pharmacies
located in four districts in Bondowoso Regency, including Bondowoso District,
Tenggarang District, Grujugan District, and Maesan District. The sampling
technique used is total sampling, and the instrument used is a questionnaire that
has undergone validity and reliability tests.
The research results show that the majority of respondents include 23
pharmacists (92%), 15 pharmacy assistants (68,2%), and 1 other staff (33,3%)
with good knowledge. A total of 38 respondents (76%) have provided antibiotic
services without a prescription, while the remaining 12 respondents (24%) have
not. The largest percentage is 30 respondents (78.9%) who mention that the
driving factor for providing antibiotics without a prescription in this study is the
patient's belief that they need antibiotics based on their symptoms. The knowledge
level of most respondents is considered good, but it does not reflect that their
service practices are in line with standards. This is evidenced by the high
frequency of antibiotic services without a prescription in pharmacies in
Bondowoso Regency. It is necessary to emphasize regulations related to antibiotic
use as an effort to prevent antibiotic resistance.
