An educational video showed a modest impact on parent knowledge and beliefs regarding oral antibiotic use. A multifaceted approach targeting parents and physicians is recommended for judicious antibiotic prescribing.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Health Communication

Background:

  • Parental knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors significantly influence antibiotic use.
  • Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing contributes to antimicrobial resistance.
  • Educational interventions are crucial for promoting judicious antibiotic use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational video in improving parental knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors concerning oral antibiotic use.
  • To assess the impact of an educational intervention on parental understanding of appropriate antibiotic indications.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted in urban and suburban clinical settings.
  • Parents were assigned to an intervention group (video and brochure) or a control group.

  • Knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors were assessed at baseline and 2-month follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in overall parent knowledge, beliefs, or behaviors were observed between groups.
    • Subgroup analysis revealed improved knowledge scores in the urban clinic intervention group.
    • The urban intervention group was more likely to perceive issues with over-prescribing antibiotics.

    Conclusions:

    • The educational video had a limited effect on parental knowledge, beliefs, and self-reported behaviors regarding oral antibiotics.
    • A multifaceted approach involving both parents and healthcare providers is necessary for promoting judicious antibiotic use.
    • Future interventions should consider tailored strategies for different clinical settings.
