| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立陽明大學 === 國際衛生碩士學位學程 === 102 === Potentially inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is becoming a serious issue in last few years in Mongolia. The study aimed to investigate overprescribing is common in treatment of pediatric upper respiratory tract infections and examine factors that influence prescribing antibiotics. This was a cross-sectional study and the questionnaires were distributed in 6 Central District Hospitals and the 37 Family Health Centers and Emergency Medical Service Center in Ulaanbaatar. The final sample included 340 physicians. Six case-scenarios were adopted to assess physicians’ self- reported practice. Additional questions were explored physician’s beliefs and factors for antibiotic prescribing. GEE model used.
Total scores of the six case scenarios were sum up. The average score was 3.0/6.0 points .Only 6 physicians answered perfectly to all six case scenarios. 306 were pure over-prescribers. Some characteristics such as physician age, gender, having a child, medical school and patient volume are significantly associated with potentially inappropriate antibiotic prescribing.
