Despite this growing concern, the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of poultry farm workers regarding antimicrobial use and resistance remains poorly understood in eastern Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess poultry farm workers' KAP toward antimicrobial use and resistance, and to identify associated factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      An institution\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among 414 randomly selected poultry farm workers from March 15 to April 27, 2025. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face\u2010to\u2010face interviews on ODK. Data were analyzed using STATA 14.

Similarly, farming experience was associated with knowledge (AOR\u2009=\u20092.6), attitudes (AOR\u2009=\u20094.4), and practices (AOR\u2009=\u20092.3). Source of information (AOR\u2009=\u200912.6) was associated with knowledge only, whereas access to veterinary services (AOR\u2009=\u20093.9) was associated with practices only.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study revealed significant gaps in participants' KAP regarding antimicrobial use and resistance. Education level and farming experience were significantly associated with KAP. Information source influenced knowledge, whereas availability of veterinary services influenced practices. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance poultry farm workers' KAP through implementing regular training programs that focus on the responsible use of antimicrobials and also through improving access to poultry health information and services to minimize AMR challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T07:19:21Z","timestamp":1786951161000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Poultry Farm Workers' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Eastern Ethiopia: An Institutional\u2010Based Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Abdi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Somali Regional State Pastoral Development Bureau Jigjiga Ethiopia"},{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Veterinary Public Health College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Kabridahar Kabridahar Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jemal","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Health and Medical Sciences Haramaya University Harar Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1140-093X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ukash","family":"Umer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Health and Medical Sciences Haramaya University Harar Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9392-6041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gada","family":"Diba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Health and Medical Sciences Haramaya University Harar Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7867-1483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fitsum","family":"Weldegebreal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Health and Medical Sciences Haramaya University Harar Ethiopia"},{"name":"Laboratory Bacteriology Research, Department of Diagnostic Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Ghent University Ghent Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","first-page":"248","article-title":"Assessment on Rural Poultry Production and Marketing System of Horro Chicken Ecotypes in Western Ethiopia","volume":"11","author":"Hundie D.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408398.2015.1077192"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/8354235"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13756-020-00847-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10081264"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","unstructured":"WHO.
