Parents play a crucial role in antibiotic use by children, directly impacting their clinical outcomes. This study aimed to assess the pattern of antibiotic use among parents and its related factors.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 parents randomly selected from the pediatric outpatient clinics of Al-Zahraa University Hospital, Cairo. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire about sociodemographic data, antibiotic use patterns, parental knowledge and attitudes, common sources of information, and reasons for self-prescribing antibiotics.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Out of the 400 parents surveyed, 87.7% were mothers with a mean age of 31.9\u2009\u00b1\u20097\u00a0years, 76% were highly educated, almost half were not working, 63% came from urban areas, and 95.2% had sufficient income. As for their children, 57.5% had male children; their average age was 5.5\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7\u00a0years. The misuse of antibiotics was prevalent among 37.2% (95% <jats:italic>CI<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200932.5\u201342.2%) of parents. When assessing parents\u2019 knowledge and attitude towards antibiotic use, 30.2% (95% <jats:italic>CI<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200925.8\u201335.0%) had good knowledge which was significantly more common among highly educated, working, and high-income parents, while the majority (72%, 95% <jats:italic>CI<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200967.3\u201376.3%) had a positive attitude. Having more and older children significantly increased the probability of antibiotic misuse, while a higher level of parental education and a positive attitude decreased the likelihood of such misuse (odds ratio (OR) was 1.31, 1.09, 0.52, and 0.11, respectively). Most parents obtained their information about antibiotics from physicians (92%) followed by experience\u00a0from previous prescription (58.5%). Moreover, among inappropriate users, previous prescriptions and the parent\u2019s perception of the child\u2019s illness as a nonurgent condition were the most frequently cited reasons for the parents\u2019 self-prescription of antibiotics (76.5% and 69.1%, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Approximately, one-third of surveyed parents demonstrated an inappropriate use of antibiotics. Despite possessing a highly positive attitude and a reasonable level of knowledge about antibiotics, parents often underestimate the potential adverse effects. Tailored measures to promote appropriate antibiotic use are therefore needed to combat the problem of antibiotic resistance.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s42506-024-00176-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T08:25:20Z","timestamp":1733387120000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Pattern of antibiotic use among children caregivers: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"99","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6191-7643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Doaa S.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asmaa M.","family":"AboElela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samar S.","family":"Ismail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeinab E.","family":"Hammour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rasha A.","family":"Fawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marwa E.","family":"Abdelmoniem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"176_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Sengupta S, Chattopadhyay MK, Grossart HP.
