Prevalence and associated factors influencing the use of antibiotics for self-medication among Chinese residents: a cross-sectional study in 2021
The SMA issue of Chinese residents is still relatively serious. Residents' SMA was associated with their demographic and sociological characteristics, depression, family health, and perceived level of social support. The primary consideration for resident SMA is the advice of medical staff. The problem of SMA in China should be improved through antibiotic management, education on antibiotic knowledge, and medical staff's correct guidance.
