Healthcare Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Antibiotic Resistance and Use in Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study
Knowledge and practices varied across healthcare majors, highlighting educational gaps. Systematic interdisciplinary clinical exposure paired with periodic discussions could enhance interprofessional knowledge sharing, inform decision-making, and foster trust between disciplines. Male students' poorer practices may stem from an unmet need for career-oriented education that aligns with their career trajectories; incorporating internships could improve their engagement to education and prudent behaviors. Despite limitations in generalizability and potential sampling bias, these findings align with existing literature, suggesting relevance beyond the study sample.
