Popis: Svjedoci smo svakodnevnih novih spoznaja u medicini, no za neke probleme još uvijek teško nalazimo rješenje. Jedan od problema o kojem se u zadnje vrijeme sve glasnije, premda još uvijek nedovoljno, govori je otpornost bakterija na antibiotike. Posljednjih desetljeća pojačani su napori u poboljšanju svjesnosti o tom problemu, kako u laika tako i u medicinskih profesionalaca. U radu su prikazani rezultati ankete o znanju i stavovima medicinskih sestara/tehničara o antibioticima i antibiotskoj rezistenciji. U istraživanju su sudjelovali medicinske sestre/tehničari svih profila i mjesta zaposlenja, kao i studenti preddiplomskog studija sestrinstva. Anketa je obuhvatila 544 sudionika. Uz demografske podatke prikupljeni su podaci u stavovima i znanju o antibiotskoj rezistenciji, antibioticima u okolišu, o akcijama promocije svjesnosti o antibioticima, higijeni ruku, prilikama za uporabu znanja u svakodnevnom radu te motivaciji za uporabu znanja. Dobiveni rezultati uspoređeni su sa rezultatima sličnog istraživanja koje je provedeno među medicinskim djelatnicima Europske unije 2019. godine. Usporedivost je osigurana korištenjem standardiziranog upitnika. Cilj istraživanja je identificiranje znanja i stavova medicinskih sestara/tehničara i studenata sestrinstva o antibioticima i otpornosti na antibiotike, istražiti utjecaje odabranih parametara na njih, i usporedba rezultata s europskim prosjekom. Prema rezultatima ankete, na objektivno znanje o antibioticima i antibiotskoj rezistenciji najveći utjecaj ima stupanj obrazovanja. Obrazac motivacije u usporedbi s europskim prosjekom specifičan je zbog hrvatskog zdravstvenog sustava, gdje je medicinskim sestrama/tehničarima dana razmjerno mala važnost. Mada su na nekim poljima po znanju sudionici ankete daleko ispred europskog prosjeka, u cijelosti uzeti rezultati pokazuju da tek najobrazovanije medicinske sestre/tehničari dostižu europski prosjek znanja. Rezultati ankete podudaraju se s podacima iz literature, koji ukazuju na potrebu uvođenja praktično primjenjivih znanja u školske kurikulume te učestale tematske kratke tečajeve trajnog usavršavanja. We are witnessing new knowledge in medicine on a daily basis, but it is still difficult to find a solution to some problems. One of the problems that has been getting increased attention is the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. In recent decades, efforts have been intensified to raise awareness of this problem, both among lay people and among medical professionals. This paper presents the results of a survey on the knowledge and attitudes of nurses / technicians about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. The research involved nurses / technicians of all profiles and places of employment, as well as undergraduate students of nursing. The survey included 544 participants. In addition to demographics, data was collected on attitudes and knowledge about antibiotic resistance, antibiotics in the environment, actions promoting antibiotic awareness, hand hygiene, opportunities to use knowledge in everyday work and motivation to use knowledge. The obtained results were compared with the results of a similar survey conducted among medical professionals of the European Union in 2019. Comparability was ensured using a standardized questionnaire. The aim of the research was to identify the knowledge and attitudes of nurses / technicians and nursing students about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, to investigate the effects of selected parameters on them, and to compare the results with the European average. According to results of the survey, degree of education has the greatest impact on objective knowledge about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. The pattern of motivation compared to the European average is specific due to the Croatian health system, where nurses / technicians are given relatively little importance. Although in some fields the knowledge of the survey participants is far ahead of the European average, the overall results show that only the most educated nurses / technicians can compare with the European average. The results of the survey coincide with data from prior literature, which indicate the need to introduce practically applicable knowledge in school curricula and frequent thematic short continuing education courses.
