[ABSTRACT ] OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the knowledge of rational use of antibiotics among
pharmacists in medical institutions in China’s Shanxi province, so as to
find out the problems, then to provide support for the management of
antibiotics. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted, which
included the basic information of the respondents, the basic knowledge
of antimicrobial management and the related knowledge of antimicrobial.
SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: 462 pharmacists
were investigated. The average score of the knowledge related to
rational use of antibiotics was (10.49±4.05). It showed that the
hospital type, grade, pharmacist’s education, professional title and
working years all had effect on the pharmacists’ mastery of
antimicrobial related knowledge (P<0.05). Multivariate
logistic regression analysis showed that hospital grade and pharmacist’s
education were the main influencing factors (P <0.05).

application of antibacterial drugs. It is essential to strengthen the
training of management regulations and application of antibacterial
drugs.
