The Perception of Misuse of Antibiotics in Jordanian People is a research study authored by Ahmad Khalaf Alkawaldeh, Malek Khalaf Albzeirat, and Nadhum H. Safir. The study examines public perceptions and patterns of antibiotic misuse among the Jordanian population, highlighting the gap between awareness of antimicrobial resistance and the continued inappropriate use of antibiotics for self-limiting illnesses. It explores the factors influencing irrational antibiotic use, including easy access to medications, financial incentives, limited diagnostic capabilities, and physicians' concerns about potential complications. The research emphasizes the need for stronger antimicrobial stewardship programs, improved public health education, stricter regulation of antibiotic dispensing, and evidence-based prescribing practices to reduce inappropriate antibiotic consumption and combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Keywords: Antibiotics, Antibiotic misuse, Antimicrobial resistance, Jordanian population, Public health, Rational drug use, Antibiotic stewardship, Healthcare awareness.
