Healthcare Students' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Antibiotic Resistance and Use in Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Antibiotic resistance threatens global health, underscoring healthcare students' critical role in mitigation efforts. This study evaluated their knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward antibiotic resistance and use. Methods: A validated, self-administered, paper-based questionnaire was developed following an extensive literature review and administered to final-year medical, dental, Pharm D, and pharmacy students at the University of Jordan from October 2022 to March 2023. Results: Descriptive, nonparametric, and logistic regression analyses were conducted on 263 eligible questionnaires. Students demonstrated adequate knowledge (4.30/5) and positive attitudes (4.19/5), but poor practices (4.78/6). Most felt responsible for resistance (89.73%) and reported efforts to combat self-medication (77.95%). However, irresponsible antibiotic use was noted (78.33%). Females scored higher in practice (5.29) than males (4.70, Conclusions: 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.
