Abstract
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el nivel de conocimiento sobre antibióticos en usuarios del Hospital de Tocache durante el año 2026. La metodología fue de enfoque cuantitativo, tipo básico, nivel descriptivo y diseño no experimental transversal. La muestra constó de 282 usuarios seleccionados mediante muestreo probabilístico, aplicando un cuestionario validado. Los resultados demostraron que el conocimiento global fue mayoritariamente medio (50.7%), seguido de un nivel bajo (30.9%) y alto (18.4%), alertando tasas de error mayores al 59% en automedicación y mitos de eficacia. Se concluye que el conocimiento sobre antibióticos es deficitario en la población, evidenciando la necesidad urgente de implementar programas de consejería farmacéutica en el punto de dispensación para mitigar riesgos de resistencia bacteriana.
This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge regarding antibiotics among users of the Tocache Hospital in 2026. The methodology employed a quantitative approach, basic research type, descriptive level, and a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 282 users selected through probability sampling, using a validated questionnaire. The results showed that overall knowledge was predominantly moderate (50.7%), followed by low (30.9%) and high (18.4%) levels; notably, error rates exceeded 59% regarding self-medication and misconceptions about antibiotic efficacy. It is concluded that knowledge about antibiotics is deficient within this population, highlighting an urgent need to implement pharmaceutical counseling programs at the point of dispensing to mitigate the risks of bacterial resistance.
