“…Finally, the irrational drug use has been detected as a separate impact for restricting access to comprehensive health care among refugees community. The irrational drug use through self-medication is found to be common in some countries and have shown an extended risk to community members as whole by escalating antibiotic resistance in host communities and worldwide (Priyadharsini, 2019). On the other hand, the underutilization of justified drugs will have negative impact especially for those with chronic conditions who might develop complications that negatively impact their quality of life and transfer them to a higher costly level of care (Daynes, 2016).…”

Purpose Access to health-care services for refugees are always impacted by many factors and strongly associated with population profile, nature of crisis and capacities of hosing countries. Throughout refugee’s crisis, the Jordanian Government has adopted several healthcare access policies to meet the health needs of Syrian refugees while maintaining the stability of the health-care system. The adopted health-care provision policies ranged from enabling to restricting and from affordable to unaffordable. The purpose of this paper is to identify the influence of restricted level of access to essential health services among Syrian refugees in Jordan. Design/methodology/approach This paper used findings of a cross-sectional surveys conducted over urban Syrian refugees in Jordan in 2017 and 2018 over two different health-care access policies. The first were inclusive and affordable, whereas the other considered very restricting policy owing to high inflation in health-care cost. Access indicators from four main thematic areas were selected including maternal health, family planning, child health and monthly access of household. A comparison between both years’ access indicators was conducted to understand access barriers and its impact. Findings The comparison between findings of both surveys shows a sudden shift in health-care access and utilization behaviors with increased barriers level thus increased health vulnerabilities. Additionally, the finding during implementation of restricted access policy proves the tendency among some refugees groups to adopt negative adaptation strategies to reduce health-care cost. The participants shifted to use a fragmented health-care, reduced or delayed care seeking and use drugs irrationally weather by self-medication or reduce drug intake. Originality/value Understanding access barriers to health services and its negative short-term and long-term impact on refugees’ health status as well as the extended risks to the host communities will help states that hosting refugees building rational access policy to protect whole community and save public health gains during and post crisis. Additionally, it will support donors to better mobilize resources according to the needs while the humanitarian actors and service providers will better contribute to the public health stability during refugee’s crisis.

Background: The resistance of the bacteria toward the antibiotics is growing day by day, and it is a serious threat globally. The reasons are self-medication, unjustified prescription of antibiotics, high use of antibiotics in livestock, and nonadherence to antibiotic treatment guidelines by prescribers. The aim of the present study is to assess the knowledge and attitude of the prescribers toward the prescription of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire which contains questions to assess the knowledge and attitude of the prescribers. The questionnaire had three parts: the first part was used to obtain the basic demographic characteristics from participants, the second part had questions regarding the antibiotic indication in common infections, and the third part assessed the knowledge questions about antibiotic resistance. The questionnaire was attempted by eighty prescribers. Results: More than 50% of the medical practitioners agreed that antibiotics had to be used for some common infections such as acute gastroenteritis, asymptomatic bacteriuria in nonpregnant patients, and burn wounds with no evidence of infection. The knowledge of the prescribers regarding antibiotic resistance is variable. Conclusion: A higher percentage of the prescribers responded in favor of the use of antibiotics for common infections. It requires an awareness program to sensitize the prescribers regarding the prescription of antibiotics for appropriate indications and the seriousness of antibiotic resistance.
