Participation in the study was completely optional, and participants were free to drop out at any point. During the months of February-May 2022, nurses were asked to participate in a survey Results: The study found 48.2% of nurses given prescribed antibiotics to the patients daily or multiple times a day in the preceding week; 13.3% of nurses provided support on daily or more frequent antibacterial drugs use or infection management. The reason for not giving advice regarding antibiotics were no leaflet regarding the use of the antibiotics (42.3%) and the patients do not get attention for the information (30.4%). Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this study show that public health actions are needed (e.g., educational or communication campaigns). Nurses must be educated on the proper use of antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic stewardship can benefit from the findings, which can be used to develop interventions aimed at improving antibiotic usage.
