Abstract

Antibiotic resistance in Vietnam is increasing and becoming more serious. Faced with this issue, the Ministry of Health emphasizes that the awareness of healthcare workers is especially important because they are the front line in protecting the effectiveness of antibiotics. In particular, pharmacists, who play a role in managing rational and effective drug use, are one of the important factors in controlling antibiotic resistance. Therefore, pharmacy students' knowledge on this issue needs attention. Therefore, the study " A survey of antibiotic consumption history and knowledge of antibiotic resistance of pharmacy students at lac hong university" was conducted. The study surveyed 277 students in the group, including : 1st, 2nd, 3rd year students (group 1) and 4th, 5th year students (group 2). The use of antibiotics without a doctor's prescription is high in group 2, however group 2 demonstrate better knowledge of antibiotic use. The percentage of students correctly aware of the problem of antibiotic resistance is higher in group 2, however it should be noted that about 30% of students in both groups believe that antibiotic resistance is not a problem in Viet Nam
