Pre-Interventional Post-Interventional
Parameter n (%) n (%)
I follow the AWaRe classification of antibiotics in my practice.
  ○ Agree/Strongly agree 5 (21.74) 38 (58.46)
  ○ Disagree/Strongly disagree 9 (39.14) 6 (9.23)
  ○ Neutral 9 (39.14) 21 (32.31)
The hospital’s regulations and guidelines encourage considering AWaRe classification of antibiotics in my practice

  ○ Disagree/Strongly disagree 8 (34.78) 2 (3.08)
  ○ Neutral 6 (26.09) 17 (26.15)
I believe that following the AWaRe classification of antibiotics helps in reduction the rate of antibiotics resistance
