Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of antimicrobial resistance and stewardship among pediatric health professionals in Maputo, Mozambique

Abstract

Pediatric healthcare professionals at Maputo Central Hospital are generally aware of antimicrobial resistance and exhibit positive attitudes toward antimicrobial stewardship. However, notable gaps exist in their knowledge and practices. Strengthening antimicrobial stewardship education, increasing access to treatment guidelines, and integrating antimicrobial stewardship training into routine professional development are recommended to improve appropriate antimicrobial prescribing.
