Abstract
The prescription of antibiotics for diagnosed upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) is frequently practiced. Furthermore, inappropriate use has been implicated in numerous problems, including the onset of resistance. This study is, therefore, aimed to evaluate the antibiotic prescribing quality for respiratory tract disease diagnosed at the outpatients of primary healthcare centers in Tegal District, Central Java, Indonesia. In addition, cross-sectional evaluation was employed, using data obtained within the period of June–August, 2018 in six locations, and subsequently subjected to qualitative analysis. The prescribing quality was evaluated by comparing the drug selected, dosage, frequency, and duration of administration stated in the prescriptions, with the terms in the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Healthcare Facilities, 2014. A total of 1453 samples were selected through purposive sampling, where 632 were diagnosed with respiratory tract diseases, with common cold as the most frequent diagnosis (87.2%). In addition, exactly 621 (98.3%) failed to fulfill the rational antibiotic prescribing criteria, evidenced by irrational drug selection (22.0%), dosage (9.5%), frequency (1.7%), and duration of administration (65.0%). The physicians tend to comply more with the national treatment guidelines (OR: 1.828, 95%CI: 0.486–6.874, p-value 0.365), and the less experience of prescribers (<12 years of service) was identified as a negative contributing factor (OR: 0.536, 95%CI: 0.143–2.016, p-value 0.349). Furthermore, irrational prescription was observed in a much larger proportion, influenced by the prescribers’ qualification and experience. This association is currently not significant, due to deficiency of influencing samples
