Abstract：
:Misconceptions about antibiotics among the public can potentially lead to their inappropriate use. Currently, there is no antibiotic knowledge assessment tool to address this issue. This study aimed to develop and validate an antibiotic knowledge scale (AKS) and apply this scale to assess public knowledge about antibiotics in China. An initial 18-item AKS was designed and validated among 1180 people recruited in June 2017. After removing redundant items, the reliability and validity of the AKS were examined. Subsequently, a nationwide survey was conducted, and 12,772 people were recruited using multistage sampling and surveyed using the developed AKS. A logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with poor knowledge about antibiotics. The final AKS included two screening items and fifteen knowledge evaluation items. Cronbach's alpha, test-retest reliability, and split-half reliability were 0.91, 0.88, and 0.89, respectively. These knowledge evaluation items were loaded in four distinct factors that explained 70.72% of cumulative variance among respondents. Using the developed AKS to assess public knowledge about antibiotics among 12,772 participants, the mean score on the AKS was 7.25 and 67% of participants had poor antibiotic knowledge, which was associated with male gender, rural residence, lower educational level, poor economic status, living in western China, and lacking education on antibiotics. The AKS demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity in identifying the population with poor antibiotic knowledge. Importantly, the majority of participants had inadequate knowledge about antibiotics. Thus, it is necessary to conduct interventions focusing on improving public knowledge about antibiotics.
