Pharmacists in antibiotic resistance prevention education at Makassar Mandai Market

Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections. The thing that must be considered by pharmacists is the use of antibiotics without a doctor's prescription where if used incorrectly it will cause the problem of antibiotic resistance in a population. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase public basic knowledge of current treatment by providing drug information or education to the community. This activity was carried out by gathering 50 respondents to conduct interviews (pre-test and post-test) and public education on the theme of antibiotic resistance. Based on the results obtained, the community's understanding in terms of the use of antibiotics is increas ing regarding the rules for use and when to use antibiotics. The public understand s for free to buy antibiotics without a doctor's prescription is bad cho ise and there people who based knowledge about antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial resistance, or drug resistance addition. Public understanding of the use of antibiotics is still low. This was proven when people bought antibiotics freely anywhere.


INTRODUCTION
Pharmacists have the responsibility to carry out pharmaceutical work which includes quality control of pharmaceutical preparations, security, procurement, storage and distribution or distribution of drugs, drug management, drug services on doctor's prescription, including drug information services (Kates et al., 2021).The partner for this activity is the Mandai Market, Makassar City administrator.City health department informed that most of the people there often use drugs without proper regulation and control from doctors or pharmacists.The location which is far from the city center, universities, and health facilities means that health information is not maximal, especially about drugs.One thing that must be considered as a pharmacist is the service of drugs on a doctor's prescription.Drugs prescribed by doctors for patients aim to be able to cure disease, relieve symptoms, and prevent disease from appearing or occurring by using the right dosage so that the drug will work optimally.Drugs have different activities in curing and or preventing a disease.Minor illnesses caused by bacterial infections are common in everyday life, such as diarrhea, ulcers, urinary tract infections, and etc.The bacteria will infect certain areas and can spread quickly.The spread of bacteria can be through direct contact with sufferers or through media intermediaries that have been contaminated with these bacteria (de Brito et al., 2019;Toh et al., 2017).
Treatment of minor illnesses caused by bacterial infections with antibiotics.Antibiotics are antimicrobial drugs used to treat bacterial infections.The high prevalence of infectious diseases has increased the use of antibiotics in public (Ivoryanto, 2017).Antibiotics must be used with a doctor's prescription.Several developing and developed countries have experienced an increase in the use of antibiotics without a doctor's prescription and have the potential for resistance due to the use of antibiotics.Antibiotics used inappropriately will trigger Multiple Drug Resistance (Thoma et al., 2022).The problem of resistance caused by uncontrolled use of drugs, especially antibiotics, is one of them due to their use without a doctor's prescription.Public easily get antibiotics without recommendations or prescriptions from authorized health workers, especially doctors and pharmacists, which is a trigger factor for antibiotic resistance.The purchase of antibiotics at health facilities, especially in pharmacies, is carried out by the community in the context of self-medication without getting an explanation and lack of knowledge about the rules for using antibiotics and the appropriate indications (Spaulding et al., 2018).
One of the efforts to increase public compliance and awareness of current medication is to provide direct drug information or education.Information provided to patients can increase knowledge, change behavior, provide motivation and increase awareness in drug use.The knowledge possessed by pharmacists is expected to be a starting point for changes in patient attitudes and lifestyles which in turn will change their behavior and can increase patient adherence to medication (Ahmed et al., 2021;Arrang et al., 2019;Drekonja et al., 2021).Communication between pharmacists and the community is called direct education, and this is one form of implementation of pharmaceutical care (Rusmini, 2019).This service aims to be a form of professional application for the community around Mandai Market, Makassar City in increasing awareness and compliance in recognizing antibiotics and the risk of antibiotic resistance that might occur in people who especially do not have a health background.This is the basis for young pharmacist candidates to devote themselves to providing solutions and education regarding this matter.

METHODS
The educational design of this activity is to provide information to partner visitors to the Mandai Market, Makassar City.The problem with residents around these partners is a lack of understanding of using antibiotics properly or rationally to prevent antibiotic resistance.The dedication was carried out using tools in the form of a questionnaire to find out the respondent's initial knowledge about antibiotics.In this activity the number of samples in public education at the Mandai Market reached 50 respondents who were determined using the consecutive sampling method, namely all subjects who were willing to be taken as respondents.

Activity Preparation
Preparations are made to support the success of community service activities and overcome any technical problems during implementation.Preparation for community service activities begins on June 18 2022 and is in the form of: (1) Formation of group members (education team); (2) Group discussions via online; (3) Location observation and assessment of service activity partners (Mandai Market); (4) Preparation of tools and materials needed (gifts, masks, hand sanitizer, consumption, brochures, list of antibiotics); (5) Determining the location of interview points to assess respondents' knowledge and provide health education on antibiotic resistance; (6) Selection of respondents using the consecutive sampling method in the Mandai Market environment, Biringkanaya District based on the independent consent of the respondents

Activities Implementation
Health promotion activities with the theme of antibiotic resistance health education were carried out on Monday 27 June 2022.This activity was carried out by gathering 50 respondents to conduct interviews (pre-test and post-test) to find out and compare the respondents' initial knowledge and see any changes after being given education.Education on the proper and rational use of antibiotics is useful for increasing knowledge or strengthening respondents' perceptions if they already understand antibiotics beforehand.All Pre-test and Post-test questions (https://bit.ly/kuesioner-amr-angk12)are made in the form of online filling in real time and the data taken is also recorded manually.Respondents who had finished were then given gifts as thanks.

Activity Material
In this activity direct interviews were conducted to obtain information from respondents.The questions used are adaptations of WHO information related to antibiotic resistance (Zang et al., 2013).The first statement that says "Antibiotic resistance is caused because the body rejects the drug so that the antibiotic no longer functions properly" the exact answer is wrong because antibiotic resistance is not caused by the body rejecting the drug but bacteria that are in the body that have the ability to fight antibiotics.As many as 28 respondents said the statement above was true and only 22 respondents said it was wrong.Furthermore, the second statement "Infectious diseases that are resistant/resistant/not resistant to antibiotics are increasing" the dominant respondent gave the appropriate statement, namely "true" because more and more diseases are caused by bacteria, for example Staphylococcus aureus bacteria which are no longer able to be treated with antibiotics methicillin group.As many as 36 respondents stated that the statement above was true and the remaining 14 respondents stated that it was wrong.For the third statement "If the bacteria are resistant/immune to antibiotics, it will be very difficult or impossible to cure", is a true statement because bacteria that have undergone gene mutations for a group, for example methicillin, will be very difficult to cure with the methicillin group, for example MRSA, as many as 15 respondents said it was true and 35 respondents said it was wrong.
The fourth statement is "Antibiotic resistance is an event that can happen to me and my family." The correct answer at this point is "true" because everyone has the possibility of developing antibiotic resistance in themselves if they don't use antibiotics properly, this is according to the respondent's answer, namely as many as 35 stated true and 15 respondents stated wrong.The fifth statement is "Antibiotic resistance only occurs in other countries, but does not occur here", this statement is a "false" statement because antibiotic resistance is a worldwide health problem not only in one country or only in foreign countries but also occurs in Indonesia, at this point as many as 9 respondents said they were right and 41 respondents said they were wrong.The sixth statement is "Antibiotic resistance occurs only in people who use antibiotics regularly", as many as 12 respondents said this was true and 38 respondents said it was wrong, antibiotic resistance also occurs in people who use antibiotics regularly but are not used properly, for example the use of antibiotics without a doctor's prescription and stop taking antibiotics if you feel the pain is improving.
The seventh statement "Bacteria that are resistant/resistant to antibiotics can be transmitted to other people" this statement is appropriate because bacterial resistance is a disease that is transmitted to fellow humans.10 respondents said the above statement was true and 40 respondents said it was wrong.The eighth statement is "Infection caused by resistant/immune bacteria will increase the risk of harm from medical procedures such as surgery, organ transplantation and cancer treatment" as many as 33 respondents stated that the above was true and only 17 respondents considered the above to be false.The above statement is true, because when a person suffers from an infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to a class of antibiotics, the risk of danger in medical procedures such as surgery increases.The last statement "In your opinion, are antibiotics widely used in animal husbandry and agriculture in our country" as many as 9 respondents said it was true and 41 other respondents stated the statement above was wrong, the statement above is a true statement because of the use of antibiotics that are often used in animal husbandry and agriculture which is one of the big problems causing antibiotic resistance today.

Discussion
This community education activity was carried out with the aim of increasing the community's knowledge and skills in the use of antibiotic drugs.Based on the National Health System, health is not only the responsibility of health workers but requires community participation.In order to achieve a better degree of public health, integrated and comprehensive health efforts are carried out in the form of individual health efforts and community health efforts.Problems regarding health at the Mandai Market, Pai Subdistrict, Biringkanaya District, Makassar City, one of which is related to public awareness and knowledge regarding the proper and good use of antibiotics is still lacking.Society still needs a harder effort from all parties, especially health workers to be able to understand the wise and rational use of antibiotics (Atmaja & Rahmadina, 2019;Farida et al., 2016;García-Robles et al., 2018).
Based on the interview results it is known that the percentage of respondents' characteristics is more dominant female (31 people) than male (19 people), with an age distribution of 25-34 years old as many as 5 people, 35-44 years old as many as 14 people, 45-54 years old years as many as 21 people,

For testing the level of knowledge of respondents about antibiotics, it shows that some respondents have a very minimal level of knowledge about antibiotics.This is indicated by the number of respondents who stopped using antibiotics when they felt better.Most of the respondents know that antibiotics are drugs used to treat diseases caused by bacteria but at the same time they also think that antibiotics can also be used to treat diseases caused by viruses such as colds, measles and fever.This happens because it is possible that the public still thinks antibiotics are "magical drugs" or "cures for all diseases" so that misunderstandings arise in the community regarding indications that can be cured using antibiotics.Based on the data, it is known that the percentage of respondents' knowledge about the term resistant is very minimal, especially the terms SUPERBUG, antimicrobial resistance, and AMR.
Table 5 shows that the percentage of respondents' knowledge about antibiotic resistance is still lacking, as evidenced by the data on the percentage of respondents' answers that are still wrong on matters relating to antibiotics (Dewi, 2018;Lakhundi & Zhang, 2018).The constraints encountered during the activity process were during the process of filling in the questionnaire data because the network was in an unstable location, there were some respondents who did not understand the questions, and some respondents refused to be interviewed due to misunderstandings.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This service activity is a form of concern for young pharmacists for the middle to lower class of society regarding the understanding of antibiotics.This community education activity with the theme of antibiotic resistance shows that people's understanding in terms of the use of antibiotics does not sufficiently understand the rules for using and when they should use antibiotics.The number of people using antibiotics freely is still high and they can buy antibiotics without a doctor's prescription or advice from a pharmacist.The number of people who understand about antibiotic resistance and anti-microbial resistance is still small.The limitation in this service is that it is carried out in public places with a fairly high level of activity which makes the concentration of activities divided, but places like this are universities that can have direct contact with the community.Thus, it can be suggested that the implementation of this service can be carried out in a multi-centre manner for certain community groups.Meanwhile, for health professionals, especially pharmacists, it is very necessary to conduct widespread education regarding understanding related to antibiotic resistance and also how to prevent it so that it can reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance among the general public.
