Medical Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Motivation towards Antimicrobial Resistance Efforts in Eastern Uganda

This study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and motivations of medical students at Busitema University in Uganda regarding Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). The research found that 71.5% of students had sufficient knowledge on AMR, 90% recognized its importance, and 87.5% appreciated the need for training using a One Health Approach. The most common reasons for extracurricular efforts were peer influence, university support, and peer mentors’ work. The study concludes that students have a high level of knowledge and positive attitudes towards AMR, but need further in-depth training.
