J Egypt Public Health Assoc
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance is a critical issue largely driven by the inappropriate use of antibiotics by parents, which influences children's health outcomes.
- A study of 400 parents at Al-Zahraa University Hospital found that 37.2% misused antibiotics, with knowledge about proper use being better among highly educated and working parents.
- Access to doctors and past prescriptions were the main information sources, and misuse was more likely with older or multiple children, while better education and positive attitudes helped reduce misuse.
Background: Violence against women is a distressing issue particularly when they are infertile. Nevertheless, many women who are infertile and exposed to violence continue their marriage and justify such choice.
Aim: The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of violence against infertile women and its associated factors.
