Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the Iranian ophthalmologists' knowledge of prescribing prophylactic antibiotics to patients with open globe injury (OGI) in Iran.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we utilized a questionnaire to evaluate the ophthalmologists' knowledge about prescribing antibiotics as prophylaxis. This survey was conducted in Tehran and its suburbs. The questionnaire included demographic information as well as ophthalmologists' knowledge levels. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine its validity and reliability. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0.

Results: Of 192 subjects, 111 (35 women, 76 men) were included. About 65 (58.6%) specialists and 45 (41.4%) subspecialists with different orientations completed the questionnaires. The total knowledge score was 13.04±2.96. The following are the results of ophthalmologists' responses to questions regarding the cornea/scleral injury (1.09±1.72), prophylactic antibiotics administration (2.79±1.11), the infectious agents in eye surgeries (3.21±1.49), diagnosis and treatment (2.84±0.944), and the effects of ocular antibiotics as well as their proper dosage (2.96±2.35). There was no significant relationship between some demographic information such as sex, working hours, workplace, and the number of studied articles (p>0.05). In addition, ophthalmologists with less work experience had significantly higher levels of knowledge than those with more work experience.

Conclusion: The findings indicated that the majority of ophthalmologists had a basic knowledge of prescribing prophylactic antibiotics in OGI.
