Development and validation of a psychometric scale for assessing pharmacy students' perceptions and attitudes toward antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship in Indonesia: the PATARAS study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Appropriate perceptions and attitudes of pharmacists toward antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are essential. However, AMR attitudes and perceptions have not been assessed in Indonesia. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to evaluate pharmacy students' Perceptions and Attitudes toward Antibiotic Resistance and Antimicrobial Stewardship (PATARAS) and investigate the relationship between students' perceptions and attitudes toward antibiotic resistance and stewardship. Using purposive sampling, 500 undergraduate pharmacy students were included in the study. The 20-item PATARAS questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales was developed. The PATARAS includes perception (rational drug use (RDU) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)) and attitude (professional role (PRO) and inappropriate practice (IPP)) domains. The validity (convergent and discriminant) of the PATARAS was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The CFA model fit was assessed using various goodness-of-fit indices. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's Omega (ω) values. The relationship between subdomains was evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM). The PATARAS questionnaire achieved acceptable convergent and discriminant validity. The CFA model achieved a good fit. The reliability was good with α and ω values of 0.817 and 0.845, respectively. The SEM showed that RDU and AMS were positively correlated with PRO (β = 0.121 and 0.539, respectively, p < 0.05); RDU and IPP were also positively correlated (β = 0.313, p < 0.05), while AMS and IPP were negatively correlated (β = - 0.275, p < 0.05). The PATARAS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing undergraduate pharmacy students' perceptions and attitudes toward AMR and AMS.
