Abstract

Antibiotic compliance in Indonesia remains a significant concern, as improper dosage and duration of therapy contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Patient adherence plays a crucial role in preventing this issue. This study aims to assess the level of patient compliance with antibiotic usage at HKBP Balige Hospital. Employing a descriptive research design, the study presents a percentage-based analysis of compliance levels among patients receiving antibiotic therapy. Data were collected from 60 respondents. The results indicate that 59.10% of patients demonstrated adherence to prescribed antibiotic regimens, while 40.90% were non-compliant. These findings categorize the overall level of antibiotic compliance at HKBP Balige Hospital as satisfactory. The study recommends that HKBP Balige Hospital continue to enhance its pharmaceutical services, particularly in delivering comprehensive drug-related information to patients to further improve compliance and mitigate the risk of resistance
