Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the factors associated with preventive behaviors in the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in Korean nursing students. Knowledge was found to be an important variable in eliciting preventive behaviors in antibiotic overuse and misuse; however, information in one's family or personal medical history negatively affected such behaviors. Preventive behaviors in the overuse and misuse of antibiotics are important for nursing students, as future health professionals.
