Knowledge Attitude and Practice Regarding Bloodstream Bacterial Infections and Antibiotics Usage Among Doctors.

An online questionnaire will be sent through e-mail to participants. It is divided into 4 sections: demography and general information 9 questions, knowledge 10 questions, attitude 10 questions and practice 10 questions. No previous similar studies were conducted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or internationally based on a search in PubMed and Cochrane library. Hence a validated questionnaire is lacking. Therefore, the questionnaire for this study is designed based on questions encountered daily by colleagues during the consultation, and it can serve the purpose of this study. Consent will be obtained and signed electronically by participants before starting the questionnaire. Participation involves minimal risk. Responses will be anonymous and confidential. Participants' involvement is voluntary, and they can withdraw at any time without any consequences. The time to complete the questionnaire is around 10-15 minutes. Each response will be saved using a unique identifier number.
