Objectives: The study was conducted to identify and compile gaps in the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) regarding Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) among healthcare workers in India.

Methods: A systematic review of published literature from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases was conducted in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria focused on studies evaluating KAP toward AMR among various healthcare workers in India without restricting context to specific diseases. We included articles published from inception to December 2023.

Results: Following the inclusion criterion, 19 studies were selected for the review. The study has a cumulative sample size of 4,544 healthcare providers across India. We found that doctors and medical students have significant knowledge about AMR, followed by nurses and pharmacists. However, the attitudes toward AMR were higher among informal providers, followed by doctors and medical students. The study also observed a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application of AMR principles among healthcare providers in India.

Conclusion: The study highlights the need for targeted training and policy interventions to bridge the gap between KAP regarding AMR. Healthcare providers can significantly contribute to mitigating AMR threat by improving KAP related to AMR. This systematic review provides a foundation for developing and implementing effective evidence-based strategies to enhance AMR containment in India.

目标： 本研究旨在识别并整理印度医疗工作者在抗生素耐药性（AMR）方面的知识、态度和实践（KAP）中的差距。

方法： 根据PRISMA指南，对PubMed、Google Scholar和Scopus数据库中已发表文献进行了系统综述。纳入标准侧重于评估印度不同医疗工作者在抗生素耐药性方面的知识态度的无特定疾病背景的研究。我们包括了从创刊到2023年12月期间发布的文章。

结果： 根据纳入标准，共选择了19项研究进行审查。这项研究涵盖了印度4544名医疗工作者的样本量。我们发现医生和医学生对抗生素耐药性有显著的知识，其次是护士和药剂师。然而，在抗生素耐药性的态度方面，非正式提供者的态度最高，接着是医生和医学生。此外，该研究表明在理论知识与印度医疗工作者实际应用AMR原则之间存在差距。

结论： 本研究强调了为缩小关于抗生素耐药性方面的KAP差距进行有针对性培训和政策干预的必要性。通过改善与抗生素耐药性相关的知识、态度和实践，医疗工作者可以显著减少AMR威胁。该系统评价为进一步开发和实施有效的基于证据策略以增强印度抗生素耐药性防控奠定了基础。
