BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance will cause about 10 million deaths per year by 2050. Fighting antimicrobial resistance is a health priority. Interventions aimed to reduce antimicrobial resistance, such as antibiotic stewardship programmes (ASPs), must be implemented. To be effective, those interventions, and the implementation process, should be matched with social-cultural context. The complexity of ASPs can […]

Healthcare acquired infections are among the biggest unsolved problems in healthcare, implying an increasing number of deaths, extra-days of hospital stay and hospital costs. Performing hand hygiene is a simple and inexpensive prevention measure, but healthcare workers compliance with it is still far from optimal. Recognized hurdles are lack of time, forgetfulness, wrong technique and […]

Pursuing nurses’ work effectiveness and better hand-hygiene compliance in a intensive care unit (ICU) ward: application of lean methodologies

  • Autores: Gregório J, Lapão L, Pinheiro F, Póvoa P, Santos I

Healthcare acquired infections (HAI) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Hand hygiene (HH) is one of the most effective measures for preventing HAI. However, stirring healthcare workers to comply with HH remains a challenge. Two common barriers often found are forgetfulness and the lack of time.

Fighting antibiotic resistance in Portuguese Hospitals: understanding antibiotic prescription behaviors to better design antibiotic stewardship programmes

  • Autores: Simões AS, Alves DA, Gregório J, Couto I, Dias S, Póvoa P, Viveiros M, Gonçalves L, Lapão LV
  • Ano de Publicação: 2018
  • Journal: Journal of global antimicrobial resistance

OBJECTIVE: Since physicians play an important role on antibiotic usage, it is vital to understand their antibiotic-prescribing behaviour and knowledge on antimicrobial resistance, in order to develop and implement effective antibiotic stewardship interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate Portuguese physicians’ knowledge, and understand prescription behaviours, difficulties and barriers in their antibiotic prescription […]
