“…A common thread in studies conducted on the role of nurses in antibiotic stewardship is a lack of education (Wong et al, 2020). This includes inadequate education by healthcare institutions about their stewardship interventions, as well as lack of education in nursing prelicensure programs (van Huizen et al, 2021) regarding the severity of antibiotic resistance and the role of nurses to combat antibiotic resistance. willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.…”

Antibiotic resistance is a growing health threat globally. Nurses can play key roles in combatting antibiotic resistance through participation in antibiotic stewardship programs and educating colleagues, other healthcare professionals, and the public. Improved education is necessary for nurses and healthcare institutions to effectively improve antibiotic use and reduce resistant organisms. Biblical elements of stewardship are described in this article.

“…34 Despite this historical view of "questioning the prescriber," a significant amount of evidence suggests that nurses are already incorporating antimicrobial stewardship practices in their everyday functions despite poor acknowledgment and role designations. 35 There is a lack of emphasis on the link between nursing practices and patient outcomes. 32 Carter et al 32 reported the need for more emphasis on acknowledging the link because this approach has succeeded in minimizing health care-associated infection.…”

The consequences of antimicrobial overuse are complex. Censoring overuse requires strategic efforts directed at tailoring antimicrobial prescribing habits. Antimicrobial stewardship combats the negative consequences for patients and society. All members of the health care team can influence stewardship efforts in the patient treated for infectious diseases. Many of the potent antimicrobials used today are given by infusion, providing an exceptional opportunity for the infusion nurse to become a crucial part of the antimicrobial stewardship team. The goal of this article is to explain why antimicrobials are worth caring for and preserving, as well as to define the role of the infusion nurse in the antimicrobial stewardship team.

“…The roles of physicians in AMS mainly include the the prescription of antimicrobials and the overall supervision of the AMS process [ 15 ], while pharmacists’ main role is reviewing the medication charts to evaluate the indications, doses, and duration of the prescribed antimicrobials and to monitor any possible allergies or side effects [ 16 ]. Furthermore, nurses ensure the appropriate administration of antimicrobials and educate the patient [ 17 ].…”

Antimicrobial Stewardship from Health Professionals’ Perspective: Awareness, Barriers, and Level of Implementation of the Program

et al. 2022

This study aimed to evaluate health professionals’ perceptions regarding the level of implementation of the Antimicrobials Stewardship (AMS) programs in Jordanian tertiary hospitals and to assess the perceived barriers to its implementation. During this cross-sectional study, a total of 157 healthcare providers agreed to participate (response rate 96.3%). Participants were asked to complete an electronic survey after meeting them at their working sites. Only 43.9% of the healthcare providers (n = 69) reported having an AMS committee in their hospital settings. The results suggested that private hospitals have significantly better AMS implementation compared to public hospitals among four areas (p ≤ 0.05). Moreover, the results showed that the most widely available strategies to implement AMS were infectious disease/microbiology advice (n = 112, 71.3%), and treatment guidelines (n = 111, 70.7%). Additionally, the study revealed that the main barrier to AMS implementation was the lack of information technology support (n = 125, 79.6%). These findings could draw managers’ attention to the importance of AMS and support the health care provider’s practice of AMS in Jordanian tertiary hospitals by making the right decisions and the required modifications regarding the strategies needed for the implementation of AMS programs.
