e-Bug is a pan-European antibiotic and hygiene teaching resource that aims to reinforce awareness in school children of microbes, prudent antibiotic use, hygiene and the transmission of infection. Prior to the production of the resource, it was essential to examine the educational structure across each partner country and assess what school children were being taught on these topics. A questionnaire was devised for distribution to each European partner (Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain), exploring their educational structure and examining educational resources or campaigns currently available. From the data collected it was evident that the majority of European schools have structured hand hygiene practices in place from a young age. The curricula in all countries cover the topic of human health and hygiene, but limited information is provided on antibiotics and their prudent use. School educational resources that link to the national curriculum and implement National Advice to the Public campaigns in the classroom are limited. The Microbes en question mobile health education campaign in France is an example of a successful children's education campaign and an innovative programme. Evaluation of the impact of school education on attitude and change of behaviour is also limited throughout many European countries. Not enough is currently being done across Europe to educate school children on the importance of appropriate antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance. The data from this research were used to develop e-Bug, a European Union-funded antibiotic and hygiene teaching resource.
e-Bug 是一个泛欧的抗生素和卫生教学资源,旨在增强学校儿童对微生物、谨慎使用抗生素、卫生和感染传播的认识。在制作该资源之前,必须检查每个合作伙伴国家的教育结构,并评估学校儿童在这些主题上的教学情况。我们设计了一份问卷,分发给每个欧洲合作伙伴(比利时、捷克共和国、丹麦、英格兰、法国、希腊、意大利、波兰、葡萄牙和西班牙),探讨他们的教育结构,并研究当前可用的教育资源或活动。从收集的数据中可以明显看出,大多数欧洲学校从很小的时候就开始有组织地进行手部卫生实践。所有国家的课程都涵盖了人类健康和卫生这一主题,但提供的关于抗生素及其谨慎使用的信息有限。与国家课程相关联并在课堂上实施国家公众咨询活动的学校教育资源有限。法国的“微生物问题”移动健康教育活动是儿童教育活动的成功范例,也是一项创新计划。在许多欧洲国家,对学校教育对态度和行为改变的影响进行评估也受到限制。目前,欧洲各地还没有足够的措施来教育学校儿童正确使用抗生素和抗生素耐药性的重要性。这项研究的数据被用于开发 e-Bug,这是一个欧盟资助的抗生素和卫生教学资源。
