Little is known about patients' views or preferences about the route of administration of antimicrobials. In this study semi-structured interviews were carried out to assess patients' perceptions of an infection that required IV antimicrobial therapy in hospital, their preference for intravenous, IV followed by oral and discharge on oral therapy or home IV therapy. Interviews were transcribed and the content analysed. Twelve patients were interviewed while in hospital or by telephone after discharge. Patients' information about their infection was incomplete and many expressed the view that they would like more information. Many patients expressed a preference for oral therapy over IV therapy although this was dependent on it being of equal efficacy. Contrary views were related to personal difficulty with tablets. Patients varied in their acceptance of home IV therapy and expressed concern about adequate support but the majority expressed a preference for being discharged on oral therapy once they were well enough.
关于患者对抗菌药物给药途径的看法或偏好，知之甚少。在这项研究中，进行了半结构化访谈，以评估患者对需要住院进行静脉内抗菌治疗的感染的看法、他们对静脉内、静脉内后继口服和出院时口服治疗或家庭静脉内治疗的偏好。对访谈进行了转录和内容分析。在住院期间或出院后通过电话对 12 名患者进行了访谈。患者对其感染的信息不完整，许多人表示希望获得更多信息。许多患者表示更愿意接受口服治疗而不是静脉内治疗，尽管这取决于其疗效是否相当。相反的观点与个人服用片剂的困难有关。患者对家庭静脉内治疗的接受程度各不相同，并对充分的支持表示关注，但大多数患者表示一旦身体状况好转，他们更愿意出院接受口服治疗。
