The objectives of this study were to identify antimicrobial stewardship activities in Qatar, identify pharmacist involvement in activities and summarize perceived barriers for implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs).
A cross-sectional survey was developed based on study objectives and completed by pharmacists in Qatar.
Most hospital settings have implemented components of ASP. Lack of infectious disease specialists and training of healthcare providers was the most common barrier to implementation or expansion of ASP identified in the hospital and community settings respectively.
Pharmacists report some components of ASP have been implemented; however, barriers must be overcome to further expand ASPs.
本研究的目的是确定卡塔尔的抗菌药物管理活动，确定药剂师在这些活动中的参与情况，并总结抗菌药物管理计划（ASP）实施过程中存在的公认障碍。
根据研究目的制定了一项横断面调查，并由卡塔尔的药剂师完成。
大多数医院环境已实施了ASP的组成部分。缺乏传染病专家以及医护人员培训分别是在医院和社区环境中确定的实施或扩大ASP的最常见障碍。
药剂师报告称ASP的一些组成部分已得到实施；然而，必须克服障碍以进一步扩大ASP。
