The main objective of this study was to promote knowledge about antibiotic resistance development and good stewardship principles amongst the general population through pharmacy student-led public engagement workshops in high schools.
Structured questionnaires, based on the Key Stage 4 curriculum were initially used to assess awareness and knowledge of antibiotic resistance issues amongst year 10 and 11 (GCSE stage) high school pupils. A Prezi-style presentation (https://prezi.com/) was subsequently developed to deliver a positive message that the young learners could share with friends and family.
Misconceptions still exist regarding the correct and appropriate use of antibiotics. The person-person approach adopted by this study was well received, key antibiotic stewardship messages being delivered to the general population through either educational surveys or hands-on workshops.
It is widely acknowledged that antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing society today. As healthcare professionals, pharmacists in all sectors have a crucial role to play in educating the public about antibiotics and how to use them effectively. This article describes the different ways by which all pharmacists can help educate the public on key issues, with particular emphasis on the next generation.
本研究的主要目标是通过药学专业学生主导的高中公众参与工作坊,提高普通民众对抗生素耐药性发展及良好管理原则的认识。
最初使用基于关键阶段4课程的结构化问卷,评估10年级和11年级(普通中等教育证书阶段)高中生对抗生素耐药性问题的认识和了解。随后开发了一个Prezi风格的演示文稿(https://prezi.com/),以传达一个积极的信息,让年轻学习者能够与朋友和家人分享。
在抗生素的正确和适当使用方面仍然存在误解。本研究采用的人际传播方式受到了广泛欢迎,关键的抗生素管理信息通过教育调查或实践工作坊传递给了普通民众。
人们普遍认识到抗生素耐药性是当今社会面临的最大威胁之一。作为医疗保健专业人员,各领域的药剂师在教育公众了解抗生素以及如何有效使用抗生素方面发挥着关键作用。本文描述了所有药剂师可以帮助公众了解关键问题的不同方式,特别强调了对下一代的教育。
