A rapid review of current evidence examining psychological issues regarding the use of antibiotics and antimicrobials and resistance to these in both human and animal populations was conducted. Specific areas of interest were studies examining psychological determinants of AMR and interventions which attempt to change behavior with regard to AMR in the general population; animals; and fish, in particular. Although there is some evidence of the effectiveness of behavior change in general human populations, there is limited evidence in farmed animals, with a particular dearth in fish farming. We conclude there is an urgent need for more psychological research to identify major barriers and facilitators to change and evaluate the effectiveness of theory-based interventions aimed at reducing AM use in food production animals, including the promotion of alternatives to AMs, such as vaccination.
对当前有关人类和动物群体中抗生素及抗菌药物使用的心理问题以及对这些药物耐药性的现有证据进行了快速回顾。特别关注的领域包括研究抗菌药物耐药性的心理决定因素以及试图改变普通人群、动物尤其是鱼类中抗菌药物耐药性行为的干预措施。虽然有一些证据表明行为改变在普通人群中是有效的，但在养殖动物中证据有限，在养鱼业中尤其匮乏。我们得出结论，迫切需要开展更多心理学研究，以确定行为改变的主要障碍和促进因素，并评估旨在减少食用动物抗菌药物使用的基于理论的干预措施的有效性，包括推广抗菌药物的替代方法，如疫苗接种。
