Background Antimicrobial stewardship approaches are important in managing the growing global challenge of antibiotic resistance. Microlearning describes educational interventions involving small, digestible chunks of information focussed on a single learning objective. Aim This quality improvement project aimed to improve the compliance of antibiotic administration for open hand injury referrals with national and local guidelines using a microlearning educational intervention. Method Antibiotic administration for open hand injury referrals was audited at baseline, following the creation and dissemination of an infographic displaying the indications for antibiotics, and again after the creation and dissemination of a short video providing the same information. Result The proportion of referrals with no indication for antibiotics that were given or recommended antimicrobials fell from 50.0% (22/44) to 14.3% (5/35) after dissemination of the infographic and short video. Conclusion Microlearning educational interventions are effective at improving compliance with clinical guidelines in this context.
背景 抗菌药物管理方法对于应对日益严峻的全球抗生素耐药性挑战至关重要。微学习描述的是涉及小块、易于理解的信息且聚焦于单一学习目标的教育干预措施。目的 本质量改进项目旨在通过微学习教育干预措施，提高开放性手部损伤转诊患者抗生素使用的合规性，使其符合国家和地方指南。方法 在基线时、创建并分发显示抗生素使用指征的信息图之后以及创建并分发提供相同信息的短视频之后，对开放性手部损伤转诊患者的抗生素使用情况进行审核。结果 在分发信息图和短视频后，无抗生素使用指征却给予或推荐使用抗菌药物的转诊比例从50.0%（22/44）降至14.3%（5/35）。结论 在这种情况下，微学习教育干预措施在提高临床指南的合规性方面是有效的。
