Attitudes and perceptions of Dutch veterinarians on their role in the reduction of antimicrobial use in farm animals
2015, Preventive Veterinary MedicineCitation Excerpt :In human medicine, prescribing decisions of physicians are influenced by clinical reasoning as well as non-clinical factors which are related to personal characteristics (e.g., years in practice, extent of medical knowledge, attitudes, relationship with patients) (Akkerman et al., 2005). Knowledge of these prescribing determinants and categorization of health care providers into different target groups is extensively used for the purpose of sustainable implementation of tailored antibiotic stewardship programs and interventions (Hulscher et al., 2010a,b; Kumar et al., 2003; Walker et al., 2001; Vander Stichele et al., 1996; Simpson et al., 2007). Earlier qualitative research amongst Dutch farm animal veterinarians identified a broad variety of opinions regarding veterinary antibiotic use and ways to promote prudent use as well as determinants that influenced their prescribing behaviour (Speksnijder et al., 2015a).
Pharmacist, general practitioner and consumer use of written medicine information in Australia: Are they on the same page?
2014, Research in Social and Administrative PharmacyCitation Excerpt :Past negative experiences such as consumers declining CMI when offered, concerns or failure to take medicines after reading CMI (which may be valid and appropriate actions) may pose barriers and interfere with the successful adoption by GPs and pharmacists of CMI in everyday practice. Many GPs (89%) and pharmacists (92%) reported situations where consumers had concerns or queries after reading CMI, resulting in consumers refusing to take or ceasing their medicine, reflecting an earlier study with physicians.46 Notwithstanding these results and accounts in the literature of a relationship between side effect fear and ceasing medication,47 very few consumer respondents in this study reported refusing to take or ceasing their prescribed medicine, possibly inferring a confidence in their practitioners treatment decisions.
Pharmacist and general practitioner ambivalence about providing written medicine information to patients-A qualitative study
2013, Research in Social and Administrative PharmacyCitation Excerpt :Studies in the past have shown that patients want information about their medicines.36 Despite principled support for the provision of written medicine information, healthcare professionals often use written medicine information discriminately and infrequently, doubting its usefulness and impact on adherence,37,38 and may perceive written medicine information as a threat to medical expertise and authority.39,40 A shift toward greater patient involvement, the Internet and ready access to health information has also fundamentally challenged the healthcare professional–patient relationship,39 potentially replacing the face-to-face interaction with an impersonal exchange of information through electronic or print media.
