How can behaviour and social sciences help?
In this video, we introduce how a systematic behavioural change approach can be applied to antimicrobial stewardship.
Antimicrobial intake is dependent on behavioural practices. Obstacles in appropriate antimicrobial stewardship are mainly due to inaccurate prescribing, not assessing test procedures and effectiveness, incomplete intake of medication, lack of surveillance and follow-ups – ultimately, these are behaviours which must be changed.
