Addressing Antimicrobial Stewardship in Primary Care—Developing Patient Information Sheets Using Co-Design Methodology

Antibiotic resistance is a threat to global health, and inappropriate antibiotic use can be associated with adverse effects. Developing tools to encourage better communication between patients and general practitioners may reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics. The aim of the study was to develop...

description Antibiotic resistance is a threat to global health, and inappropriate antibiotic use can be associated with adverse effects. Developing tools to encourage better communication between patients and general practitioners may reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics. The aim of the study was to develop shared decision support tools on common infections using a co-design methodology to address antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in primary care. Three co-design/interview sessions were conducted with primary care providers and consumers between October 2019–April 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Participants critiqued existing AMS tools, identified key elements required and optimised resulting prototypes. Primary care providers and consumers prioritised information to include in the AMS tools, such as when to see a doctor, management options, disease symptoms and cause of infection differently. However, both agreed content should be communicated in a plain, concise and logical manner, using inclusive and simple language accompanied by illustrations. Information sheets should be single-sided and A4-sized, appropriate for use before, during or after consultations. Co-design provided a collaborative forum to systematically design and develop products that meet the needs of both primary care providers and consumers. This resulted in the development of seven patient information sheets on common infections that encourage discussion of these infections, conservative management options and appropriate antibiotic use in primary care.
