Description

Abstract:: Objective: Non adherence to antibiotic regimens can cause bacterial resistance and increased morbidity among pediatric patients. The goal of this study was to develop intervention content to address the many reasons why caregivers are nonadherent. Methods: Mixed method study using survey questions and open-ended questions to clarify survey responses. Results: Caregivers are intentionally non-adherent by stopping medicines due to waning symptoms, side effects, allergic reactions or fear of dependence and erratically non-adherent, forgetting doses due to a busy schedule, lack of routine, or lessening symptoms of illness. Conclusions: Intervention content should be focused on education about antibiotics and resistance as well as tips and tricks to remember to give a dose of medicine.
Notes:: Scholarly concentration: Non-Scholarly Concentrator
