Barriers and facilitators for the implementation of delayed-prescription of antibiotics in family medicine: a qualitative study
The present study highlights the existence of several barriers and facilitators perceived by patients. Should delayed prescription be implemented in Switzerland, these results will inform policymakers about patients' attitudes towards the practice. Doctors may also benefit from this study as it identifies the limitations to consider when discussing treatment options with patients.
