Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship among healthcare workers in outpatient medical centers in Kenya: a qualitative study

The lack of knowledge on AMS and its components coupled with failure to recognize AMR as a problem in the facilities led to a lack of prioritization of AMS. There is therefore an urgent need to educate healthcare administrators and clinicians on AMR and AMS to foster a sense of ownership of the problem of AMR and to be pro-active in implementing measures to curb it.

Abstract

The lack of knowledge on AMS and its components coupled with failure to recognize AMR as a problem in the facilities led to a lack of prioritization of AMS. There is therefore an urgent need to educate healthcare administrators and clinicians on AMR and AMS to foster a sense of ownership of the problem of AMR and to be pro-active in implementing measures to curb it.
