Abstract

Inappropriate use of antibiotics increases the risk of resistance development. Development of resistance causes prolongation of hospital stay, increased mortality and health care costs. Antibiotic stewardship seeks to optimize clinical results by limiting the emergence and transmission of resistant bacteria. Antibiotic stewardship program consists of two core strategies and various complementary strategies. Comprehensive antibiotic stewardship programs have demonstrated decreased in antibiotic use and costs. Ideally, antibiotic stewardship program consists of a multidisciplinary team including infectious disease specialist doctor, clinical pharmacist trained in infectious diseases, clinical microbiologist, information systems specialist, infection control professional and hospital epidemiologist. The clinical pharmacist should be knowledgeable about the appropriate use of antibiotics, and appropriate training programs should be made available to achieve and maintain this expertise. There are important roles and responsibilities of the clinical pharmacists in the antibiotic stewardship team as to promote the optimal use of antibiotics, reduce transmission of infections, educate health professionals, patients, and the public. Hence, an active participation of qualified pharmacists should be ensured in the antibiotic stewardship team.

Özet

Antibiyotiklerin uygunsuz kullanımı direnç gelişme riskini artırmaktadır. Direnç gelişimi hastanede kalış süresinin uzamasına, mortalite ve tıbbi bakım maliyetlerinin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Antibiyotik yönetimi, dirençli bakterilerin ortaya çıkmasını ve yayılmasını sınırlayarak klinik sonuçları optimize etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Antibiyotik yönetim programı, iki çekirdek strateji ve çeşitli tamamlayıcı stratejilerden oluşmaktadır. Kapsamlı antibiyotik yönetim programları, antibiyotik kullanımında ve maliyetlerde azalma olduğunu göstermiştir. İdeal antibiyotik yönetim programı; infeksiyon hastalıkları uzmanı doktor, infeksiyon hastalıkları konusunda eğitim almış klinik eczacı, klinik mikrobiyolog, bilgi sistemi uzmanı, infeksiyon kontrol profesyoneli ve hastane epidemiyoloğunu içeren multidisipliner bir ekipten oluşmaktadır. Klinik eczacı, antibiyotiklerin uygun kullanımı konusunda bilgili olmalı, bu uzmanlığı edinmesi ve sürdürmesi için uygun eğitim programları eczacılara sunulmalıdır. Antibiyotiklerin akılcı kullanımını teşvik etmek, infeksiyonların yayılmasını azaltmak, sağlık çalışanlarını, hastaları ve halkı eğitmek gibi antibiyotik yönetimi ekibinde klinik eczacıların önemli rolü ve sorumlulukları bulunmaktadır. Bu konuda donanımlı eczacıların antibiyotik yönetimi ekibine aktif katılımları sağlanmalıdır.
