Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Ethics
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Antimicrobial prescribing involves ethical considerations.
  • Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) address these dimensions.
  • Formal ethical frameworks can enhance ASP justification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the value of applying ethical principles to antimicrobial stewardship.
  • To strengthen the justification for ASPs and their activities.
  • To analyze common ethical challenges faced by ASPs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Beauchamp and Childress biomedical ethics framework.
  • Examined three representative ethical scenarios encountered by ASPs.
  • Applied ethical principles to prescriber, institutional, and societal levels.

Main Results:

  • Ethical analysis provides a robust justification for ASPs.
  • Framework application clarifies complex ethical dilemmas in stewardship.
  • Identified specific ethical challenges at multiple levels of healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • Explicitly applying ethical principles enhances the value and justification of ASPs.
  • The Beauchamp and Childress framework is a useful tool for ASP ethical analysis.
  • Integrating ethics strengthens the overall impact and acceptance of antimicrobial stewardship.
