Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health threat, exacerbated by widespread antibiotic use in the community.
  • In New Zealand, a significant portion of antibiotic prescriptions are for self-limiting respiratory infections, contributing to AMR.
  • Registered nurses (RNs) possess the accessibility and skills to be key players in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), yet their potential is often underutilized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of Māori and non-Māori registered nurses as antimicrobial stewards in New Zealand.
  • To assess current RN knowledge and involvement in activities mitigating infectious disease and AMR risks.
  • To identify necessary educational and organizational support for enhancing RN leadership in AMS.

Main Methods:

  • Surveying registered nurses to assess their knowledge and engagement in antimicrobial stewardship activities.
  • Identifying educational needs and organizational support required for RNs to effectively participate in AMS.
  • Analyzing findings to understand the current and potential roles of RNs in combating AMR.

Main Results:

  • RNs require targeted AMS education and clearer role definitions to enhance their stewardship activities.
  • Increased participation in stewardship initiatives and collaboration with other healthcare professionals are needed.
  • Empowering RNs through education and organizational support is vital for strengthening AMS.

Conclusions:

  • Registered nurses have significant, yet underutilized, potential to lead antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
  • Investing in RN education and organizational support is essential to combat antimicrobial resistance in New Zealand.
  • Optimizing the role of RNs in AMS requires policy and educational strategy development.
