Article Synopsis
- Educational interventions for healthcare professionals can enhance knowledge and behavior regarding antibiotic prescribing, but the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted these efforts.
- This study evaluated such an intervention involving 69 resident physicians, comparing their prescribing rates before and after the intervention, while also assessing their knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotic resistance.
- Results showed that while the intervention group had a significantly higher prescribing rate post-intervention, the overall effectiveness was hindered by the pandemic's disruptions, suggesting that external factors can greatly influence educational outcomes.
