Professional development of medical students - piloting a longitudinal curriculum at Jena University Hospital (LongProf).

Background: Professionalism is an important prerequisite for the quality of medical care with specific competencies anchored in the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue Medicine 2.0. To date, there are hardly any explicit teaching formats at German universities to achieve these.

Objective structured clinical examination to teach competency in planetary health care and management - a prospective observational study.

Background: Health professionals are increasingly called upon and willing to engage in planetary health care and management. However, so far, this topic is rarely covered in medical curricula. As the need for professional communication is particularly high in this subject area, this study aimed to evaluate whether the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) could be used as an accompanying teaching tool.

What motivates GPs to train medical students in their own practice? A questionnaire survey on the motivation of medical practices to train students as an approach to acquire training practices.

Background: With the new licensing regulations for doctors coming into force, medical faculties are faced with the task of recruiting and qualifying more GP colleagues to train students in their practices.

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the motivation of GPs to train students in their own medical practices.

Method: A cross-sectional survey of Thuringian GPs was conducted from April to May 2020.

Outpatient teaching in specialist practices - a qualitative study with doctors about attitudes, influencing factors and specialist features.

Aim: The aim is to record existing attitudes, influencing factors and specialised requirements with regard to the training of medical students in specialist outpatient care with doctors working in outpatient care.

Method: Between September 2020 and May 2021, individual interviews with 15 specialists employed in outpatient care were held as part of this qualitative study. The recorded interviews were evaluated structurally in accordance with the Kuchartz method.

[The general practitioner perspective of a multimodal intervention for the adequate use of antibiotics in urinary tract infection - a qualitative interview study].

Introduction: Contrary to current guideline recommendations, second-line antibiotics are still frequently used in the ambulatory treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI), which are associated with a high risk of antibiotic resistance development. The REDARES project (REDuction of Antibiotic RESistance in uncomplicated urinary tract infections by treatment according to national guidelines in ambulatory care), funded by the Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss, G-BA)/Innovation Fund is developing a multimodal intervention for primary care physicians to support them in a guideline-based approach. The intervention consists of the following components: (1) provision of local resistance data of pathogens of uncomplicated UTI (Robert Koch Institute), (2) concise guideline content on the therapy of uncomplicated UTI for patients (paper and online), and (3) prescription feedback on practice level and benchmarking among the study participants (anonymized).

Evaluation of a multimodal intervention to promote rational antibiotic use in primary care.

Background: Increasing antimicrobial resistance is a serious societal challenge affecting outpatient, inpatient and veterinary care. The German One-Health project, RAI (Rational use of Antibiotics via Information and Communication) addresses all three sectors. In the outpatient sector, General Practitioners (GPs) are the main prescribers of antibiotics and were therefore, targeted for this study.

Antibiotic prescribing behavior among general practitioners - a questionnaire-based study in Germany.

Background: This study investigates the barriers and facilitators of the use of antibiotics in acute respiratory tract infections by general practitioners (GPs) in Germany.

Methods: A multidisciplinary team designed and pre-tested a written questionnaire addressing the topics awareness of antimicrobial resistance (7 items), use of antibiotics (9 items), guidelines/sources of information (9 items) and sociodemographic factors (7 items), using a five-point-Likert-scale ("never" to "very often"). The questionnaire was mailed by postally to 987 GPs with registered practices in eastern Germany in May 2015.

Perceptions and attitudes regarding antibiotic resistance in Germany: a cross-sectoral survey amongst physicians, veterinarians, farmers and the general public.

Background: Drivers of antibiotic (AB) resistance (ABR) include outpatient treatment, hospital care and animal husbandry. During the first phase of the One Health project RAI (Responsible Antibiotic Use via Information and Communication) surveys were conducted in these sectors.

Objectives: To compare perceptions and attitudes towards ABR among general practitioners (GPs), hospital physicians, veterinarians, pig farmers and the general public.

Selection of pfmdr1 and pfcrt alleles in amodiaquine treatment failure in north-western Burkina Faso.

In 111 children under five years of age and with uncomplicated malaria in Nouna, north-western Burkina Faso, amodiaquine treatment failed in 75% (after PCR-based exclusion of new infections, 32%). In these, we assessed the role of Plasmodium falciparum pfmdr1 and pfcrt polymorphisms in amodiaquine resistance. Except for pfmdr1 1246Y (prevalence, 5%), no P.
