Davey P, Brown E, Charani E, et al., 2013, Interventions to improve antibiotic prescribing practices for hospital inpatients., Cochrane Database Syst Rev
BACKGROUND: The first publication of this review in Issue 3, 2005 included studies up to November 2003. This update adds studies to December 2006 and focuses on application of a new method for meta-analysis of interrupted time series studies and application of new Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Risk of Bias criteria to all studies in the review, including those studies in the previously published version. The aim of the review is to evaluate the impact of interventions from the perspective of antibiotic stewardship. The two objectives of antibiotic stewardship are first to ensure effective treatment for patients with bacterial infection and second support professionals and patients to reduce unnecessary use and minimize collateral damage. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the effectiveness of professional interventions that, alone or in combination, are effective in antibiotic stewardship for hospital inpatients, to evaluate the impact of these interventions on reducing the incidence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens or Clostridium difficile infection and their impact on clinical outcome. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE from 1980 to December 2006 and the EPOC specialized register in July 2007 and February 2009 and bibliographies of retrieved articles. The main comparison is between interventions that had a restrictive element and those that were purely persuasive. Restrictive interventions were implemented through restriction of the freedom of prescribers to select some antibiotics. Persuasive interventions used one or more of the following methods for changing professional behaviour: dissemination of educational resources, reminders, audit and feedback, or educational outreach. Restrictive interventions could contain persuasive elements. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCT), controlled before-after (CBA) and

This study examines the role of school nurses in the delivery of the HPV immunisation programme. A qualitative study, including 80 semi-structured interviews, was conducted with health professionals (primarily school nurses) from across the four UK nations. Interviews explored the role of the school nurse in the HPV programme and efforts to address health inequalities. Many school nurses were persistent and flexible when targeting vulnerable young women and addressing health inequalities. In addition, understanding why parents and girls rejected the vaccine and working in partnerships were central to addressing health inequalities in the HPV vaccination programme. School nurses are a valuable part of the workforce tackling health inequalities in young people. Persistence and partnerships improved school nurses' ability to address health inequalities. Future vaccination programmes can benefit from better understanding how differences in the delivery of an immunisation programme affects uptake and health inequalities.
