A qualitative study of the factors impacting implementation of the national action plan to contain antimicrobial resistance (2016–2020) in medical institutions
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a serious global public health crisis. In response, 2016, 14 ministries in China, under the leadership of the National Health Commission, collaboratively issued the National Action Plan (NAP) to Contain Antibacterial Resistance (2016–2020). The NAP outlines strategies for medical institutions to adopt stewardship and implement AMR control. The purpose of this study was to comprehend stakeholders’ perceptions of the NAP and explore the factors that influence its implementation in medical institutions.
Practitioners from medical institutions were highly supportive for the NAP. Consideration of practitioners’ perceived barriers and facilitators might enhance implementation of the NAP to contain antimicrobial resistance.
