Abstract:
Antibiotic stewardship programs aim to optimize antibiotic use in order to control antibiotic resistance. Nurses need easily accessible information on antibiotics to perform antimicrobial-related tasks optimally. A task supporting antibiotic information application was developed to support nurses. With log file analysis, scenario-based tests and information behavior questionnaires we evaluated the app. The results show steady, continuing use. Instruction pages are most popular, and first responses to the application are positive regarding look and feel and accessibility of information.
