Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing problem. Adherence to antibiotic treatment is a very important part of the prevention of resistant bacteria. The patient’s perspective is important because that is the person who the treatment is for and who in the end needs to be adherent to the therapy. This study aimed to provide insight into the patients’ perspective on the service of dispensed antibiotics in the community pharmacy and to evaluate the view on adherence, antimicrobial resistance and improvements in the community pharmacy. Adult patients who got prescription antibiotics were asked to fill in the questionnaire in community pharmacies in the Netherlands for a period of two or three weeks. Following the survey, the patient’s perspective on the role of the pharmacist/assistant among other things is to transfer the knowledge on the antibiotic treatment in a clear way to the patient, to prevent improper use and prevent antimicrobial resistance. Also, the pharmacist should check medical records to make sure that the treatment is safe to take for the patient.
