Global study reveals gaps in antimicrobial knowledge and planetary health education

The importance of antimicrobial stewardship in healthcare education has been highlighted in a recent global investigation led by Monash University. The study focused on antimicrobial knowledge in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, and veterinary undergraduate students, revealing a need for better education across all five disciplines to combat antimicrobial resistance and its impact on planetary health.

Antimicrobial stewardship is crucial for promoting responsible antimicrobial use to prevent environmental imbalance and contamination. The study emphasized the need for a broader understanding of antimicrobial resistance, including factors such as inappropriate disposal, environmental contamination, surveillance methods, false allergies, and the role of each health professional in antimicrobial stewardship.

The research, published in the journal BMC Medical Education, reviewed 144 articles from various countries to identify gaps and trends in antimicrobial knowledge. It highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary education in planetary health to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance.

Dr. Angelina Lim, Deputy Pharmacy Course Director at Monash University, emphasized the multifaceted nature of antimicrobial stewardship in healthcare. The study found that while students are familiar with the term “antimicrobial resistance,” there is a need for greater awareness of antimicrobial stewardship principles.

The study also revealed a lack of interprofessional education in antimicrobial stewardship, particularly in nursing, veterinary, and dentistry. It called for standardized definitions of antimicrobial stewardship principles to encompass a wider range of factors affecting planetary health.

Ph.D. candidate Shahd Alzard, a lead author of the study, highlighted the importance of implementing antimicrobial stewardship education at the undergraduate level. The researchers hope their findings will inform the development of innovative programs in antimicrobial stewardship across healthcare disciplines.

The study coincides with the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference 2024, underscoring the urgent need for action to address antimicrobial resistance and its impact on human and planetary health. As world leaders prepare to gather for COP29, the study’s findings contribute to the ongoing discussions on global health challenges.

In conclusion, the research conducted by Monash University underscores the importance of antimicrobial stewardship education in healthcare disciplines. By promoting responsible antimicrobial use and addressing the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, future health professionals can contribute to safeguarding both human and planetary health.
