Antimicrobial stewardship and the hospital nurse and midwife: how do they perceive their role?
Article in European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesOur aim was to determine the views of nurses and midwives in an acute hospital regarding a potential role in an antimicrobial stewardship programme.
methodsAn online survey about antimicrobial stewardship was distributed to nursing and midwifery staff at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.
resultsEighty responses were received. Forty-three (54%) claimed to have heard the term antimicrobial stewardship. Only seven (9%) had cause to look at the hospital's antimicrobial guidelines at least once a week. Between 47 (60%) and 68 (87%) respondents agreed they should be involved in a range of stewardship roles. Constraints of time and workload, lack of knowledge and lack of adequate staff training were the three main perceived challenges to a wider role.
conclusionsStaff in this survey recognise the potential for wider antimicrobial stewardship roles. They also identify challenges to undertaking these roles. Some of these barriers could be overcome by provision of education and support; hospital pharmacists may be able to assist with this role development.
