Abstract

The spread of antimicrobial resistance is a global health concern, and resistance mediated by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) can cause major consequences. The aim of this study was to explore individuals’ perceptions of their daily life and how they cope after being diagnosed with carriage of ESBL-producing bacteria. A qualitative study was conducted with a descriptive design. Data were collected through individual interviews with 24 persons having ESBL carriership, via a semi-structured interview guide. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The informants’ perceptions on “Living with uncertainty about carriership that impacts oneself and others” were interpreted. Experiences of altered behaviors and sentiments due to ESBL carriership were described, as ESBL carriership was perceived to have a psychosocial impact on many informants. Ambiguous and inconsistent information tended to exacerbate these perceptions. The results of this study emphasize the importance of conveying individualized information, both at the time of diagnosis of ESBL carriage and thereafter. This study was not registered.

对产广谱β-内酰胺酶（ESBL）细菌携带者的看法：定性研究

抗菌药耐药性的传播是一个全球健康问题，而由广谱β-内酰胺酶（ESBLs）介导的耐药性会造成严重后果。本研究旨在探讨个人对日常生活的看法，以及他们在被诊断出携带产ESBL细菌后如何应对。本研究采用描述性设计进行定性研究。通过半结构化访谈指南，对 24 名携带 ESBL 的患者进行了个别访谈，收集了相关数据。数据采用定性内容分析法进行分析。解读了受访者对 "生活在影响自己和他人的不确定性中 "的看法。他们描述了因被列入 ESBL 而改变行为和情绪的经历，因为他们认为被列入 ESBL 会对许多信息提供者产生社会心理影响。模棱两可和前后不一的信息往往会加剧这些看法。本研究结果强调了在诊断出携带 ESBL 时及之后传达个性化信息的重要性。本研究未注册。
