| Summary: | Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of
the critical medical issues of the 21st century. Medical
professionals are the primary prescribers of antimicrobials;
their undergraduate education of antimicrobial
stewardship (AMS) is considered one of the fundamental
approaches in combating the issue of AMR. This education
level provides a platform to bridge any gaps in their
knowledge and competency in AMS. This study aims to
develop an educational resource on microbes, hygiene
and prudent antimicrobial use for the undergraduate
medical programme. The guideline produced will then be
assimilated into the existing curriculum which will help to
improve the quality of education which in turn will improve
rationale as the use of antimicrobials in the future.
Methods and analysis A three-step approach
consensus approach will be adopted for this study for the
development of a validated medical curriculum guideline
on AMR. A preliminary curriculum for the programme will
be drafted from reviews of published literature including
syllabi as well as national and international guidelines. A
total of 26 potential sources were found to be relevant,
and selected for this study. Subsequently, the drafted
curriculum will be subjected for validation via online
surveys by various infectious disease experts. Finally, a
Delphi technique will be employed to obtain consensus
on heterogeneous fidings to the revised curriculum. The
quantitative and qualitative responses will be analysed and
discussed among the panel of researchers.
Ethics and dissemination This study protocol has been
approved by the Institute of Health Sciences Research
Ethics Committee of Universiti Brunei Darussalam
(Reference: UBD/PAPRSBIHSREC/2020/124). Informed
consent declaration will be collected prior to data
collections as indication of agreement of participation
in the study. Results will be made available to medical
educators and also researchers on AMR and stewardship.
The results also will be disseminated at feedback sessions
to offiers at Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education,
Brunei Darussalam. |
