Understanding Antibiotic Resistance, Causes, and Prevention Methods

Dream - Antibiotic resistance (AMR) is a condition in which the microbes that cause infections in the patient's body are difficult to fight against by antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals. This is because the body becomes immune or unresponsive to antibiotics that should be effective in killing or stopping their growth. The evolution of bacteria that adapt to antibiotics that are overused or used improperly causes AMR.

"AMR can be caused by bacteria, fungi. Bacteria most frequently. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2050, there will be around 10 million deaths due to the increase in AMR cases. AMR often occurs in ICU rooms."

According to Dr. Pratista Hendarjana, Anesthesia Specialist and Intensive Care Consultation at the webinar "Mitigating AMR Risks in the ICU through Optimal Communication between Healthcare Providers and Patient Families: Timely, Appropriate, and Effective", some time ago.

Understanding Antibiotic Resistance, Causes and Prevention

Then besides bacteria and fungi, what are the other factors causing antibiotic resistance? Here are some of the factors.

"The Excessive Use of Antibiotics"

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "The inappropriate use of antibiotics, for example, not following the doctor's prescription, using a dosage that is too little or too much, or discontinuing the treatment before it is completed, can increase the risk of bacterial resistance to antibiotics."

"Spread of Resistant Bacteria"

Bacteria that are resistant can spread among people, animals, and the environment through direct or indirect contact. To prevent antibiotic resistance, there are several steps that Sahabat Dream can implement.

"Use Antibiotics Wisely"

"Just use antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, follow the instructions for use correctly, and complete the entire prescribed dose even if Sahabat Dream feels already recovered."

"Avoid the Use of Unnecessary Antibiotics"

Avoid asking for antibiotics for viral infections such as flu or colds, because antibiotics are not effective against viral infections.

"Family Communication and Health Workers When Given Antibiotics"

One solution to overcome this problem is through effective communication between healthcare workers (nakes) and patients or their families.

"The improvement of understanding about the risk of AMR can be achieved through productive two-way communication between healthcare professionals and patients or their families. When there are family members or relatives who need to be treated in the ICU, often the patient's family feels confused, scared, and panicked."

"Nora T. Siagian, President Director of Pfizer Indonesia, said on the same occasion."

In line with this, Pfizer Indonesia collaborates with the Indonesia One Health University Network (INDOHUN), as well as health experts and patient communities, to promote the #JitudiICU movement to encourage wise and rational use of antibiotics in intensive care units (ICU).
