Acute Respiratory Infection-Related Patient Behaviors and Expectations in Wyoming
چکیده انگلیسی

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and other clinicians often overprescribe antibiotics for patients with viral acute respiratory infections (ARIs). Little is known about how patients approach ARI management or what they expect when they present with ARIs. This study of 655 households in Wyoming explored patient approaches and expectations regarding ARI management. Results indicate that although many patients expect antibiotics for ARIs, they also desire to be listened to regarding their concerns and receive advice regarding symptoms. NPs may be able to decrease antibiotic prescribing by directly addressing patient concerns, outlining options for symptom management, and providing convenient options for follow-up.
