Abstract

Despite numerous published studies about antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) implementation, a lack of theoretical underpinning within this research emerges. This leads to incomplete knowledge of contextual determinants impacting ASP implementation. The aim of this study was to use Consolidated framework for Implementation research (CFIR) to explore key stakeholders' perspective regarding ASP implementation in United Arab Emirates (UAE) hospitals with a focus on facilitators and barriers. The use of CFIR enabled comprehensive evaluation of current ASP implementation in UAE and deduction of several solutions to address barriers. There is a need to seek early leadership engagement to support availing required resources, as well as effective planning and establishment of communication with healthcare providers.
