Table 3 Selection of the most illustrative verbatims from general practitioners’ interviews
Subtheme | Quote | Interview number | Verbatim |
|---|---|---|---|
Antibiotic stewardship interventions/AntibioCharte | 1 | GP 21 | “What is important, indeed, is to continue to receive any kind of intervention […] on antibiotic prescriptions” |
2 | GP 11 | “We are always in the first line. So, it’s up to us to be careful.” | |
3 | GP 2 | “You know when you have one [patient] coming, if he/she is just coughing, you know he/she is going to have his/her antibiotics, period! It is not even possible to discuss, it’s not even possible to try to discuss!” | |
4 | GP 14 | “I think it’s useful for most people, the pad is well explained, it details the different infections for which antibiotics should not be prescribed […] it gives explanation [on the non-prescription].” | |
5 | GP 20 | “Yes, I think my statistics [prescription rate of total and broad-spectrum antibiotics] were better last time: antibiotics, [I prescribed] less… it’s thanks to the intervention!” | |
6 | GP 13 | “Generally, I use the antibiotics [very well], and have done so for a very long time, even if my statistics are discordant […] I obtained other data and I use a quarter of what my colleagues use, and that is rather consistent with my practice.” | |
Commitment charter | 7 | GP 24 | “I think it [the charter] is unnoticed, I don’t think people read much [the posters in the waiting room].” |
8 | GP 21 | “I must admit about the charter: I don't go in the waiting room. Well, I display it, but then I don't necessarily think about it.” | |
Non-prescription pad | 9 | GP 18 | The discussion [with patients] is easier with the pad: ‘it [the infection] doesn’t need antibiotics’.” |
10 | GP 16 | “Again, the pad helped me a lot, it allowed me to sort out two or three complicated situations.” | |
11 | GP 13 | “I had to stop [using the tools], because people… I don’t know what happened in the town… […] they weren’t happy, I had to stop [give the pad and the leaflet] … […] They spread the news, so I had to stop. I didn’t want them to say in the town that…” | |
12 | GP 19 | “It obliges us to be clear in our head. Because if we give the pad [to patients] and think the opposite… it’s not consistent” | |
Patient information leaflet | 13 | GP 1 | “[…] it's something additional but it's still redundant with the prescription, it's more the information at the bottom [information on adverse events and antibiotic resistance] that seems important to me” |
