Brief Summary

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat in modern medicine. Overuse of antibiotics is an important driver of antibiotic resistance. However, some authors have shown that up to 50% of antibiotic treatments in critically ill patients are inappropriate, mostly because they are used in patients with non-bacterial infections. In order to improve antibiotic use, several antibiotic stewardship programs have been implemented worldwide. However, only few of them have taken into account the determinants of prescribing behaviors. Yet, these determinants have been shown to play a role among general practitioners of hospital doctors. Nevertheless, none of these factors have been studied among intensivists. The current project represent phase 1 of the study : construction and validation of a questionnaire.
