Qualitative Interview Transcripts on Antimicrobial Stewardship in Tanzanian Hospitals

11 verbatim interview transcripts from medical professionals in three Dar es Salaam Regional Referral Hospitals explore barriers and facilitators to implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs. The data was collected via key informant interviews and analyzed thematically. It provides qualitative insights into systemic and behavioral factors affecting public health policy in Tanzania.

Use Cases

• Perform thematic analysis on interview transcripts to identify key barriers like 'staff shortage' and 'resource constraints' to ASP implementation.
• Analyze qualitative data on 'leadership support' and 'ASP-specific training' to model facilitators for successful health program adoption.
• Use verbatim transcripts to study 'reluctance to change among staff' as a behavioral factor in public health interventions.
• Map mentioned challenges such as 'logistical challenges in procurement' to specific hospital contexts within Dar es Salaam.

Strengths

• Provides verbatim transcripts from 11 purposively selected medical professionals, ensuring detailed qualitative depth.
• Focuses on a specific public health context: three Dar es Salaam Regional Referral Hospitals in Tanzania.
• Data is structured around two major analytical themes: barriers and facilitators to ASP implementation.

Limitations

• Very small qualitative sample size of 11 participants limits statistical generalizability.
