Publication Access status: Open Access , Decision support systems for antibiotic prescription in hospitals: a survey with hospital managers on factors for implementationInappropriate antimicrobial use, such as antibiotic intake in viral infections, incorrect dosing and incorrect dosing cycles, has been shown to be an important determinant of the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Artificial intelligence-based decision support systems represent a potential solution for improving antimicrobial prescribing and containing antimicrobial resistance by supporting clinical decision-making thus optimizing antibiotic use and improving patient outcomes.Source Type:Article1 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Open Access , Medicalization and Psychologization in scientific and public discourses - The perception of poverty, unemployment and childhood development(2025)In this dissertation, I examine processes of medicalization and psychologization in different discourses. Medicine and psychology have played a substantial role in describing social conditions, which is true in a variety of contexts. From sci- entific discourses, in which knowledge is generated and discussed to public dis- courses like mass media or political debates. A central concern of this disserta- tion is the mechanism by which such processes occur, and which actors are in- volved. For the scientific discourse, I analyzed which disciplines are leading in the international research on poverty in the Web of Science (WoS) between 1956-2017 and which changes in content are thus evident over time. In the (mass) media discourse based on different daily and weekly newspapers in Ger- many, I examined how the reporting of the last 25 years on unemployment and childhood is shaped and whether these two areas are more strongly linked to medical and psychological issues. In a further contribution, I focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. Since external influences may also cause medicalization and psychologization tendencies to emerge, I analyzed to what extent school closures in Germany have been a driver for an increased interest in mental health among children and adolescents. Here I was able to show that this was indeed the case and that, in addition to the purely epidemiological aspects of the pan- demic, threats to mental health as a side effect of the non-pharmaceutical measures became more prominent. Overall, I show that processes of medicalization and psychologization are traceable in various discourses through different actors and that external influ- ences like the COVID-19 pandemic can play a significant role.Source Type:Doctoral Thesis1 5
