Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The use of antibiotics (ABs) for the prevention and management of infections has been widespread for decades and, at this time, AB resistance is a global health crisis. The available evidence highlights the need to reduce the prophylactic and therapeutic use of ABs to avoid associated risks.
METHODS: A preliminary study with a total sample of 56 Andalusian (Spain) podiatrists was surveyed. The purpose of this study was to identify whether there were changes in prescription habits from a situation before a subsequent training course on AB indications for the management of infections associated with ingrown toenails. An ad hoc questionnaire of 15 items related to therapeutic and prophylactic prescriptions of ABs was developed for this purpose, and the evaluation was carried out before and after the training course.
RESULTS: The responses obtained before and after training were compared. The training activity led to improvements in the prescription habits of the participants, producing significant changes in the prescription pattern of the professionals in 10 of the 15 items.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this preliminary study show that the podiatrists surveyed improved the rational use of systemic AB therapy in ingrown toenails infections.

摘要：
背景：几十年来，抗生素（ABs）用于预防和管理感染的使用一直很普遍，此时,AB抵抗是全球性的健康危机。现有证据强调需要减少ABs的预防和治疗用途，以避免相关风险。
方法：对总共56名安达卢西亚（西班牙）足病医生的初步研究进行了调查。这项研究的目的是在随后的AB适应症培训课程之前，确定处方习惯是否有变化，以管理与向内生长的脚趾甲相关的感染。为此目的，编制了一份包含15个与ABs治疗和预防处方有关的项目的特别问卷，并在培训课程前后进行评估。
结果：比较训练前后的反应。培训活动改善了参与者的处方习惯，在15个项目中的10个项目中，专业人员的处方模式发生了重大变化。
结论：这项初步研究的结果表明，所调查的足病医生改善了对向内趾甲感染的全身AB治疗的合理使用。
