title: Defining a Role for Nursing Education in Staff Nurse Participation in Antimicrobial Stewardship.
abstract: The role of the staff nurse in antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) is not clearly defined. This study explored the ASP educational needs of staff nurses, using survey, focus group, and Delphi methods of engaging nurse educators. Low awareness of components of ASPs and areas of educational need were identified.
