Abstract :
Study aims to assess the perception
of patient of antibiotic-associated diarrhea towards Fecal
Microbial Therapy.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with
purposive sampling technique to select the subjects.
Thirty-three participants were selected for the study.
Everyone who filled out the consent did so of their own
free will and without expectation of reward or
remuneration. Self-administered questionnaire was
employed to collect the data.
Results: 33 participants who have been identified with
antibiotic-associated diarrhoea were given a total of 15
standardized questionnaires regarding Fecal Microbial
Therapy. The vast majority of patients held favorable
opinions regarding FMT. Only a small percentage of
patients had the impression that FMT diminished their
sense of respect. In addition, the patient had a revolting
feeling towards the FMT. Second, the vast majority of
patients were of the opinion that FMT has the potential to
be an advantageous and successful treatment option. The
majority of patients believed that being able to assist
others was more essential than being inconvenienced by
FMT, and all participants supported maintaining patient
confidentiality both during and after the procedure.
Patients were not consistent in their agreement that FMT
should be used as a treatment when the donor cannot be
identified.
Conclusion: Although FMT has been well-received as a
treatment for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, there is room
for improvement in patients' perception of the therapy's
benefits and risks. When patient preference and the
knowledge disparity between are brought into alignment,
the result will be improved education and the facilitation
of the establishment of decision-making principles.
