Abstract

Home treatment of infections with intravenous antibiotics is common internationally but is uncommon in Norway. The purpose of this study was to survey a patient population and to describe patients' experiences with intravenous home treatment with antibiotics and to assess the feasibility of the course of treatment. All patients treated at home with intravenous antibiotics from November 2016 to June 2021 were asked to participate in the study. Journal review and questionnaires were used to collect data. Quantitative data were processed with descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed with manifest content analysis. The study includes 175 patients with an average age of 65 years. The most frequent infections were endocarditis, prosthesis infection and septic arthritis. The study showed that the patients were very satisfied with home treatment and that also elderly patients could be treated at home (45% were ≥70 years old). 90% of the patients answered that they would choose home treatment again if they needed it and that home treatment increased well-being and subjective quality of life, but that training of and follow-up from clinical staff were important.
