This study conducted a national cross-sectional survey in France to assess the opinions of nursing home nurses regarding the potential evolution of their role in antibiotic stewardship. The results showed that a majority of nurses supported expanding their antibiotic stewardship role and were open to new responsibilities, such as collecting urine samples, prescribing laboratory tests, and changing the administration route of antibiotics prescribed by general practitioners. However, fewer nurses from public nursing homes with hospital connections and with less experience were willing to prescribe antibiotics. The study concludes that further exploration is needed before implementing these new roles in antibiotic stewardship. The study adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines and followed the STROBE reporting guidelines.
