Effectiveness of Visual Storytelling Intervention on Antibiotic Adherence in UTI Patients
Sponsor: Xi'an Jiaotong University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a visual storytelling intervention in improving antibiotic adherence among adults with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, where they will receive a visual sticker on their antibiotic packaing, explaining the importance of completing their antibiotic course, or the control group, which will receive routine care. The study will measure how well participants follow their prescribed antibiotic regimens and assess their knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotic use. The goal is to determine if visual storytelling can enhance adherence, reduce antibiotic resistance, and improve health outcomes.

Interventions
Visual Storytelling Intervention for Antibiotic Adherence
The intervention involves the use of a visual storytelling approach designed to improve antibiotic adherence in patients diagnosed with urinary tract infections (UTIs). The intervention consists of a sticker featuring simple, visually appealing illustrations and a narrative highlighting the importance of completing the full course of prescribed antibiotics. The story contrasts the positive outcomes of adhering to the treatment with the negative consequences of stopping early, such as increased bacterial resistance. Key messages are reinforced through bold text and visual cues. This intervention aims to engage patients emotionally and cognitively, promoting behavior change by making the concept of antibiotic adherence more relatable and memorable.
