To examine the knowledge, awareness, and self-perceived skill levels regarding bulimia nervosa (BN) among advance practice nurses (APNs) caring for young female patients.
Two hundred APNs of various nurse practitioner (NP) specialties were surveyed with a mailed questionnaire. One hundred and twenty-one (61%) surveys were returned and analyzed.
Results demonstrated that APNs are knowledgeable and aware about BN. There were several statistically significant relationships among awareness and self-perceived skill levels. Pediatric NPs were found to be the most aware of BN in their young female patients.
The incidence of eating disorders is on the rise. Bulimia nervosa, a common secretive illness, poses a significant challenge for APNs potentially leading to missed diagnosis. There is a paucity of research exploring this issue. Study findings provide evidence to enhance curricula on eating disorders in academic and continuing education programs and guidance for future research.
调查照料年轻女性患者的高级执业护士（APN）对神经性贪食症（BN）的知识、认知及自我感知技能水平。
通过邮寄问卷对200名不同护理执业医师（NP）专业的APN进行了调查。共收回121份（61%）调查问卷并进行分析。
结果表明，APN对BN有一定的知识和认知。在认知与自我感知技能水平之间存在若干具有统计学意义的关系。发现儿科NP对其年轻女性患者中的BN最为了解。
饮食失调的发病率正在上升。神经性贪食症是一种常见的隐匿性疾病，对APN构成重大挑战，可能导致漏诊。探索这一问题的研究较少。研究结果为加强学术和继续教育项目中饮食失调课程提供了证据，并为未来研究提供了指导。
