To date, there have been no published guidelines, either locally or nationally, to advise nurse practitioners on training and assessment in breast and axillary examination. This study is a prospective audit of the clinical competence of a nurse practitioner in breast and axillary clinical examination, following an 18-month period of clinical training and supervision by two consultant breast surgeons.
The results of the audit show that the nurse achieved a high level of concordance with the findings of consultant breast surgeons. This training and audit process could be incorporated into the training and assessment of future nurse practitioners in this specialist area.
迄今为止,无论是在本地还是全国范围内,均未发布相关指南,为执业护士提供有关乳房和腋窝检查培训及评估的建议。本研究是一项前瞻性审计,评估一名执业护士在接受两名乳腺外科顾问医生为期18个月的临床培训和监督后,其在乳房和腋窝临床检查方面的临床能力。
审计结果表明,该护士的检查结果与乳腺外科顾问医生的检查结果高度一致。这一培训和审计过程可纳入该专业领域未来执业护士的培训和评估中。
