The purpose of the present study was to identify the educational needs of rheumatology nurses and allied healthcare professionals (AHPs) working with people with osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
A cross-sectional national online survey was carried out.
The survey was completed by 162 health care practitioners. Seventy-one per cent of respondents had the knowledge and skills to manage the care of a person with RA. The elements of care for which the respondents were either unsure or did not have the necessary knowledge and skills related to providing advice on exercise (37%) and pain medication (30%) to people with RA. There was a consistent tendency for respondents to be less confident in their knowledge and skills when caring for people with OA, with respondents reporting that they were either unsure or did not have the necessary knowledge and skills to advise on appropriate exercise (61%), or medication for the management of pain (45%) or the management of ongoing care (51%).
Current and future educational programmes on RA and OA management should provide nurses and AHPs with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in providing advice on exercise and pain medication.
本研究旨在确定与骨关节炎(OA)和类风湿关节炎(RA)患者打交道的风湿病护士及相关医疗保健专业人员(AHPs)的教育需求。
开展了一项全国性横断面在线调查。
162名医疗保健从业者完成了该调查。71%的受访者具备管理RA患者护理的知识和技能。受访者在为RA患者提供运动建议(37%)和疼痛药物治疗建议(30%)方面,要么不确定,要么缺乏必要的知识和技能。当照顾OA患者时,受访者在知识和技能方面始终表现出信心不足,他们表示在就适当运动(61%)、疼痛管理药物(45%)或持续护理管理(51%)提供建议方面,要么不确定,要么缺乏必要的知识和技能。
当前及未来关于RA和OA管理的教育项目应让护士和AHPs有机会培养在提供运动和疼痛药物治疗建议方面的知识和技能。
