Today, professional nurses around the world are stepping up to meet the needs of individuals with Crohn disease, using their specialized knowledge and skills that demonstrate areas of expertise that have not always existed. The gastrointestinal-specific knowledge being used by these 21st-century nurses exists today because progressive efforts of nurses in previous decades moved the profession of nursing forward. The purpose of this article was to describe and analyze the development of the role of nurses in responding to new challenges patients with Crohn disease face since the emergence of the disease in the early 20th century. The authors used traditional historic research methods to conduct the study. Primary sources include nursing journals and textbooks published in the 20th and 21st centuries and documents archived at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, where Burrill B. Crohn conducted his seminal work. The significance of the findings is that the changing role of nurses in caring for patients with Crohn disease mirrors the professionalization of nursing during the 20th and early 21st centuries.
如今，世界各地的专业护士正在挺身而出，满足克罗恩病患者的需求，运用他们的专业知识和技能，展示出一些并非一直存在的专业领域。21世纪的护士所运用的胃肠道专业知识之所以存在，是因为前几十年护士们的不断努力推动了护理专业的发展。本文旨在描述和分析自20世纪初克罗恩病出现以来，护士在应对克罗恩病患者面临的新挑战时角色的发展。作者使用传统的历史研究方法进行这项研究。主要资料来源包括20世纪和21世纪出版的护理期刊和教科书，以及纽约市西奈山医院存档的文件，伯里尔·B·克罗恩在那里开展了他的开创性工作。研究结果的意义在于，护士在照顾克罗恩病患者时角色的变化反映了20世纪和21世纪初护理专业的专业化。
