Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ND) impair functioning and are associated with increased physical and psychological health risks. ND care is increasingly being provided by NPs in primary care settings. To assess NP's knowledge and care management practices for pediatric patients with potential or existing ND, practicing NPs in North Carolina were invited to complete an online survey. NC NP's provide care to ND patients in a variety of settings and have varied levels of experience with ND. Differences in knowledge, screening, and management practices are identified. Methods for improving outcomes and supporting NPs providing care for this at-risk population are discussed.
神经发育障碍(ND)会损害功能,并与身心健康风险增加相关。在初级保健机构中,执业护士(NP)越来越多地为神经发育障碍患者提供护理。为了评估执业护士对患有潜在或现有神经发育障碍的儿科患者的知识和护理管理实践,邀请了北卡罗来纳州的执业护士完成一项在线调查。北卡罗来纳州的执业护士在各种环境中为神经发育障碍患者提供护理,并且在神经发育障碍方面的经验水平各不相同。确定了在知识、筛查和管理实践方面的差异。讨论了改善结果以及支持执业护士为这一高危人群提供护理的方法。
