We describe the implementation and impact of a province-wide program of knowledge exchange (KE), aimed at developing capacity for the treatment of people with eating disorders (EDs). The program is designed to equip clinicians working in nonspecialized health-care installations with skills to evaluate and treat people with EDs. Trainings were conducted at 21 institutions. The majority of clinicians reported satisfaction with the KE program and indicated that the trainings enhanced their confidence and ability to treat patients with EDs. A subset of clinicians received case supervision with a specialist ED therapist and followed patients with EDs (n = 119). Treated patients showed significant improvements on eating and depressive symptoms, and reported satisfaction with the treatments they received.
我们描述了一项全省范围的知识交流(KE)计划的实施情况及其影响,该计划旨在培养治疗饮食失调(ED)患者的能力。该计划旨在使在非专科医疗机构工作的临床医生具备评估和治疗ED患者的技能。培训在21家机构进行。大多数临床医生对KE计划表示满意,并指出培训增强了他们治疗ED患者的信心和能力。一部分临床医生接受了ED专科治疗师的病例督导,并对ED患者(n = 119)进行了跟踪。接受治疗的患者在饮食和抑郁症状方面有显著改善,并对所接受的治疗表示满意。
