To identify Endometriosis Nurse Specialists' roles and responsibilities in accredited Endocentres, how these align with the Royal College of Nursing Skills Framework and potential for development to improve patient care.
Cross-sectional national survey.
Data were collected from an online survey distributed to all 66 Endometriosis Nurse Specialists working across 58 UK-based Endometriosis registered centres. The response rate was 58% ( = 38). Data from closed questions were analysed using descriptive statistics, and free text responses were collated and analysed thematically.
Unlike Nurse Specialists in other fields of practice, most Endometriosis Nurse Specialists ( = 33, 87%) had another nursing role. The median hours worked per week as an endometriosis nurse was only 13.5 hr. Most respondents ( = 35, 92%) spent all or most of their allocated hours collecting and inputting endometriosis data, whilst over a third ( = 13, 34%) were not undertaking any autonomous, nurse-led patient consultations.
确定子宫内膜异位症专科护士在经认可的子宫内膜异位症中心的角色和职责,这些角色和职责如何与皇家护理学院技能框架保持一致,以及其在改善患者护理方面的发展潜力。
全国性横断面调查。
通过在线调查收集数据,该调查分发给在英国58个注册子宫内膜异位症中心工作的所有66名子宫内膜异位症专科护士。回复率为58%(n = 38)。对封闭式问题的数据进行描述性统计分析,对自由文本回复进行整理并进行主题分析。
与其他实践领域的专科护士不同,大多数子宫内膜异位症专科护士(n = 33,87%)还有其他护理职责。作为子宫内膜异位症护士,每周工作的中位数时长仅为13.5小时。大多数受访者(n = 35,92%)将其分配的所有或大部分时间用于收集和输入子宫内膜异位症数据,而超过三分之一(n = 13,34%)的人没有进行任何自主的、由护士主导的患者咨询。
