Anorectal manometry may be performed by a nurse or physician, yet little has been written about what training is needed. Additionally, many gastroenterology nurses receive little exposure to motility studies such as anorectal manometry, limiting their ability to learn these procedures. We therefore sought to evaluate whether a short didactic course on anorectal manometry would increase nurses' knowledge about the procedure and stimulate their interest in becoming trained to perform it. To accomplish this, gastroenterology nurses attended a series of three lectures on anorectal manometry. A 15-question quiz was given as a pre-test and again as a post-test after completing the course. Thirteen nurses participated (11 female, mean age 46). None had experience performing anorectal manometry. Due to the course, test scores increased from a mean of 8.4 (55.9%) correct to 13.3 (88.7%) (p < .001), with improvements noted in 12 of 13 participants (92.3%). All of the nurses felt that the course increased their knowledge of anorectal manometry and reported that they would recommend it to other nurses. Most (61.5%) also expressed an interest in becoming trained to perform anorectal manometry. In conclusion, a short didactic course has been shown to increase nurses' knowledge and interest in performing anorectal manometry.
直肠肛门测压法可由护士或医生进行，但关于需要何种培训的相关内容却鲜有报道。此外，许多胃肠病学护士很少接触到像直肠肛门测压法这样的动力研究，这限制了他们学习这些操作的能力。因此，我们试图评估短期直肠肛门测压法讲座是否会增加护士对该程序的了解，并激发他们接受培训以进行该程序的兴趣。为此，胃肠病学护士参加了一系列关于直肠肛门测压法的三次讲座。在课程结束前进行了 15 个问题的测验，作为预测试，在课程结束后再次进行了测验。有 13 名护士参加了（11 名女性，平均年龄 46 岁）。他们都没有进行直肠肛门测压法的经验。由于该课程，测试成绩从平均 8.4 分（55.9%）提高到 13.3 分（88.7%）（p <.001），13 名参与者中的 12 名（92.3%）都有所提高。所有护士都认为该课程增加了他们对直肠肛门测压法的了解，并表示将向其他护士推荐该课程。大多数（61.5%）人还表示有兴趣接受培训以进行直肠肛门测压法。总之，短期的理论课程已经证明可以提高护士进行直肠肛门测压法的知识和兴趣。
