Abstract

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic illness characterized by widespread pain and multiple associated symptoms. Nurse practitioners (NPs), as primary care providers (PCP), play a crucial role in recognizing and managing misconceptions about FM, as a low index of suspicion can delay diagnosis and treatment. When patients feel dismissed, they may experience a lack of validation, frustration, and inadequate care, worsening their health outcomes. This article offers NPs evidence-based knowledge to enhance their understanding of FM, reduce diagnostic delays, improve patient education, and implement interdisciplinary strategies. By leading care teams, NPs can significantly improve outcomes and the quality of life for individuals with FM.
纤维肌痛和初级保健提供者的护理计划
纤维肌痛(FM)是一种以广泛疼痛和多种相关症状为特征的慢性疾病。作为初级保健提供者(PCP),执业护士(NPs)在识别和管理关于FM的误解方面发挥着至关重要的作用,因为低怀疑指数会延迟诊断和治疗。当患者感到被忽视时,他们可能会感到缺乏认可、沮丧和护理不足,从而恶化他们的健康结果。本文提供了以证据为基础的知识,以增强他们对FM的理解,减少诊断延误,改善患者教育,并实施跨学科策略。通过领导护理团队,NPs可以显著改善FM患者的预后和生活质量。
