Abstract

Polypharmacy is problematic in patients with fibromyalgia. The purpose of this project was to increase the number of medical cannabis referrals in a rheumatology clinic for patients with fibromyalgia. By implementing an educational intervention on the benefits of medical cannabis for fibromyalgia, the number of medical cannabis referrals increased. The project's results yielded an increase of 4% to 17% in medical cannabis referrals. This was significant, with a Z-score of 2.3143 and a p-value of .0103. The project concluded that the educational intervention on the benefits of medical cannabis for fibromyalgia increased the number of medical cannabis referrals post-intervention compared to pre-intervention. Future research is needed on other integrative therapies for fibromyalgia to reduce polypharmacy. This work is critical for nurses as we continue to advocate for holistic nursing care of our patients.

提高对医用大麻治疗纤维肌痛的认识和使用。
纤维肌痛患者多药是有问题的。该项目的目的是增加风湿病诊所为纤维肌痛患者转诊医用大麻的数量。通过实施关于医用大麻治疗纤维肌痛的益处的教育干预措施,医用大麻转诊的人数增加了。该项目的结果使医用大麻转诊增加了4%至17%。这是显著的,z得分为2.3143,p值为0.0103。该项目的结论是,与干预前相比,关于医用大麻治疗纤维肌痛益处的教育干预增加了干预后的医用大麻转诊人数。未来需要研究其他综合疗法来减少纤维肌痛的多重用药。这项工作对护士来说是至关重要的,因为我们继续倡导对患者的整体护理。

期刊介绍: Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
