Abstract

A virtual educational and networking event took place for registered nurses caring for administering biologic therapy in paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients and their families. The aim was to establish the level of self-reported competencies of the nurses and to evaluate the impact that the event had on them. Participants were requested to complete an online questionnaire before and after the interprofessional education event. Some 21 pre–event questionnaires were completed. Of these, 81% (17) reported no previous relevant training, 20% (4) did not feel competent in the administration of biologics and patient monitoring and 29% (6) did not feel competent to meet the patient's holistic needs. A total of 13 post-event evaluations were completed. All (13) agreed/strongly agreed with feeling more competent in caring for patients and 84.7% (11) agreed/strongly agreed with feeling more competent in administering and monitoring the biologic therapy. A total of 77% (10) of participants could identify changes to their practice post-event. This study highlighted the need for interprofessional education for nurses caring for paediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients, particularly where care is delivered in district general hospitals. Feedback demonstrated that virtual educational events are effective in raising self-reported nursing competencies and in ensuring high standards of practice.

教育护理接受生物制剂治疗的儿科炎症性肠病患者的护士：虚拟事件的影响

为负责儿科炎症性肠病（IBD）患者及其家人进行生物治疗的注册护士举办了一场虚拟教育和网络活动。目的是确定护士自我报告的能力水平，并评估事件对他们的影响。参与者被要求在跨专业教育活动前后完成一份在线问卷。完成了约21份活动前问卷调查。其中，81%（17）的人报告以前没有接受过相关培训，20%（4）的人觉得自己没有能力管理生物制剂和患者监测，29%（6）的人认为自己没有能力满足患者的整体需求。共完成了13项活动后评价。所有（13）人都同意/强烈同意在照顾患者方面感觉更有能力，84.7%（11）人同意/强烈赞同在实施和监测生物治疗方面感觉更有能力。共有77%（10）的参与者能够识别出他们在活动后练习的变化。这项研究强调了对护理儿科炎症性肠病患者的护士进行跨专业教育的必要性，特别是在地区综合医院提供护理的情况下。反馈表明，虚拟教育活动在提高自我报告的护理能力和确保高标准的实践方面是有效的。
