摘要
目的:淋巴水肿在医学教育中被忽视,对医疗从业者(HCPs)知识的回顾是必要的,以阐明差距,并为建立淋巴水肿教育计划提供证据。方法:本系统综述基于PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和Google Scholar数据库中的PRISMA指南进行。对淋巴水肿或HCPs的类型没有限制。基于QATSDD进行质量评价。每篇文章总结了有关研究特征、问卷背景和研究结果的数据。结果:筛选后,纳入16篇文章,其中12篇为横断面研究,2篇为定性研究,2篇为介入性先导研究。乳腺癌和其他与癌症相关的淋巴水肿、淋巴丝虫病和足癣病也被纳入其中,大多数文章都集中在原发性HCPs上。5篇和11篇文章的总体知识水平分别为低水平和中等水平,两篇研究的教育背景是提高淋巴水肿知识水平的重要因素。结论:需要对淋巴水肿进行结构化的教育,以增加医护人员的知识,并加强他们在多学科护理团队中的合作。提高医护人员的知识可能会改善被忽视的淋巴水肿患者的治疗效果。
Healthcare Practitioners' Knowledge of Lymphedema.
Objectives: Lymphedema is neglected in medical education, and a review on healthcare practitioners' (HCPs) knowledge is necessary to shed light on gaps and to provide evidence for establishing educational programs on lymphedema.
Methods: This systematic review was performed based on the PRISMA guideline in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. There was no limitation on the type of lymphedema or HCPs. The quality assessment was performed based on QATSDD. Data regarding study characteristics, questionnaire context, and findings of the study were summarized from each article.
Results: After the screening, 16 articles were included that 12 were cross-sectional, two were qualitative, and two were interventional pilot studies. Breast cancer and other cancer-related lymphedema, lymphatic filariasis, and podoconiosis were included, and the majority of articles were focused on primary HCPs. The overall knowledge was low and average in five and 11 articles, respectively, and prior education was a significant factor related to higher knowledge of lymphedema in two studies.
Conclusion: Structured education of lymphedema is needed to increase the knowledge of HCPs and to enhance their collaboration in multidisciplinary care teams. Improvement of HCPs' knowledge may lead to better outcomes of lymphedema patients' management which are neglected.
