摘要:

A major purpose of this survey was to describe the impact of inflammatory bowel disease on the daily life of 150 nonhospitalized adults. A complementary purpose was to examine patient characteristics and their relationship to perceived impact. Self-report questionnaires and interviews were used to collect the data. Most patients reported a low to moderate impact of the disease on daily life. Greatest impact was reported in the areas of elimination, worry, recreation and leisure activities, sleep and rest. Among patient characteristics that correlated positively with the impact variable were age, under 35 years, female gender, depressed mood, and affective-oriented coping style. The findings suggest that nurses and other health professionals may enhance patient adaptation and life satisfaction by focusing efforts on patient characteristics that are amenable to change and on areas of life where the disease impact is experienced most intensively.

摘要:

This study evaluated the benefit of a gastroenterology nurse clinician providing dietary instructions to parents of children with recurrent diarrhea. These instructions for returning the child to a normal age-appropriate diet were given by telephone at the time of referral. Data analysis indicated that parents reported a decreased number of stools and an improved stool consistency during the waiting period for a clinic appointment, regardless of whether or not they received dietary instructions. Children in the control group lost an average of 0.4 g/day of weight while those whose parents received dietary instructions gained an average of 1.57 g/day. This difference in weight is clinically important and reinforces the premise that children with chronic diarrhea often receive calorie-deficient diets. The results of this study emphasize the important role that gastroenterology nurses play in the management of chronic diarrhea in children.
