Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the cognition and intension of the enterostomal therapists for multi-sited practice, and explore the feasibility of the multi-sited practice among specialist nurses.
Methods:A questionnaire was developed and distributed in November 2017 to nurses qualified for enterostomal therapists and engaged in this work. 89.57% of the questionnaires were effectively recovered.
Results:The scorings of both the feasibility (3.78±0.97) and compliances (3.99±1.00) for enterostomal therapists to practice at multiple sites were higher than that (3.61±1.31) for feasibility of multi-sited practice of nurses at large. Around 95% of the respondents held that they could independently practice at multiple sites as enterostomal therapists, and two thirds of them proposed the regulatory authority for nurses′ multi-sited practice to be all the medical institutions or regional healthcare authorities which permit multi-sited practice of enterostomal therapists.
Conclusions:Specialist nurses represented by enterostomal therapists highly embrace nurses′ multi-sited practice, take a positive attitude towards their competence in this regard, and expect more stakeholders involved in setting up such a management system.
