Doctor or nurse? The patients' choice.

چکیده
This project's aim was to assess patients perceived need for a specialist nurse in inflammatory bowel disease. A letter was sent to 64 patients with a summary of the potential role of a specialist nurse. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire of 10 scenarios on who would be their preferred provider on the range of issues. There were 35 (55%) replies. When comparing the results between the consultant and the specialist nurse patients preferred to see a specialist nurse significantly in four scenarios, and patients preferred to see the consultant significantly in two scenarios. The results indicate that patients feel specialist nurses would have more time to discuss issues and they do not want to bother the busy doctors with them. But they do want doctors to carry out the medical aspects of their care.
