Abstract
En 中文
The Nurses Committee of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (N-ECCO) is an active Committee of the ECCO that aims to improve access to nurse education in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) throughout Europe and to provide a link with national nursing networking organizations. The first N-ECCO Consensus Statements were published in 2013 and sought to identify the positioning of nurses in the care of patients with IBD and to provide a consensus on the ideal standard of minimum care that patients with IBD might expect. The first update was made in 2018. The N-ECCO Consensus Statements have been widely distributed internationally, guiding IBD centers and IBD nurses to establish the most optimal quality of care in IBD. High-quality IBD care requires working within a multidisciplinary team (MDT). Core team members should include at least one IBD nurse, a gastroenterologist, a colorectal surgeon, a radiologist, and a dietitian. In this MDT, the IBD nurse has a clear role as coordinator between the patient and the different disciplines, with the objective of providing a holistic approach to care.1,2 In addition to administering and monitoring treatments, IBD nurses provide education, support, counselling, and advocacy for patients. Even if the role of the IBD nurse has become more established in recent years, several differences between countries remain, including variations in education and role. In the two previous N-ECCO Consensus Statements, the statements were divided into fundamental and advanced IBD nursing. Due to the different conditions across countries, this division was removed in this update.
