Background:Primary care health professionals (HPs) are essential for continuity of care, especially for chronic conditions like rheumatic diseases. Therefore, knowledgeable and skilled HPs are needed in both settings, with close contact, to improve quality and safety. Primary care nurses may be pivotal to assure this continuity and liaison between care players. However, there is a lack of postgraduate rheumatology education for HPs working in this field1, a lack expected to be even greater in primary care.Objectives:We aimed to: 1) determine the knowledge on Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) of nurses working in primary care in Portugal; 2) determine their confidence in providing patient education (PE) on (i) the rheumatic diseases they contact most, (ii) biological DMARDs and (iii) Methotrexate (MTX); 3) explore professional factors influencing these confidence levels; 4) explore their educational needs in rheumatology.Methods:A national online survey was performed among nurses working in primary settings for ≥6 months. The survey assessed their certifications, experience in primary care, and their practice, knowledge, and confidence (from 0 to 10) in providing PE to these patients. Their educational needs and communication with their colleagues in rheumatology were also assessed. Educational leaflets were provided at the survey's end for didactic purpose. Spearman's correlation and Mann-Whitney tests were used to test nurse's confidence levels on PE.Results:There were 290 individuals accessing the survey, but only 129 (44.5%) completed it [mean age (SD)=42.6 (7.8) years, experience in primary care=13.7 (8.2) years; 47.3% having a post-graduate specialization].Osteoarthritis (69.0%), low back pain (68.2), and rheumatoid arthritis (62.8%) were the diseases that nurses contact the most. Only 5.4% of nurses recognized an image with five sc bDMARDs pens, reporting frequent contact with them; 18.6% reported rare contact. Knowledge on bDMARDS was poor (table 1). More than half of nurses reported not knowing what PE to provide (55.0%) and when these drugs should be suspended for patient's safety (63.6%); 55% never contacted with MTX and only 6.2% reported to know its side effects.Table 1Nurse's knowledge on bDMARDS (n=129)bDMARDS% yes are:Immunosuppressant’sNSAIDsCorticosteroidsPowerful analgesicsHormone therapyI don't know 27.110.19.31.60.851.1most common side effects are:Local reactionsInfectionsKidney insuf.CytopeniaWorsening of heart failureNeoplasmsRespiratory insuf.TuberculosisGastritis and peptic ulcersHepatotoxicityDemyelinating diseaseI don't know 15.520.27.06.23.16.21.614.73.116.32.358.9Confidence levels in providing PE were low (figure 1) and not correlated (p>0.05) with years of experience on primary care or with post-graduate specializations.Nurses' doubts are answered mainly via internet (68.2%) or by local colleagues (51.2%). Only 2 nurses (1.6%) had formal, although minor, rheumatology education but 88.4% would like to have it (delivery preferences were expressed).Conclusions:Knowledge and ...
