AimsThis study aims to explore the experiences of rehabilitation specialist nurses in providing bowel care to stroke patients and to identify the factors that either facilitate or hinder their practice.DesignThis was a descriptive qualitative design study.MethodsBetween May 2022 and October 2022, we conducted in‐depth and semi‐structured interviews with 12 rehabilitation specialist nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Changsha, China. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the interview transcripts.FindingsThree key themes were revealed from our analysis: (1) acceptance of bowel care as a process, (2) high level of recognition improves the experience and (3) challenges stemming from limited knowledge and rights. Acceptance of bowel care as a dynamic process, coupled with a high level of recognition, enabled nurses to prioritize the health and safety of patients over personal feelings and achieve professional accomplishments. However, they encountered challenges in terms of professional development and restricted prescribing rights for bowel care.ConclusionThe experiences of rehabilitation specialist nurses in providing bowel care are dynamic. These findings have important implications for healthcare improvement, including the need for collaboration with healthcare professionals and nurturing nurses' self‐identity, comprehensive training plans, innovative programs and expanding the scope of rehabilitation specialist nurses' rights.ImpactThis study enhances our understanding of the challenges faced by rehabilitation specialist nurses caring for stroke patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction. The findings provide insights into how to enhance bowel care experience and develop further in this field.Reporting MethodThis study adhered to the EQUATOR guideline and utilized the COREQ checklist.Patient or Public ContributionsThis study involved participants who were registered nurses, and there were no contributions from patients or public.

“…The Children and Families Act36 outlines the duty of schools’ to ensure pupils with medical conditions are supported 37. However, the literature indicates a gap in the knowledge of schools about chronic diseases, such as IBD 38 39. This illustrates the vital role of effective liaison between health and education, with the provision of training/support, further highlighted by many responses indicating nurse specialists educating teachers could result in improved attendance (figure 1).…”

Children and young people with inflammatory bowel disease attend less school than their healthy peers

ObjectiveChronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can impact negatively on education and social development. Examining the impact of IBD on school/college attendance for children and young people (CYP) is vital to provide targeted support to patients, families and schools.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional survey to determine the school/college attendance rates, the reasons for absence related to IBD and facilitators or barriers to school/college attendance. In a subset of patients followed up locally, we performed a detailed review of hospital attendance data to assess healthcare burden.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty-one questionnaires were given to CYP with IBD aged 5–17 years. Response rate was 74% (final sample 169). The median school/college attendance rate was 92.5%, significantly lower than all children in England (95.2%). 39.6% of children with IBD were persistently absent, defined nationally as missing 10% or more of school. Only five children (3%) had a 100% attendance record. Increasing age and use of monoclonal therapy were predictors of poor school attendance. Concerns about feeling unwell at school/college, access to toilets, keeping up with work and teachers’ understanding of IBD are the main issues for CYP with IBD. There was a significant negative correlation between number of days in hospital and school attendance.ConclusionIBD has a significant impact on school/college attendance, with hospital attendance, disease burden and school difficulties being major factors. Employing strategies to minimise healthcare burden and developing a partnership between health and education to support children with IBD will serve to facilitate school/college attendance.
