Aims:
To evaluate nursing activity through outcomes that are affected, provided, and/or influenced by nurses and defined as nursing-sensitive outcomes in adult IBD patients.
Design:
Systematic review without meta-analysis.
Data Sources:
PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library databases on August 2019.
Review Methods:
Peer-reviewed articles published between 2000-2020 were reviewed. The outcome measures were contextualized and presented by OMERACT Filter 2.0.
Results:
Twenty-four studies were included. Eighteen nursing-sensitive outcomes were identified. These outcomes defined eight domains for health intervention, fitting into three core areas (resource use/economic impact, life impact, pathophysiological manifestations). Fifty-three measurement instruments were identified.
Conclusions:
Through 53 measurement tools, with use of OMERACT framework, 18 nursing-sensitive outcomes in the main 3 core areas were identified, highlighting the multidimensional role of nursing. Further insights are to be carried out to define nursing outcomes included in IBD nursing intervention studies.
Impact:
These results could serve as a cornerstone for further investigations and validation by a panel of experts to standardizing nursing activity in a multidisciplinary context.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
