Rheumatic Heart Disease IV: Nursing Management

AssessmentA comprehensive assessment is essential in managing a patient with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Begin with obtaining a detailed medical history, including recent streptococcal infections, a history of rheumatic fever, or previously diagnosed rheumatic heart disease. Assess the patient for symptoms such as fever, chest pain, widespread joint pain (arthralgia), tachycardia, pericardial friction rub, muffled heart sounds, heart murmurs, peripheral edema, subcutaneous nodules, and...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Rheumatology Training
  • Competency-Based Education

Background:

  • Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) define essential skills for graduating rheumatologists.
  • Current rheumatology fellowship training in Saudi Arabia needed standardized assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a core set of EPAs for rheumatology fellowship training programs in Saudi Arabia.
  • To establish a framework for assessing rheumatologist competency.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review and curriculum analysis informed the initial EPA development.
  • A modified Delphi technique with 32 rheumatology experts in Saudi Arabia was used for validation.
  • A 5-point Likert scale assessed EPA relevancy across two rounds.

Main Results:

  • An initial 36 EPAs were proposed, refined to 32 through two Delphi rounds.
  • A strong consensus was reached on 32 core EPAs for rheumatology training.
  • Excluded EPAs lacked relevance, overlapped with others, or posed implementation challenges.

Conclusions:

  • A validated core set of 32 EPAs for Saudi Arabian rheumatology fellowship training has been established.
  • Future work should focus on mapping milestones to these EPAs for curriculum enhancement.
