    The Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) used the Delphi technique to create practice documents. This expert consensus method ensures accuracy and efficiency for gastroenterology nursing guidelines.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Practice
    • Gastroenterology Nursing
    • Healthcare Policy

    Background:

    • Developing accurate, efficient, and economical practice documents is crucial for the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA).
    • Gastroenterology (GI) nursing research is in its early stages, limiting reliance on large clinical trials for guideline development.
    • Alternative methods are needed to gather reliable information for creating professional standards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the Delphi technique as a method for expert consensus building.
    • To outline the application of the Delphi process in developing SGNA practice documents.
    • To detail the creation of the SGNA position statement on the responsibilities of the Gastroenterology Registered Nurse related to Conscious Sedation.
