Colonoscopy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), adolescents comprise 25% of all cases of IBD. Several studies have found that a safe, informative, and effective colonoscopy, performed in a child-friendly atmosphere with minimal distress to the child, is difficult to achieve. The aim of this study was to describe nurse’s experiences of the pre-colonoscopy procedure prior in children. A qualitative design with a thematic content analysis approach was used. Fifteen nurses at a children’s hospital participated in interviews regarding their experiences of the bowel cleansing procedure with PEG in children. Four key themes were extracted from the nurses’ experiences; lack of knowledge, challenges surrounding information, responsibility without control and assembly line- like procedure.. This study shows that nurses feel that they need more time and education opportunities before involved in paediatric colonoscopies.

专业人员在小儿结肠镜检查方面的经验：一项访谈研究

结肠镜检查在小儿炎症性肠病 (IBD) 的诊断中起着至关重要的作用，青少年占所有 IBD 病例的 25%。几项研究发现，在儿童友好的氛围中进行安全、信息丰富且有效的结肠镜检查，对儿童的痛苦最小，很难实现。本研究的目的是描述护士对儿童进行结肠镜检查前的经验。使用了具有主题内容分析方法的定性设计。一家儿童医院的 15 名护士参加了关于他们在儿童中使用 PEG 进行肠道清洁​​程序的经历的访谈。从护士的经历中提取了四个关键主题；缺乏知识、围绕信息的挑战、不受控制的责任和流水线式的程序。
