Women's Experience With Celiac Disease: A Phenomenological Study
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experience of women who have been diagnosed with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a multisystem autoimmune disease and affects approximately 1% of the population. In addition, celiac disease is seen 1–2 times more often in women and they tend to have more severe disease and treatment burden. Quantitative research has been completed on celiac disease, but there remains a gap related to the implications of the disease from a qualitative perspective. The research tradition used for this qualitative study was phenomenology. Interviews were audio-recorded using a...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate primary care nurse practitioners' clinical approaches regarding nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, their knowledge regarding diagnosis and management, and their preparedness ...

Supportive Interventions During Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C: A Review of the Literature
There are an estimated 3 million people living with chronic hepatitis C, yet many have limited access to healthcare and treatment due to a variety of behavioral/lifestyle determinants of health. The aim of this literature review was to examine care models and innovations for people successfully treated from 2011 to 2018. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL to identify care models for people undergoing treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Ten articles met criteria for inclusion and included multiple types of care models, including nurse initiated (n = 2), telemedicine care (n = 3), group visit (n = 1), concurrent treatmen...

A Conceptual Framework for Rescheduling Elective Pediatric Gastroenterology Procedures Following COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown
We present the framework that we have adopted toward prioritizing procedures with the assumption that it offers an objective methodology and that can be efficiently and more broadly applied to other similar practice scenarios. Our tool may have wide-ranging implications both in the current COVID-19 pandemic and in other scenarios of limited resource allocation and deserves further investigation.

Decisional Conflict in Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube Placement in Adults: An Integrative Review of the Literature
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes are placed when individuals are unable to orally consume adequate nutrition and require an alternative method to meet their daily nutritional needs. This decision is multifactorial and depends on the prognosis of the illness, patients' wishes, and weighing risks versus benefits. The recent movement toward patient-centered care supports open communication and shared decision-making that have the potential to mitigate decisional conflict. The aim of this literature review was to identify factors associated with the decision-making process for gastrostomy tube placement for adults. Th...
