THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF NURSES IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE MANAGEMENT: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN A COLOMBIAN IBD CENTER.
Observational study in Arquivos de gastroenterologia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) requires a multidisciplinary approach due to its complexity. Nurses play a key role in disease management, patient education, and care coordination. This study describes the role of nurses in an IBD Center of Excellence in Colombia, focusing on five pillars: clinical care, research, quality of life (including fatigue and mental health assessment), empowerment, and multidisciplinary support.
methodsDescriptive observational study conducted between 2023 and 2024, using semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and surveys with the nursing team. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Measures were taken to minimize observer and interviewer bias.
resultsA total of 90 IBD patients were evaluated (56.6% female; mean age 40.8 years). Nurses played a central role in patient education, phenotyping, follow-up, and performing intestinal ultrasound. The IBDQ-32 questionnaire revealed moderate impact on quality of life, and the IBD-F scale identified fatigue in a subset of patients despite clinical remission. Patient satisfaction remained above 98% in both years. Nurses also coordinated pediatric-to-adult transitions, organized multidisciplinary meetings, and contributed to 41 research posters, some of which received international recognition.
conclusionNurses are essential in IBD management, contributing to clinical care, education, quality of life assessment, research, and patient empowerment. Their involvement enhances outcomes, satisfaction, and the efficiency of multidisciplinary teams. Expanding standardized nurse training in Latin America is vital to strengthen IBD care.
