Evaluation of an information booklet for general practitioners with patients on home parenteral nutrition. Abstract Text:
An information package was developed for general practitioners (GPs) involved in the management of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients. The booklet covered five major sections: background information; HPN training; complications of HPN; arrangements for a particular patient; and hospital management of HPN. This study was designed to determine the acceptability of the booklet to GPs. A booklet and a questionnaire were distributed to 30 GPs; 23 were returned. The majority of respondents found the booklet easy to read and interesting. Most GPs found the sections on general background information and possible complications to be of great value. Overall, the booklet was very well accepted, 96% of respondents stated that the information provided was of value.
