Abstract

<p>We conducted a cross-sectional survey about dermatology nursing among doctors (n=168) and nurses (n=280) who worked at hospitals and clinics. This survey aimed to obtain basic information for improving education plans for dermatology nurse specialists. We listed 25 items of knowledge and skills needed for dermatology nursing, and asked both groups which items were important for nurses to acquire. The nurses ranked the necessity for the following items significantly higher than the doctors did: medical knowledge and patient instruction skills (4 items), disease specific knowledge and skills (10 items), and skills on educating patients about topical and oral administration drugs (3 items). In order to convey necessary information to patients and provide team-based care, it is important to fill the gaps between nurses and doctors.</p>
