P-181 YI Inflammatory Bowel Disease Nurses in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing illness and includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The disease course often fluctuates over time requiring maintenance therapy and acute interventions to target flares of disease. IBD management requires a multi-disciplinary approach to care from physicians, nurses, dieticians, social workers, and psychologists. As nurses play a pivotal role in managing chronic disease, the aim is to assess and determine how many nurses work primarily with IBD patients in Canada. A 29-question survey was developed within Survey Monkey, to investigate nursing demographics, IBD nursing roles, and nursing services provided across Canada. The survey was distributed to the Canadian Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (CSGNA), the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG), Progress Patient Assistance Program and BioAdvance Program Coordinators (via email) and was posted online for a period of 15 weeks. Of 275 survey respondents, results showed 98% were female nurses with 69% employed in full-time positions. Among them, 43% were between the ages of 51–60 and 32% were between the ages of 41–50. In addition, 54% of those surveyed were diploma prepared Registered Nurses, 35% were Baccalaureate prepared nurses and 4% were Masters prepared nurses. Almost half were employed in Ontario 44%(121), followed by 19%(54) in Alberta and 9%(25) in British Columbia. All provinces were represented with the exception of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. In all, 43% (or 119 nurses) were identified as working in the Endoscopy Units. Of the 90% who responded as working with IBD patients, only 30% (79) had a primary role in IBD care. Among these 79 nurses with a primary role in IBD care, 80% worked with the adult population, 10% with the pediatric population and 10% worked with both adult and pediatric patients. Their major service was conducted in an outpatient setting (67%). Survey results show only a small percentage of Canadian GI nurses provide clinical IBD care. Many have multiple roles and responsibilities and provide a variety of services. The exact depth of care and service is unclear and further study is needed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
