Abstract
Introduction

Collaboration between Primary Care (PC) and Gastroenterology in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is crucial to provide high-quality healthcare. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between PC and gastroenterologists at a national level in order to identify areas for improvement in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and how to address them, with the aim of subsequently developing concrete proposals and projects between SEMERGEN and GETECCU.

Methods

Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, was carried out using an anonymous online questionnaire between October 2021 and March 2022.

Results

A total of 157 surveys from Gastroenterology and 222 from PC were collected. 43.8% and 34.3% of gastroenterologists and family practitioners, respectively, considered that there was a good relationship between the units. The level of knowledge from family practitioners regarding different aspects of IBD out of 10 was: clinical 6.67±1.48, diagnosis 6.47±1.46, treatment 5.63±1.51, follow-up 5.53±1.68 and complications 6.05±1.54. The perception of support between both units did not exceed 4.5 on a scale from 0 to 10 in either of the surveys. The most highly voted improvement proposals were better coordination between the units, implementation of IBD units, and nursing collaboration.

Conclusion

There are deficiencies in the relationship between PC and Gastroenterology with special dedication to IBD that require the efforts of the scientific societies that represent them for greater coordination with the development of joint protocols and agile, fast, and effective communication channels.

Resumen
Introducción

La colaboración entre Atención Primaria (AP) y Gastroenterología en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) es crucial para ofrecer una atención médica de alta calidad. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar, en el ámbito nacional, la relación entre AP y los gastroenterólogos con el objetivo de conocer los aspectos de mejora en el manejo de pacientes con EII y cómo poder implementarlos, para así desarrollar posteriormente propuestas y proyectos concretos entre SEMERGEN y GETECCU.

Metodología

Estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal, realizado mediante cuestionario online anónimo entre octubre de 2021 y marzo de 2022.

Resultados

Se recopilaron un total de 157 encuestas de Gastroenterología y 222 de AP. El 43,8% y el 34,3% de los gastroenterólogos y médicos de familia, respectivamente, consideraron tener una buena relación. El grado de conocimiento de los médicos de familia sobre diferentes aspectos de la EII (puntuado sobre 10) fue: aspectos clínicos 6,67±1,48, diagnósticos 6,47±1,46, terapéuticos 5,63±1,51, de seguimiento 5,53±1,68 y complicaciones 6,05±1,54. La percepción del apoyo y soporte entre ambas unidades no superó el 4,5 en una escala de 0 a 10 en ninguna de las encuestas. Las propuestas de mejora más votadas fueron: mayor coordinación entre especialistas, implantación de unidades de EII y colaboración de enfermería.

Conclusión

Existen deficiencias en la relación entre AP y Gastroenterología con especial dedicación a la EII que requiere de los esfuerzos de las sociedades científicas que los representan para una mayor coordinación, con elaboración de protocolos conjuntos y medios de comunicación ágiles, rápidos y efectivos.
