Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine through a Delphi process a list of outcomes measures for clinicians to use when assessing individuals with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS).
Methods: A three-phase Delphi process was conducted by the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS) Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Taskforce, including two online surveys, two virtual meetings, and three in-person consensus meetings at the ISSLS annual conferences (2023-2025). Participants evaluated and ranked outcome measures for LSS, with final endorsement requiring > 66% agreement.
Background: To help reduce mental health disparities in the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) population, there is a need to equip future psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) with affirming care competence.
Method: This study evaluated a multimodal education program that combined eLearning with two virtual standardized patient (SP) simulations to teach PMHNP students to provide affirming mental health care to TGD people.
Results: Slight increases in knowledge and attitudes were not practically applicable.
