Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient Education
  • Chronic Care Management

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer impacts over 1.2 million Americans annually.
  • Approximately 700,000 individuals live with an ostomy, many post-colorectal cancer diagnosis.
  • Existing educational resources for long-term ostomy care are insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive Chronic Care Ostomy Self-Management Program.
  • To address identified gaps in education and support for ostomy patients.
  • To improve quality of life for individuals managing ostomies long-term.

Main Methods:

  • Program development informed by quality-of-life data in ostomy patients.
  • Incorporated patient-reported educational needs and suggestions.
  • Analyzed usual care for new ostomates to identify educational gaps.
  • Multidisciplinary research team and experienced ostomy nurses collaborated.
  • Program development included patient and peer input.

Main Results:

  • A Chronic Care Ostomy Self-Management Program was successfully developed.
  • Pilot testing is currently underway.
  • Initial participant feedback indicates high satisfaction with the program's syllabus.
  • Ostomy nurse leaders and peer support ('buddies') received positive evaluations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed program shows promise in addressing educational deficits for ostomy patients.
  • High participant satisfaction suggests the program is well-received and potentially effective.
  • Further testing is needed to confirm the program's impact on long-term ostomy self-management and quality of life.
