Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

222
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:

  • Health Communication
  • Patient Support
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Ostomy surgery significantly impacts patients' lives, particularly communication and social interactions.
  • A need exists for structured guidance to help ostomates navigate post-operative social challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To co-produce an evidence-based communication guide for individuals with ostomies during their transition.
  • To establish a model for creating communication guides for other chronic illnesses.

Main Methods:

  • A three-stage co-production process: Pre-Design (needs assessment interviews, n=27), Co-Design (guide drafting), and Post-Design (evaluation interviews and focus groups, n=15).
  • Qualitative interviews and focus groups were used to gather feedback from ostomates.

Main Results:

  • Co-production is a beneficial method for healthcare delivery.
  • Ostomy patients require specific guidance for managing social situations.
  • The developed guide received feedback on its strengths and weaknesses.

Conclusions:

  • The co-production approach effectively generated a relevant communication guide for ostomy patients.
  • The findings support the application of this method for creating similar guides in other chronic health conditions.
  • The guide aims to improve ostomates' confidence and ability to manage social interactions.
