Objective:
This study aimed to understand the barriers to nurse-physician collaboration in implementing preoperative stoma site marking using qualitative research methods following Theoretical Domain Framework.
Methods:
A qualitative descriptive study using semi-structured interviews was conducted from March to June 2023 in the urology departments of nine tertiary hospitals in China. Twelve urologists and eight enterostomal therapists (ETs) were recruited using purposive sampling. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and data were analyzed using content analysis.
Results:
Five themes were identified in the study: shortage of manpower and stoma care products, lack of standard and regulations, lack of motivation and intention, inconsistency of expectation on consequences, and difficulties in cooperation.
Conclusion:

Institutions, resources, clear career plans, and performance feedback can increase motivation and intention. In addition, the lack of cooperation between urologists and ETs is a key factor for poor urostomy localization implementation, which calls for effective and equal communication between doctors and nurses.
