A new competency framework and educational game were developed for patients with surgical jejunostomy tubes. This initiative aims to improve patient education and reduce complications associated with daily tube use.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Education
- Patient Competency Development
- Medical Device Management
Background:
- Patients with surgical jejunostomy (feeding tube) use face daily risks of complications.
- Limited educational interventions and tools exist for these patients.
- No specific competency framework for surgical jejunostomy patients has been established.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive competency framework for surgical jejunostomy patients.
- To create an engaging educational tool based on the framework.
- To enhance patient education and support for managing jejunostomy tubes.
Main Methods:
- A multidisciplinary working group convened to establish the competency framework.
- A consensus-driven approach was employed to identify key competencies.
- An educational game, the "Jejunostomy Game," was designed based on priority competencies.
Main Results:
- A framework comprising 59 competencies (knowledge, know-how, attitudes) was developed.
- Twenty priority competencies were identified for focused patient education.
- The "Jejunostomy Game," an educational tool inspired by Trivial Pursuit®, was created.
Conclusions:
- The developed competency framework and educational game are vital for patients and healthcare providers.
- Further evaluation of the "Jejunostomy Game" is recommended to assess its effectiveness in improving patient knowledge and skills.
- This initiative addresses a critical gap in patient education for surgical jejunostomy management.

Ostomy Care
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:
