Nursing Research
|September 19, 2025
Summary
Nurses reported high satisfaction with South Korea's National Cancer Patient Home-Care Pilot Program, but called for expanded services and improved care standards for cancer patients with a stoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology nursing
- Healthcare program evaluation
- Stoma care
Background:
- The National Cancer Patient Home-Care Pilot Program in South Korea aimed to support cancer patients with stomas.
- Low participation and inconsistent service delivery were noted challenges for the pilot program.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess nurses' satisfaction with the pilot program for home care of cancer patients with a stoma.
- To determine nurses' demand for improvements in the stoma home-care program.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted with 196 nurses between November 13, 2022, and January 19, 2023.
- The questionnaire collected data on nurse demographics, stoma patient management, program satisfaction, and needs.
Main Results:
- Out of 196 nurses, 42 (21.4%) participated in the home-care pilot program.
- A high percentage of participating nurses (85.4%) expressed satisfaction with the program.
- Over 71% of nurses advocated for program expansion and enhanced care standards.
Conclusions:
- Improving the medical fee standard is crucial for better medical services within the stoma home-care program.
- Enhancements are needed to increase participation from both patients and medical institutions in the pilot program.

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:

Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

Nursing Evaluation
4.2K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
