Nurses' Satisfaction and Demand for Stoma Care in the National Cancer Patient Home-Care Pilot Program
Background:
The "National Cancer Patient Home-Care Pilot Program" was launched in South Korea to provide continuous management for cancer patients with a stoma. However, participation by medical institutions was low, and services were inconsistently provided.
Objective:
We investigated nurses' satisfaction with and demand for the pilot program for home care of cancer patients with a stoma.
Methods:
Data were collected through a survey administered to 196 nurses from November 13, 2022, to January 19, 2023. The questionnaire gathered information on the respondents' characteristics, the status of stoma patient management, their satisfaction with the program, and their needs.
Results:
Of the 196 nurses surveyed, 42 (21.4%) participated in the home-care pilot program. Among them, 35 nurses (85.4%) were satisfied with the program, and 30 nurses (71.4%) reported that home-care implementation needed to be expanded and standards of care needed to be improved.
Discussion:
To enhance the home-care pilot program for cancer patients with a stoma, better medical services must be provided by improving the medical fee standard. This will enable more patients and medical institutions to participate in the program.

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:
