Objective:
to describe scientific evidence of self-care games for people with intestinal stomas.
Methods:
a scoping review that included original, review, experimental, exploratory, descriptive, analytical, quasi-experimental, and experimental articles. Editorials, letters to the editor, abstracts, opinion pieces, duplicates, and studies involving animals or cadavers were excluded. The articles followed the following stages: export to Mendeley software; exclusion of duplicates; screening; test investigation; full-text reading; eligibility assessment; reference search; and article inclusion. Data extraction was conducted in accordance with JBI, which served as the basis for assessing methodological quality.
Results:
a total of 645 articles were identified, leaving two articles included. Article 1 consisted of a card game for adults, with probing questions about handling and maintenance. Article 2, a smartphone app called StoMakker, was for children and adolescents.
Conclusions:
we identified a lack of articles addressing the topic and the need to expand publications and develop these playful activities.

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:
