Aims And Objectives:
To develop and validate the content of an educational podcast on intestinal stoma care and ostomy bags.
Background:
Need to develop a validated educational resource aimed at people with intestinal stomas in order to provide reliable and safe information on the necessary care.
Design:
A methodological study.
Methods:
A methodological study conducted from May 2022 to March 2023, following four stages: analysis of podcast productions through a scoping review with technological prospecting to support content development; podcast creation based on the review findings; content validation by expert judges using the Delphi technique; and recording and publishing the podcast on streaming platforms. Data analysis was performed using a content validation instrument via Google Forms, considering the Content Validity Index. Data were compiled in spreadsheets using Microsoft Office Excel 2016, with results presented in tables and charts.
Results:
A script was developed for the episode 'Care for hygiene, emptying, and changing intestinal ostomy bags', achieving an overall Content Validity Index of 0.97. After validation and content adjustments, the podcast, titled EstomaCast, was recorded and made freely available on Spotify and Deezer.
Conclusion:
The study enabled the development and validation of an educational podcast for self-care in intestinal stomas.
Relevance To Clinical Practice:
The resource facilitates access to reliable information, supports health education, and improves communication between patients and professionals, promoting adherence to best practices in stoma care.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
Six judges evaluated the content.

Ostomy Care

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:
