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:

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.

Peritoneal Dialysis III: Nursing Management01:25

Peritoneal Dialysis III: Nursing Management

Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...

Area of Science:

  • Ostomy care and patient education.
  • Digital health and remote patient monitoring.
  • Healthcare policy and expert consensus.

Background:

  • Remote education is growing in ostomy care but lacks standardized definitions and implementation strategies.
  • Inconsistent approaches hinder effective remote patient education for individuals with ostomies.
  • There is a need for evidence-based recommendations to guide remote ostomy education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop practice-oriented recommendations for implementing remote patient education for people living with an ostomy.
  • To establish consensus among experts on key components of remote ostomy education.
  • To standardize remote ostomy care in Italy.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi method was employed with an expert panel of stomatherapists and ostomy patients in Italy.
  • A three-round consensus process involved a focus group and anonymous online surveys.
  • Consensus was defined as ≥75% agreement on statements regarding remote ostomy education.

Main Results:

  • Consensus was reached on 8 definitions and 14 statements across six domains, including care models, privacy, program structure, content, timing, and professional requirements.
  • Recommendations support a hybrid-by-default model, privacy-by-design, tailored multimodal content, and staged educational pathways.
  • Emphasis was placed on dignity, relational quality, professional training in digital empathy, and integration into clinical records.

Conclusions:

  • This consensus offers the first ostomy-specific recommendations for standardizing remote patient education in Italy.
  • The recommendations prioritize equity, privacy, dignity, robust evaluation, and essential workforce competencies.
  • Implementation-focused guidance aims to improve the quality and consistency of remote ostomy care.
