Analysis of Nursing Professionals Criteria Regarding the Application of Ostomy Devices at Each Stage of the Care Process
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the opinions and criteria of nursing professionals regarding the use of ostomy devices at each stage of the care process, considering both the characteristics of the ostomy and the patient. Method: A multicentered, cross-sectional descriptive study based on a national survey conducted among nursing professionals involved in the care of ostomy patients. Results: Despite the availability of various ostomy devices in most centers, patients are typically instructed in the use of twopiece devices upon hospitalization, which potentially explains their higher frequency of use. Discussion and Conclusion: Case presentations or industry-sponsored research have been identified where the use of specific devices is not justified, but rather their characteristics. Conducting a nationwide survey provides a comprehensive understanding of the criteria followed by nursing professionals in the care and management of ostomy patients, as well as in the selection and/or change of ostomy devices.
