Abstract
Aim: Most new ostomy patients are not able to manage ostomy self-care when they are discharged and rely on visiting nurse services for ostomy care. The aim of this study was to determine if a perioperative ostomy educational pathway increases the level of independence and decreases the need for visiting nurse services in new ostomy patients.
Method: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted between July 2018 and February 2020. Patients who received a colostomy or ileostomy and were treated on the surgery ward were included. Patients who followed a perioperative ostomy educational pathway were compared to a historical control group. The primary outcome measure was the level of independence in ostomy care and the need for visiting nurse services.
Results: After discharge, 67.6% of patients in the intervention group (n = 244) were able to independently perform ostomy care and were therefore not relying on visiting nurse services, compared to 15.2% of the patients in the control group (n = 33). The need for visiting nurse services was higher in patients aged ≥70 years (OR 3.20, P < 0.001), those who did not attend the preoperative practice session (OR 3.02, P = 0.002), those with a history of transient ischaemic attack (OR 10.22, P = 0.045) and those with mild cognitive impairment (OR 28.98, P = 0.002).
Conclusion: A perioperative ostomy educational pathway effectively increased the level of independence and decreased the need for visiting nurse services in new ostomy patients.
