Whitepapers

Firstly, loss of control leading to a grieving process. How important it is that we validate the sense of loss of control that ostomates can feel after surgery. Giving them the language they need to express their feelings, as they navigate through a range of emotions from grieving and denial, through to ultimate acceptance.
Secondly, altered body image and loss of self-esteem. How crucial it is that we integrate mutual support, educational, and supportive interventions within each patient’s care plan to help address these issues.
And lastly intimacy and sexual healing. As stoma care nurses, we need to be willing to acquire new skills through appropriate specialised training and education helping us address highly sensitive topics with our patients.
