We know that stoma surgery can have a profound effect on a person’s life and can cause significant changes in their daily routine, as well as impacting on their body confidence, self-belief, and ability to cope both physically and emotionally.
Evidence indicates that supporting psychological rehabilitation is paramount in achieving overall positive patient outcomes and should be considered as crucial as physical recovery.
Addressing these challenges with our patients will minimise the negative impact of adjusting to life with a stoma, giving them back control and support them on their journey.
View this webinar series, designed to address psychological rehabilitation, centred around one of our clinical whitepapers – Survivor to Thriver.
In the first of our webinars, renowned Psychotherapist, Bronagh Stars, specialising in trauma, provides an insight into how we can give patients the language to express their feelings and ultimately take ownership of living with a stoma.
In the second instalment of our webinar series, we focus on psychological impact of stoma formation and what can be done to help improve patient experience and surgical outcomes.
In this webinar, we look at the psychological impact of a stoma, specifically on quality of life, body image, self-esteem and anxiety.
In our final webinar of this series, Els Pazmany, sexologist and relationship therapist, explores the topic of sexuality and making it a topic for discussion in people with a stoma and their partners.
