Filter by:Self-care non-pharmacological methods can help reduce the negative health effects of sleep problems or insomnia. This trial aims to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation alone and in combination on sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in adults with a stoma.
An ostomy is defined by the connection of a viscera to the skin, outside its natural location, by diversion from the digestive or urinary tract. The bodily injury, i.e. the creation of a stoma, has familiar, social and professional consequences. Personalized care, with the help of an ostomy nurse, is essential to accompany the ostomy patient in the changes of his or her life habits. In addition, the progress made in the various appliances, pouching and irrigation systems, contribute to improving the quality of life of these people. In this context of adapted support, COLOPLAST has developed a range of ostomy pouches, the SenSura Mio BodyFit® technology range, for digestive or urinary stomas. The diversity of the devices makes it possible to find the most suitable combination to adapt to the morphology thanks to an elastic adhesive for a secure fit to individual body shape, and the textile materials used make it possible to optimize wearing comfort. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of life of patients with recent ostomies with one of COLOPLAST's SenSura Mio devices at three months after discharge from the hospital. The condition of the skin around the stoma and the level of satisfaction of the patients will also be evaluated. Finally, the results obtained aim to identify factors predictive of a better quality of life in order to improve management.
The purpose of the study is to develop, implement and determine the effects of web-based education programs for patients undergoing colostomy and ileostomy.The study is a randomized controlled experimental research with a pre-test post-test control group design. The study group of the research consisted of individuals, who have an abdominal stoma procedure at a Training and Research Hospital operating under the Ministry of Health in Turkey. 35 individuals were enrolled to the experiment and control groups (N=70). The study group of the hospital was determined as a result of the power analysis performed on an average number of 150 patients, on whom a stoma is opened within a year, with an estimated effect rate of 0.824 and a SD of 0.45, the power being 0.80 and confidence interval p:0.05, as a total of 50 patients, 25 in the experiment group and 25 in the control group. Taking into consideration the data loss that may be experienced, it was planned to enrol 35 individuals to the experiment group and 35 individuals to the control group. The patients were randomly assigned to each group. Homogeneity of patients randomized to the experiment and control groups was checked with a t-test. Research data were collected using an Information Form, Stoma Complications Assessment Form and City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire and Stoma Care Knowledge Assessment Test.
A parastomal bulge (PB) is a frequent long-term complication after stoma formation. Most parastomal bulging occurs within two years of stoma formation but is seen up to 20 years post-surgery. A bulge may be relatively obvious or extremely difficult to diagnose, and descriptions of symptoms vary from 'asymptomatic', 'symptomatic' to 'high symptom load'. Previous studies report that quality of life as well as physical, psychological and social function are affected in patients with parastomal bulging. However, there is a lack of knowledge of patients' lived experiences with parastomal bulging. Insight into patients' experiences of symptoms in relation to parastomal bulging and the impact on everyday life may help identify issues of importance from the patient perspective. This, in turn, may help professionals to better understand and support patients with PB, and be of help when identifying patients' symptoms and determining relevant treatment strategies.
