Background: There is a need to understand the clinical decision-making and work practices within ostomy nursing care to support expanding nursing training.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a new metric-based simulation for assessing ostomy nursing care using a human factors approach.

Sample: This pilot study involved eleven stakeholders in the needs assessment, six nurse participants performing simulated ostomy care, and three independent observers assessing procedure reliability.

Method: We conducted a needs assessment of ostomy nursing care and training, developed an enhanced metric-based simulation for ostomy appliance change procedures, and statistically evaluated its reliability for measuring the simulated tasks.

Results: The enhanced metric-based simulation captured different tasks within four task categories: product selection; stoma and peristomal skin care; baseplate sizing and adhesion; and infection control strategies. The video review procedure was reliable for assessing continuous (average ICC≥0.96) and categorical (average κ>0.96) variables.

Conclusion: The new metric-based simulation was suitable for characterizing a broad range of clinical decision-making and work practices in ostomy nursing care.

Aim: To examine the factors affecting the ability of ostomates to perform activities of daily living and manage ostomy self-care.

Design: Mix method design.

Method: This study was undertaken through survey (descriptive and clinical characteristics form and Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL)) for collecting the quantitative data (n = 60) and semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients unable to perform ostomy self-care for collecting qualitative data (n = 12) between January 2023 and December 2023.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for peristomal skin complications (PSCs) in patients with colorectal cancer and an ostomy, construct a prediction model, and verify its effectiveness.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, researchers recruited 265 patients with an ostomy at the stoma clinic of a tertiary hospital, from May 2022 to August 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: complications group (n = 81) and no complications group (n = 184).

January 2025

The Cheryl Spencer Department of Nursing, Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.

Background: Patient self-care is established as improving outcomes, yet acute care in hospitals is provided such that patients tend to be passive recipients of care. Little is known about the extent and type of patient participation in treatment care tasks in acute hospital settings.

Aims: To map and synthesise available literature on self-performance of care tasks in acute hospital settings.

Purpose: The relationship between high-output stoma (HOS) and low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) was previously unclear. This study investigated the association between HOS and major LARS in rectal cancer patients with preventive stoma.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 653 rectal cancer patients who underwent prophylactic ileostomy reversal after low anterior resection at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between 2018 and 2021.

Stoma surgery is frequently used to treat conditions such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory diseases. While it can extend patients' lives, it often introduces challenges that negatively affect quality of life. Convex skin barriers are commonly recommended for managing flat or retracted stomas and addressing irregular peristomal surfaces, such as creases or folds.
