Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Adaptation to life with a stoma depends to a large extent on the health of the peristomal skin. This area of skin can become damaged in various ways, and the resulting discomfort or pain can make the use of a stoma appliance difficult. Problems such as these can be one of the major factors facing a community nurse in her/his care of the stoma patient. If the community nurse is able to recognize and correct these problems, this will enable the patient to carry on with a normal and productive life. Failure to correct stoma-related problems can have significant negative effects on patients' psychosocial well-being. This article discusses the causes and management of the commonest stoma-related skin problems. |
