Specific eating habits of a stoma clients
OSADČÍ, Jana
This work focuses on eating habits of patiens with colostomy and ileostomy and their personal experience with observing the given nourishing rules. The number of such patients has been growing in the Czech Republic in the last time. Introduction of colostomy or ileostomy is a very difficult situation for every patient. When adapting to the new situation the patient needs all possible professional care. Many changes enter his life and one of them is the change in eating habits. There is no universal diet at present that could go for all such patients. In spite of the fact that correct nourishment and drinking regime are the most important for them. That is why we were interested in the patients experience in the area of nourishment. This work had two targets. The first one concentrated on the specific eating habits of the patients after colostomy and the other one the specific eating habits of the patients after ileostomy. There were two hypotheses connected with the targets. The first hypothesis tried to find out, whether the patients with colostomy have their specific eating habits. The other hypothesis tried the same for the patients with ileostomy. To be able to achieve the targets a quantitative research has been applied, implemented by means of an anonymous questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 27 questions. The data were collected in March 2009. 100 questionnaires were distributed, 80 percent of them were returned. This work has confirmed the fact that there is no universal diet that could be applied for all the patients. The nourishment must adapt to the individual requirements, because different people react in a different way to individual food and they must try out, what suits them. In this way they themselves find out the best eating habits with the course of time, they will not feel restricted and they will stop being afraid of the negative effects of food.
