Nutrition Guidance for Colostomy Patients in South Bohemian Hospitals of Písek, České Budějovice and Tábor Before They Are Discharged Home.
ŠÍMOVÁ, Lucie
There are about 10 -11 thousand colostomy patients in the Czech Republic nowadays. As the number of these patients goes up a system of complex nurse treatment should be prepared. Applying a colostomy bag means a deep inroad into patients´ personal, working and social lives. A stoma nurse help the patients to overcome new problems and difficulties. She also guides them in the care of stoma itself as well as of the diet. A specific nutrition is necessary to be followed as it can improve patients´ lives a lot. The aim of this work is to find out how much colostomy patients and nurses know about nutrition and drinking regime before patients are discharged home and if nurses in South Bohemian hospitals inform the patients. There were two hypotheses stated at the beginning. H1: Colostomy patients have enough information about nutrition and drinking regime before they are discharged. H2: Nurses inform patients about nutrition and drinking regime. To collect all necessary data, the method of questioning was used. Forty patients and sixty nurses in surgical wards were asked to fill in the questionnaires. The rate of return in all hospitals mentioned above was 100%. The patient questionnaires consisted of twenty questions and the nurse questionnaires of eighteen. Both hypotheses were proved, colostomy patients are informed about nutrition principles and nurses give them further information. The findings of the work will be offered to surgical ward sisters of the hospitals where the survey was done. They could be used for presenting at professional seminars for stoma and other surgical nurses who work with colostomy patients.
