“…The most important initiative for stoma acceptance, adjustment, and management of difficulties is information. 1,3,5,9 In a qualitative analysis of the difficulties ex-perienced by individuals with a stoma, Sun et al 37 found that bleeding, pain, leakage, skin problems, use of paste, stoma care time, and stoma cleaning were described most often. Stoma therapy nurses play the largest role in the management of these difficulties and strengthen patients' coping methods.…”

OBJECTIVE To use metaphor to evaluate stoma perceptions among adults with ostomies to conceptualize and portray their lived experiences using a figurative approach. METHODS A qualitative research design was used. Participants were 27 adults with an ostomy who were followed up in the stoma therapy unit. Individuals were included in the study if they had had a temporary or permanent ostomy for at least 2 months and spoke Turkish. Participants were asked to complete the sentence: “Stoma is like…/similar to… because….” The researchers used content analysis to evaluate participants’ responses. Interpretation of the metaphors developed by participants was carried out in five phases: coding, example metaphor compilation, theme development, ensuring trustworthiness, and transferring. RESULTS Participants expressed a total of 17 unique and 10 repeated metaphors for the concept of “stoma.” These metaphors were grouped under three different themes: positive (lifesaving), negative (punishment/enemy), and neutral (temporary/necessity for life). The most commonly used metaphors were life, savior, comfort, difficulty, fear, punishment, and necessity. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with an ostomy mostly had negative metaphorical associations with stomas. The authors recommend that hospitals implement multifaceted interventions to bring positive metaphors to individuals with ostomies.

“…Worldwide, stoma indications are increasing, 1,2 and thus, the number of individuals living with a stoma is also increasing. According to a study by Yılmaz et al, 3 22,557 stomas were created in Turkey between 2017 and 2019, and an average of 9,438 individuals had a stoma created annually within that 3-year period. Stoma creation leads to physical and psychosocial changes, 4 and living with a stoma requires adaptation and management 5 .…”

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of education via videoconferencing at home on individuals’ self-efficacy and adaptation to life with a stoma. METHODS A randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between November 2021 and July 2022 in an education and research hospital (face-to-face) and at the homes of individuals with a stoma (online). The study sample consisted of 60 individuals with a stoma: 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Study data were collected using the Individuals with Stoma Identification Form, Stoma Self-efficacy Scale (SSES), and Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 (OAI-23). After discharge, participants in the experimental group received educational booklets and education on stoma care in four video conference sessions. The authors analyzed the data using frequency and percentage distributions, χ 2 analyses, independent-sample t tests, Wilcoxon tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS There was a significant difference between the median pretest SSES and OAI-23 scores and the median posttest SSES and OAI-23 scores in the experimental group. At the end of the study, more individuals in the experimental group cared for their own stoma. CONCLUSIONS The education provided to individuals with a stoma significantly increased their self-efficacy and stoma adaptation scores. Hence, providing structured, continuous education on stoma care by nurses and using videoconferencing as an education method are recommended.

“…

Ostomy (or stoma) is a surgical opening made in the skin when a problem is not allowing a part of the body to function well and widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal or urinary system cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases, traumas, congenital anomalies, and mechanical bowel obstructions. 1,2 The global incidence and prevalence of ostomy surgery are not clearly known. 2,3 The estimated number of people with a ostomy was approximately 1 million in China in 2014 and 100,000 in Germany and 43,000 in Sweden in 2018, and ranges from 725,000 to 1 million in the United States of America according to recent data.

Background: It has been shown that the formation of an ostomy affects sleep quality, and sleep problems or insomnia cause fatigue in daily life, reducing the health-related quality of life. 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 an ostomy. Methods: This trial has been planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial and will use a 2×2 factor design in which an equal number of participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated to one of four groups. The study sample will comprise 120 adult patients who have undergone ostomy surgery in a city hospital in Turkey. Lavender oil inhalation together with sleep hygiene education will be applied in the first group (n=30), only sleep hygiene education in the second group (n=30), only lavender oil inhalation in the third group (n=30), and no intervention in the fourth group (n=30). The sleep quality of the groups will be evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, their fatigue levels with the chalder fatigue scale, and their quality of life with the ostomy a quality-of-life scale. Conclusions: Non-pharmacological interventions are needed to prevent sleep and/or other problems that may develop due to insomnia in adults with ostomy. By evaluating the effects of these interventions, this trial will provide valuable evidence to guide clinical practice. Trial registration: This trial was registered in October 2022 (NCT05573256).
