“…Table 4 presents the health deviation requisites, which had "choice of collection equipment and supplies" as the most frequent category, and the requisite "use hydrocolloid powder to absorb moisture in cases of dermatitis". In this category, the least frequent requisites were "change the collection equipment in case of allergic dermatitis" (8; 9.2% [17,21,25,46,58,58,67,71,77]), "use barrier products and rings in the presence of granulomas" (6; 6.9% [25,43,58,69,71,88]), and "use Aloe vera may help in the management of peristomal complications" (1; 1.1% [30]).…”

Self-care is one of the main factors altered in the life of a person with an ostomy. Self-care requisites with nursing support are necessary. Objectives: To map the self-care requisites for people with intestinal ostomies in their adaptive process, guided by Orem’s theory. Materials and methodology: A scoping review was conducted between May and June 2022, in which studies published from 2000 to 2022 were selected, based on Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory. The sources of evidence used were Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cinahl, Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Nursing database, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal, Theses Canada, DART-Europe E-Theses Portal, and National ETD Portal. Studies presenting at least one requisite of self-care for people with intestinal ostomies, whether or not they addressed Orem’s theory, and that were published in full were included. We followed the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA International Guide, registered in the Open Science Framework (10.17605/OSF.IO/XRH5K). The following descriptors and search strategies were used: (ostomy OR colostomy OR ileostomy OR stoma) AND (self-care OR self-management) AND (adaptation OR adjustment). Results: The final sample was composed of 87 studies. In universal requisites, studies in the category “nutritional aspects” predominated, of which the most frequent was “eat regularly and follow a balanced diet” (23; 26.4%); in developmental requisites, the prevalent category was “stoma and peristomal skin care” and requisite “assess peristomal skin integrity” (27; 31.0%); in the health deviation requisites, the predominant category was “choice of collection equipment and adjuvant products” and the requisite “use hydrocolloid powder to absorb moisture in cases of dermatitis” (13; 14.9%). Conclusions: The study contributes to guiding the assistance to the person with an ostomy, improving the self-care learning process. However, new intervention studies are still needed.

The aim of the formation of a stoma is to improve health and quality of life for patients with intestinal or urinary tract disorders. However, complications can occur; in particular, leakage of faecal matter or urine can cause skin damage, resulting in pain and irritation, and reducing the ability of the stoma pouch to adhere to the skin (thus worsening the risk of leakage). Several methods are available to improve contact between skin and pouch to reduce leakage, such as adhesives, paste, seals, washers, tape and belts. Most recently, Dermacol® has been launched; this is a unique collar that fits over the stoma to prevent output coming into contact with skin. It can be used with different stoma sizes and shapes, it is soft, pliable and comfortable, and it gives patients confidence because it effectively reduces leakage, thus protecting the skin and preventing irritation and pain.
