Abstract

Stoma formation is a common procedure in colorectal surgery performed as part of treatments for malignant and inflammatory bowel disease. Life following a stoma is a constant challenge of adjusting to new challenges. During this stage of a patient's life, the healthcare provider's job broadens to include not just physical issues but also emotional and psychological changes in the patient. Identifying and intervening in these things on time may undoubtedly make life much more comfortable for patients. Policies for stoma care should be implemented at the hospital level, and staff should be trained specifically for patients with stomas and their family members, while the patient is at home, family members must understand and help psychologically and physically.
