Peristomal moisture–associated skin damage, also known as peristomal irritating dermatitis, is the most common complication after an ostomy. Its occurrence causes the pouching system to leak repeatedly, resulting in a vicious circle of irritating dermatitis, which leads to serious skin damage, pain, and infection. These changes have a severely negative on the body, mind, and life of patients. The occurrence of this complication is closely related to factors such as patient attributes, stoma, and pouching system. Therefore, the management and tracking of stoma patients as well as the use of an appropriate pouching system to prevent leakage are the key factors for avoiding skin damage. Hence, nurses should have knowledge and skills for the management of stomas and peristomal skin and the ability to teach patients to perform correct ostomy care, prevent the occurrence of related skin damage, and maintain their quality of life. In this paper, we review the mechanism of occurrence and related factors of peristomal moisture–associated skin damage and suggest measures for prevention and care. We hope to provide nurses with useful concepts related prevention and treatment that can be introduced into a clinical application to reduce the occurrence of skin damage in patients with stomas. |
