"The objective of this study is to reduce the occurrence of peristomal irritant dermatitis. Most of the patients who sought treatment at the hospital unit that conducted this study were diagnosed with rectal cancer and received a permanent colostomy after sugery. According to patient data obtained through follow-up visits, the occurrence of peristomal irritant dermatitis was 1.46 times higher than those of patients that underwent follow-ups during the same period of the previous year. This motivated the authors to reduce the occurrence of peristomal irritant dermatitis resulting from several different factors including:(1)Healthcare systemrelated issues, such as a failure to include stoma siting in routine practice;(2) Patient/primary caregiver-related issues, such as inexperience over the procedures for the use of a colostomy bag,inexperience in changing the colostomy bag,inability to cut and adhere the base plate of the colostomy bag,a fear of interacting with others due to the odor of the stoma discharge, and peristomal dermatitis ignorance; (3) Healthcare worker-related issues, such as failure to cover peristomal skin damage when providing patient education, inconsistencies during stoma dermatitis assessments, and failure to provide pre-operative nursing care instructions.Several measures were proposed to overcome these issues: (1) Devise a shared nursing care procedure for the colostomy care team; (2) Plan structured care bundles for peristomal dermatitis; (3) Organizing multidisciplinary team training programs and revising group patient education procedures; (4) Produce patient education videos; (5) Provide pre-operative patient education and generating QR codes for in-home colostomy care; (6) Scheduling pre-operation visits to fellow patients with permanent colostomies. The main results of this study showed that following the implementation of these measures, the occurrence of peristomal irritant dermatitis dropped from 60% to 32%. Conclusion: Nursing care measures formulated based on evidence-based literature, alongside multidisciplinary team communication, medical team support, and cooperation from all healthcare workers, effectively reduced the occurrence of peristomal irritant dermatitis." |
