Abstract
This study aimed to develop and validate a community-based ostomy care training program for nursing staff, with the goal of enhancing their ostomy nursing competencies and improving patient satisfaction. Between March 2021 and October 2021, 20 registered nurses and 50 patients with enterostomy surgery who took part in the promotion of a new nursing technique in five community health service centers in the Wuxing District, Huzhou City, were enrolled in this study (forming the intervention group). In addition, 15 registered nurses and 40 patients with enterostomy surgery from four community health service centers with similar economic and health conditions in the same area were randomly selected as the control group. All community health service centers were independent institutions. The indexes before and after the promotion of the technique were compared, and the effectiveness of the training was evaluated by observing the improvement in nursing skills and changes in patient quality of life after the training. The "quality-of-life scale" was used to analyze the quality of life of patients who had undergone colostomy surgery. The new approach to ostomy care delivered in a community setting was found to improve staff knowledge and skill in ostomy care (p < 0.001), improve the quality-of-life scores of patients and reduce patient travel time and medical expenses. The promotion of ostomy nursing techniques in community health service centers has several benefits. It improves the ostomy nursing skill levels of community medical staff. This reduces the occurrence of ostomy complications. Additionally, it establishes an effective connection between tertiary hospitals and community health service centers. This connection is conducive to better nursing care for patients who have undergone ostomy surgery. The hospital - community - family nursing model can improve self-management abilities and reduce the incidence of complications of enterostomies.
