Abstract

Objectives: to understand the daily practice of those professionals who are ostomy experts in Spain. To explore the uses and attitudes of the ostomy patients and their quality of life (QoL).
Method: a national retrospective study (U&A on Ostomy), with 148 participants who collected clinical data about ostomy patients. The study was open for the use of any marketed device. Professionals collected demographical data, characteristics of ostomy and device, the DET score for evaluating the peristomal skin (0-15), the mood of the patient (0-10), the Stoma-QoL scale (0-100), and changes of habits. There was also an assessment of the most highly valued characteristics of the device, care received and improvement suggestions by patients.
Results: the study included 871 patients (64% male, 36% female; 57.5% with colostomy, 28.6% with ileostomy and 13.9% with urostomy; 68.5% were permanent and 31.5% temporary; 75% for neoplasia, 13.2% for inflammatory bowel disease, and 11.8% with undetermined causes). Pre-surgical markings were conducted and observed in 55.35% of cases. The mean DET score was 1.7±2.7 (range 0-13), overall satisfaction with the device was of 8.1±1.3 (range 1-10), and the Stoma-QoL score was 57.8±10.3 (range 11.5-100).The use of Coloplast devices was associated with a lower frequency of leaks (p< 0.036). Overall, 89% of patients attended regularly their appointments with the Ostomy Nurse, and their score for the care received was 9.4 (0-10).
Conclusions: U&A in Ostomy is the first large-scale study evaluating the clinical reality of the ostomy patient in Spain. It describes the uses and patients attitudes towards their condition. The importance of pre-surgical marking was confirmed, as well as its impact on QoL.
