Brief Summary

Establish a uniform care network for stoma patients in Shaanxi Province and evaluate its effectiveness, so that stoma patients can get the same quality of stoma care outside the hospital.

Detailed Description

This project plans to take the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University as the lead hospital to establish a uniform care network for stoma patients in Shaanxi Province. This network includes the management system of stoma nursing and the management organization of stoma patients in Shaanxi Province. It formulates the whole quality standard of stoma nursing in Shaanxi Province, carries out "standard training" for the stoma specialty nurses in the group, and carries out on-site inspection in various hospitals from time to time, establishes the feedback mechanism and standardizes the stoma nursing process. The contact card of stoma therapists was made and distributed to patients with stoma, so that patients can easily get the information of stoma therapists in the nearest hospital and receive professional and convenient care. WeChat group of specialized stoma nurses was established to provide remote guidance for difficult cases, share new stoma ideas and knowledge, and facilitate communication among stoma nurses in the group. The leading hospital holds training courses on knowledge and progress of stomatology every year, competitions on knowledge and skills, and dispatches therapists to provide work guidance, so as to share new knowledge, skills and scientific research abilities. At the same time, the efficacy of the network was evaluated by investigating the complication rate, self-care ability, quality of life, medical costs of stoma patients,as well as the specialized nursing skills and professional development of nurses.
