- Psychometric Properties of the Form Development of Self-Care Competence of the Person with a Bowel Elimination OstomyPublication . Pinto, Igor; Santos, Célia; Brito, Alice; Queirós, SílviaBackground: The use of an instrument to assess the self-care competence in patients with bowel elimination ostomy allows for the systematic identification of their specific needs, ensuring the continuity of nursing care. Although an instrument that assesses the domains that integrate this competence has been developed in Portugal, it has not yet been validated. Objectives: To assess the psychometric properties of the form Development of Self-Care Competence of the Person with a Bowel Elimination Ostomy. Methodology: Methodological study aimed at analyzing the psychometric properties of a measurement instrument, written in Portuguese. Results: The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.95 and the inter-rater reliability showed a correlation greater than or equal to 0.98. A statistically significant correlation was found in the split-half test, as well as in the clinical sensitivity analysis. Conclusion: The form presented good psychometric indicators, which suggests that it is a useful tool to be used in the nursing diagnosis process, thus contributing to the optimization of nursing care.
- Risk factors associated with the development of elimination stoma and peristomal skincomplicationsPublication . Pinto, Igor; Queirós, Sílvia; Queirós, Cármen; Silva, Carla; Santos, Célia; Brito, AliceBackground: Stoma formation leads to changes that are influenced by several factors, namely the presence of stoma and/or peristomal skin complications. It is estimated that 80% of ostomy patients have at least one stoma-related complication throughout their life. Objectives: To identify the risk factors associated with the development of elimination stoma and peristomal skin complications. Methodology: Literature review, based on the methodological strategy of the Joanna Briggs Institute for scoping reviews. A total of 1,492 articles were identified, of which 22 were included for analysis. Results: Most of the risk factors for the development of complications are non-modifiable. Pre and postoperative education, stoma site marking, and follow-up after hospital discharge are some of the nursing-sensitive factors. Conclusion: The identification of risk factors associated with the development of stoma complications allows nurses to early identify patients’ vulnerability indicators and intervene more effectively.
