Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of interventions provided by Enterostomal Therapist (ET) Nurses to visitors of ostomates. Methods: ET Nurses carried out intervention methods of selection, training, organization of visiting group during enterostomy visiting works, this study summarized and analyzed the influence of various intervention methods on the growth of enterostomy visitor numbers and the work of ostomate visits. Results: The intervention program of ostomate visitors adopted by our hospital could effectively promote the growth of ostomate visitor numbers, facilitate the smooth progress of enterostomy visits, lighten the psychological burden of patients and their families in clinical application. Conclusion: The ostomate visits’ intervention program constructed by ET nurses in our hospital was scientific and feasible. Through strict screening, scientific training, reasonable scheduling, continuous exchange and learning and hospital support, we have created an excellent team which provides high-quality visiting service for patients with enterostomy during perioperative period.
