Resumen

MORENO-SANTAMARIA, Manuela et al. Assessment of the importance of ostomy patients' understanding of dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.3, pp.610-614.  Epub 17-Oct-2022. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03906.

Objective:

the objective of our study was to evaluate the level of understanding of ostomy patients regarding lifestyle, diet, and high output stoma (HOS) management recommendations provided by healthcare professionals.

Method:

a prospective study to follow up ostomy patients at nutritional consultations was designed. The follow-up process was performed 7-10 days after hospital discharge and again one month later. At the first visit, patients were instructed in the detection and management of HOS. At the second visit, the level of understanding of the training received was assessed using an evaluation questionnaire. A descriptive analysis of the answers to each of the questionnaire's items was performed. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate differences in the level of understanding recorded with the questionnaire.

Results:

a total of 35 patients were recruited; 71.4 % did not provide correct answers to all the questions. There were no significant differences in the correctness of the answers to the questionnaire according to education level.

Conclusions:

many patients do not adequately understand the information provided by healthcare professionals and this could have a negative impact on the incidence of clinical complications.
