Epidemiological characterization of patients with intestinal stomas

Objective: To characterize the sociodemographic and clinical variables of people with intestinal stomas. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 47 patients of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center (CER II/APAE) in the municipality of Três Lagoas, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwestern Brazil, from December 2019 to June 2020. Data was analyzed using inferential descriptive statistics (Anderson-Darling, Chi-squared, and Mann-Whitney normality tests). Results: Regarding the patients, 87.23% were from Três Lagoas, 51.06% were female, 40.43% were aged from 60 to 69 years, 59.57% were married, 53.19% were brown, 59.57% were catholic, 36.17% finished elementary school, 46.81% were retired, and 57.45% earned a monthly income below 1 minimum wage. Moreover, 61.70% had undergone terminal colostomy (61.70%), 61.70% had received guidance about its placing, 57.45% had it placed due to situations of urgency, 74.47% had a stoma installed due to a neoplasia, 38.30% were permanent, with 46.81% located in the inferior left quadrant (ILQ), 59.57% presented pasty effluent, 63.83% had a circular diameter, 53.19% had pouches with 2 pieces and 57.45%, with a flexible base, 87.23% had other adjunct equipment, and 95.74% had been trained in self-care. The most common complication was skin/peristomal irritant contact dermatitis (59,57%), and 65,95% of these cases were solved by teaching self-care. The type of stoma was significantly associated with the consistency of the effluent and the size of the protrusion (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results found can support strategies to implement practices to promote health, develop new public policies, to provide training in self-care, and prevent and treat complications.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar Comissões de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar quanto aos indicadores de estrutura e processo dos Programas de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar. Método Estudo transversal e descritivo, realizado com Comissões de hospitais registrados no Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde. A coleta de dados primários e secundários foi realizada por meio de entrevista estruturada, utilizando-se de instrumentos validados e verificação de documentos, respectivamente. Resultados Participaram da pesquisa 14 Comissões. Evidenciaram-se médias de conformidade de 80,58% para o indicador de avaliação da estrutura técnico-operacional, 60,77% para o indicador das diretrizes operacionais de prevenção e controle de infecção, 81,59% para o indicador de avaliação do sistema de vigilância epidemiológica e 63,44% para o indicador de avaliação das atividades de controle e prevenção de infecção hospitalar. Conclusão Entre os quatro instrumentos aplicados para a avaliação dos Programas de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar, apenas dois deles apresentaram resultado superior a 80,0% de conformidade, os relativos às avaliações da estrutura técnico-operacional e à vigilância epidemiológica.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess hospital infection control committees in relation to structure and process indicators of hospital infection control programs. Method Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted with hospital committees registered in the National Registry of Healthcare Facilities. Primary and secondary data collection was conducted through structured interview using validated instruments and verification of documents, respectively. Results Fourteen committees participated in the research. Mean values of conformity of 80.58% were evidenced for the technical-operational structure assessment indicator, 60.77% for the infection control and prevention operational guidelines indicator, 81.59% for the epidemiological surveillance system assessment indicator, and 63.44% for hospital infection control and prevention activities assessment indicator. Conclusion Among the four instruments applied to assess hospital infection control programs, only two presented results with more than 80.0% of conformity: those related to the epidemiological surveillance and technical-operational structure assessments.
