A study of management on preoperative stoma site marking / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To cultivate specialist nurses to perform preoperative stoma site marking in patients to receive enterostomy and improve the rate of preoperative stoma site marking and the ability of preoperative stoma site marking in specialist nurses. Methods The rate of preoperative stoma site marking in 148 patients from July 2016 to October 2016 was investigated and the reason of not receiving preoperative stoma site marking was analyzed. Nineteen primary nurses were trained to perform preoperative stoma site marking instead of the traditional pattern which was performed by enterostomy therapist and physician. The training included the criteria of preoperative stoma site marking, difficult preoperative stoma site marking, demonstration, group exercises, theoretical and operational assessment. The preoperative stoma site marking of 156 patients were performed by specialist nurses from November 2016 to February 2017.Then,the rate of preoperative stoma site marking,accuracy of stoma location,and knowledge of preoperative stoma site marking were compared between the traditional and new management pattern. Results The preoperative stoma site marking rate was 91.89%(136/148)and the accuracy rate was 94.12%(127/136)in traditional management pattern.The lack of enterostomy therapist, surgery performed on weekends and emergency surgery were the reasons that preoperative stoma site marking was not performed.After changing the management pattern,the preoperative stoma site marking rate was increased to 98.72%(154/156) and there was a significant difference between them (χ2=8.06, P <0.05).The accuracy of localization was decreased to 92.86%(143/154),but there was no significant difference between them(χ2=0.03,P>0.05).The rate of acquiring preoperative stoma site marking knowledge in nurses was increased from 8/19 to 18/19 with a significant difference(χ2=12.18,P<0.01). Conclusions The pattern of preoperative stoma site marking was changed and the new pattern improved the rate of preoperative stoma site marking,and didn′t affect the accuracy of preoperative stoma site marking.Meanwhile,we also improved the nurses′level of preoperative stoma site marking in our department.
