For a patient, an ostomy means not only a change in their condition, but also a change in their physical appearance, function,and psyche. The treatment success in a patient with an ostomy does not depend on a single person, but on the collaborationof a whole team of doctors and nurses. An ostomy nurse’s goal is to facilitate the return to normal life by providing appropriateeducation, choosing the right ostomy supplies, and offering emotional support in close cooperation with the family.
