Nurse perceptions of ostomy patients & their ostomy care competence.
The nursing role of caring for ostomy patients has evolved from the bedside nurse to an enterstomal therapist (ET) or a nurse clinical specialist with ostomy care experience. Routine practice calls for staff nurses and physicians to refer patients with a new ostomy or patients with stoma problems to these specialists. The responsibility for successful outcomes typically falls on these specialized nurses.
