I am looking for some good resources for patient education re: Colostomy Care. I have looked at a few of the links in a previous post and have found some info but, I was wondering if anyone had any good recs. Thanks for your help!!

A very good source of in person information and instruction is from your local chaper of the united ostomy association of america. go to their web site to find a representative and person with an ostomy will be glad to help you out.

maybe your facility can give you a budget to work with and go online to search for companies that provide supplies to families at home...they sometimes have information but you have to pay for it.

Check with the WOCN. They write the standards.

Most manufacturers including Hollister, ConvaTec and Coloplast offer kits that you can order that have a wealth of written information along with educational DVD's. These are at no cost.

My mother has a colostomy, and I was amazed at how many nurses had no idea how to take care of her. The one thing I have learned through the expieriences with my 82 year old -2 time cancer survivor mother is that as nursing students pay attention to details-- you never know when a certain situation will present itself//
