The analysis of feelings and suggestions presented by a group of colostomy patients which use a specific method of colostomy self-irrigation showed that it's well accepted by these patients. After the positive results using this method, we obtained 88.14% of the positive feelings answers specially wellbeing, safety and normality and an average of 0.35 suggestions per client.
The present study comprises the results of the use of self-irrigation by 40 colostomized patients, trained by us through a process of systematized training. The effectiveness of the training process can be checked out considering that the most part of the patients have adopted it in its basic features, pointing out a few number of technical difficulties. As to the results of self-irrigation, as a method for controlling the intestinal habit, we can say that 37.50% of the population showed an absence of fecal leakages and 42.50%, sporadic leakages between the irrigations; 27.50% and 35.00%, with absence of gases in the intervals of time and partial use of the collecting pouch, respectively.
This study characterizes some rehabilitation's agencies which provide assistance to deficients from Grande São Paulo. Analysis of data showed: the inadequate number and geographic distribution of theses institutions; the predominance of private agencies which promote variable services; just two agencies offered nursing services; the major group of patients was childrens and adolescents of both sexes. The authors believe that it's fundamental to make a reflexion about the resources to assist the deficient patients, the quality of the assistance and the effective participation of the nurse in this process.
