Training for medical staff : Management of ostomates

 

Accompanying the ostomy patient means adapting to his rhythm and taking into account his psychological development. Educating them is essential to facilitate their autonomy and adaptation. Putting the “right” words to bring him to take charge of his appliance requires a commitment from the caregiver. Practical and theoretical knowledge of the psychological processes at play throughout the care process is essential. Needs, values, reflection of the emotional world will be addressed.

Themes :

  • Accompany the ostomate and his or her family throughout the treatment process

  • Commitment to change through motivational interviewing

  • Psychosocial adaptation

 

Commitment to change through motivational interviewing :

Engaging and supporting the patient in change confronts the caregiver with the patient’s resistance and ambivalence. Supporting the patient and getting them to change can be learned. Knowing the different types of learners and their ability to adapt will make you more comfortable in your daily practice.
