Method: A systematic search of databases which included Cinahl, Medline (pubmed), Scopus, Psycinfo and Cochrane from September 2019 up to January 2020. Hand searching of identified literature was also undertaken. PRISMA guidelines were used to report the search, research articles included in the review were appraised for quality using Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool and data analysis was performed using Braun and Clarke (2006) framework for thematic analysis. Results: Findings from 10 studies were extracted, synthesised and analysed thematically. Three themes emerged Knowledge Deficit in relation to Ostomy Care, Confidence in providing ostomy care and roles and responsibilities in relation to ostomy care. Conclusion: Such knowledge needs to be delivered to nurses via a mechanism that is accessible and where its effectiveness can be audited. In addition to specialised training and education, nurses need support in their delivery of ostomy care, particularly where their exposure to stoma care is limited. Supports should include access to evidence-based policies and protocols on stoma care and referral to specialist services eg a CNS in stoma care. | en_US |
