Abstract
This study aimed to analyse the impact of enterostomal therapist-led visual health education combined with peer education on the postoperative self-nursing ability, quality of life and peristomial complications in patients with a permanent colostomy. Patients with a permanent colostomy admitted to Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between March 2021 and March 2023 were selected and divided into the study group (60 patients) and the control group (60 patients). Enterostomal therapist-led visual health education combined with peer education was adopted in the study group, and regular education was adopted in the control group. The clinical effects between the two groups were compared. Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that the two educational methods had different effects on the quality of life (Ftreatment = 342.734, p < 0.001), self-nursing ability (Ftreatment = 256.321, p < 0.001), adaptability (Ftreatment = 321.734, p < 0.001) of patients with a permanent colostomy. After the 3-month intervention, the differences in all aspects of the quality of life, self-nursing ability and adaptability between the two groups were statistically significant, and the score of the study group was higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the study group had a lower incidence of the five complications (p < 0.05) and higher nursing satisfaction (Z = -2.968, p < 0.05). Enterostomal therapist-led visual health education combined with peer education can improve the quality of life of patients with a permanent colostomy, improve their positive mood, reduce their negative mood, improve their adaptability to the stoma, reduce complications and improve their daily living conditions. In the future, the clinical application of visual health education and peer education in patients with permanent colostomy should be increased.
