Summary
Educational technology is a tool for learning purposes. When used by nurses, it involves the nurse-patient relationship, mainly in the health education process(1). Some are derived from research for the development of a set of activities produced and controlled by human beings They are used to generate and apply knowledge, to master processes and products and to transform empirical uses into scientific approaches(2). In the context of health, Educational Technologies are in the group of light technologies They are important tools for educational work and for the patient care process(3). An Educational Technology designed to guide ostomized patients is important, given that every year several people undergo surgical procedures that result in intestinal and/or urinary ostomy This procedure generates concerns, fear, doubts and insecurity about the care required for the stoma and the peristomal skin, as well as for the exchange of the collection device
