Abstract
This study aimed to develop a guideline concerning the care directed toward an individual with an intestinal and/or urinary ostomy attending the Assistance Service for Ostomized Patients implemented at the Clinical Hospital of Uberlândia UFU, in order that such individuals be provided the means of self-care and thus improve their life quality. A bibliographical survey was performed on the theme, which focused on Guidelines Based on Evidence. The development of these guidelines was based on a bibliographical survey and took as its foundation the principles of Orem’s self-care theory and the educational practices applied to pedagogy in health according to Paulo Freire's philosophy concerning liberating education, qualification and dialogue between the subject and the professional, which grants the possibility of aiding the family and patient to modify their lifestyles and be the agents of transformation, thus favoring the development of their autonomy. The printed educational material brings new information and knowledge to the ostomized patient.

Summary
The ostomy or stoma, a word of Greek origin, which means mouth, opening is performed through surgical intervention in an attempt to compensate the functioning of an organ affected by some kind of disease, whereby the communication of this organ is reestablished with the external environment (BORGES; RIBEIRO, 2015).Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the main reason for creating a stoma in an oncological patient. Surgical intervention with the objective of creating an opening generates, in the ostomized individual and their family members, a type of invasion concerning physical, psychological and social intimacies, besides changes to their daily habits, bringing significant impacts to the lives of those that are affected by such a condition. Some impacts of this category are: lack of fecal and urinary control, the need to use a collector bag to store drained material, loss of control over the elimination of gases, alterations to ones self-image and self-esteem as well as producing biopsychosocial imbalance (CESARETTI; LEITE, 2000)
