Summary

Introduction

Elimination stoma is the name given to an opening created artificially in the abdomen, by surgical procedure, to communicate the internal environment of the intestinal or urinary tract with the external environment, where the elimination of feces and urine occurs. The intestinal stoma can be classified into two types, according to the affected site, subdivided into ileostomy and colostomy[1]. The main causes that lead to the making of a stoma are those of neoplastic origin, which compromise the colon and rectum (colorectal cancer). Other causes, such as inflammatory intestinal diseases and abdominal trauma, can cause the making of a stoma[3]. Living with this condition causes several changes in the life of a person and their family members, which have an impact on physical, psychological and social aspects. The acquisition of a stoma demands new skills for self-care, knowledge about body changes and a new health perspective, as well as coping strategies for a better adaptive process[4]
