The association that groups these patients teaches the students of the Nursing Degree of UCAM Cartagena the characteristics of the bag that they have to carry and the recommendations in the treatment and in the way of facing life after this surgery.
The students of the Degree in Nursing of the Catholic University of San Antonio have been able to make an approach from the point of view of the patient to the ostomy (a surgical solution that involves an opening to the outside of an organ of the digestive, urinary or respiratory system) thanks to the talk given by members of the Association of Ostomized of Cartagena in the Campus of Los Dolores.
Coinciding with this activity, with which the third Patient Support Socio-Health Resources Meetings organized by UCAM Cartagena, the vice president of the Ostomized Association of Cartagena, Juan Palomo Sevilla, has opened, explained that "the nurses are very professional, but They could improve knowing the disease in all areas, in the health centers, in the emergency room, in all the plants, because we have a serious problem when we go to the emergency room, that most cannot treat them because they do not know what the ostomy and treatment are that carries".
For this reason, during this event the causes that lead to an ostomy have been made known, the implications of carrying a bag for urine or feces and the importance of playing sports even to strengthen the abdominal wall, in order to that future nurses not only improve their treatment with these patients, but also can transmit that knowledge to other colleagues.
Precisely, UCAM offers its own Master's Degree in Advanced Practice Nursing in Care for People with Ostomies with its chair with the Index Foundation, of health care research.
