Objetivos: Estimar a prevalência de pessoas com estomia de eliminação e caracterizá-las quanto aos aspectos sociodemográficos e clínicos. Método: Estudo transversal descritivo com amostra de 27 pacientes com estomias de eliminação, residentes em uma microrregião do norte de Minas Gerais, que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Os dados coletados foram registrados em instrumento utilizado em estudos anteriores e analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética. Resultados: A prevalência de pessoas com estomia foi de 2,16/10.000, a amostra continha 55,6% de homens, 40,7% eram casados, com média de idade de 59,1 anos, 59,2,% eram alfabetizados e 74,0% tinham baixa renda; 59,3% das estomias decorreram de câncer, sendo mais frequentes os de cólon e reto, 70,4% das estomias eram definitivas e 74,0% eram colostomias. Dermatite foi a principal complicação e 68,2% dos pacientes apresentavam efluente de consistência pastosa e realizavam autocuidado. Conclusão: A prevalência de pessoas com estomia foi semelhante à de outros municípios de Minas Gerais e abaixo do esperado pelas Associações Nacional e Internacional de Ostomizados. A caracterização das pessoas, das estomias e do manejo destas contribuirá para que profissionais de saúde e gestores revisem os protocolos de assistência utilizados na microrregião estudada.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of people with elimination stoma and to characterize them for sociodemographic and clinical aspects. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample of 27 patients with elimination stomas residing in a microregion in the north of Minas Gerais, who met the inclusion criteria. The data collected were recorded in an instrument used in previous studies and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Study approved by the Ethics Committee. Results: The prevalence of people with stoma was 2.16/10.000, the sample contained 55.6% of men, 40.7% were married, mean age 59.1 years, 59.2% were literate and 74.0% had low income; 59.3% of the stomas were cancerous, more frequent colon and rectum tumours, 70.4% of the stomas were definitive, and 74.0% were colostomies. Dermatitis was the main complication and 68.2% of the patients presented effluent of pasty consistency and performed self-care. Conclusion: The prevalence of people with stoma was like that of other municipalities in Minas Gerais and below that expected by the National and International Ostomized Associations. The characterization of the people, of the stomas and the management of these, will contribute for health professionals and managers to review the assistance protocols used in the studied microregion.
