Objective: to understanding the perception of ostomized patients affected by colorectal neoplasms regarding their quality of life. Methods: qualitative research, with 15 patients in outpatient treatment. Data collected through semi-structured interviews. To organize and present data, the content analysis technique was used. Data were interpreted according to the social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. Results: three thematic categories emerged: Quality of life: social, psychic, and spiritual influences; Personal and environmental adaptations considering the new reality; and Complications of living with an ostomy. Conclusion: patients with ostomies resulting from colorectal cancer, in general, have variations in the way they perceive their quality of life. In the physical domain, they consider the device to be vital in the treatment, but it generated, a priori, social isolation, due to embarrassment, requiring them to adapt to the new reality as to diminish its emotional impact, which frequently presents in the form of sadness and non-acceptance.
Objectives: To develop and validate a folder on diabetic foot prevention aimed at patients and their families. Method: Methodological study carried out in two stages. The first one was bibliographic review for the construction of the folder through the search of articles and manuals on the diagnosis, problems faced, self-care, prevention and the main interventions of the diabetic foot in the database at the National Library of Medicine. The second stage was related to the validation process, with the participation of 23 stomatherapist nurses. The content validity index (CVI) was used to assess the validity of the folder and Kappa as an indicator of agreement. Results: The technology’s global CVI in the first evaluation showed an overall CVI = 0.91, and an overall Kappa index = 0.81. After reformulating the material based on the judges’ suggestions, a second validation cycle indicated CVI = 0.99 and Kappa CVI = 0.98. Conclusion: The proposed technology was considered validated by specialists in terms of objectives, content, relevance, figures, writing style and content, presenting high scores in the CVI and Kappa index, suggesting that the material can be used to work on the prevention of diabetic foot with the patients and their families.
Objetivos:Desenvolver e validar um fôlder sobre prevenção do pé diabético direcionado a pacientes e seus familiares. Método: Estudo metodológico realizado em duas etapas. A primeira envolveu revisão bibliográfica para a construção do fôlder por meio de busca de artigos e manuais sobre diagnóstico, problemas enfrentados, autocuidado, prevenção e as principais intervenções do pé diabético na base de dados da Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos Estados Unidos. A segunda etapa foi referente ao processo de validação, com participação de 23 enfermeiros estomaterapeutas. Utilizaram-se o índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC) para avaliar a validade do fôlder e o de Kappa como indicador de concordância. Resultados: O IVC global da tecnologia na primeira avaliação apontou IVC geral = 0,91 e índice de Kappa geral = 0,81. Após reformulação do material mediante sugestões dos juízes, um segundo ciclo de validação apontou IVC = 0,99 e Kappa = 0,98. Conclusão: A tecnologia proposta foi considerada validada por especialistas quanto aos objetivos, ao conteúdo, à relevância, às figuras, à forma de escrita e de conteúdo, apresentando altas pontuações no IVC e índice Kappa, sugerindo que o material pode ser utilizado para trabalhar prevenção do pé diabético com pacientes e seus familiares
