Abstract: Self‐care is a key concept for ostomy patients as much as for chronically ill patients.

“…Patients with a permanent ostomy can live with it even for several years (Krouse et al., 2016) if we consider the ostomies as the result of colorectal (Sun et al., 2013) or bladder cancer (Jensen, Kiesbye, Soendergaard, Jensen, & Kristensen, 2017), which have a 5‐year survival rate of between 40% and 65% (Liu et al., 2016; Siegel et al, 2017). Therefore, an ostomy can lead to complex and lifelong consequences for patients (Villa, Mannarini, et al, 2019; Wen et al., 2019).…”
