Education 1 | Cristina Arrigoni RN, MSN, Researcher 2 | Irene Baroni RN, MSN, Clinical Research Nurse 1 | Gianluca Conte RN, Clinical Research Nurse 3 | Cristina Di Pasquale RN, Stoma-therapist Nurse Specialist 4 | Lorenzo Casole RN, Clinical Nurse 1 | Giulia Villa PhD, RN, Head Nurse 5 | Abstract Aim: To develop and psychometrically test a self-efficacy scale for ostomy care nursing management.Design: This study adopted a multi-method and multi-phase design. Method: Phase 1 of the study was comprised of the developmental tasks, where items were generated based on the emergent themes from literature. The items were then discussed with a panel of experts. Phase 2 focused on the validation process of the scale, where its content validity, construct and concurrent validity, and its internal consistency were assessed. The validation process was conducted Results: The final version of the self-efficacy scale in ostomy care nursing management encompasses 24 items in three domains, namely the clinical assessment domain, the education and relationship domain, and the teamwork domain. The scale showed the evidence of face and content validity, adequate construct and concurrent validity, and adequate internal consistency. Conclusion: The developed scale can be used in clinical and educational research.Impact: This study presents the development and validation of the first valid and reliable self-reporting measurement for nurses' self-efficacy in ostomy care nursing management. Self-efficacy ostomy care nursing management encompasses 24 items and three domains, which are clinical assessment, education and relationship, and teamwork. This research will have an impact on nursing education, as it addresses the need for a specific self-efficacy assessment of ostomy care nursing management. Self-efficacy ostomy care nursing management will have an impact on nurses and patients, as it can be used to improve nurses' self-efficacy and clinical outcomes for patients in ostomy care.

A structural equation model linking health literacy, self efficacy and quality of life in adults with coronary heart disease

“…The mixed findings showed that the relationship among HL, SE and QOL might be complicated and require further clarification. SE refers to an individual's confidence in one's ability to complete tasks [16]. Paasche-Orlow and Wolf proposed the framework of HL and health outcomes, and hypothesized that SE might link HL and QOL [17].…”

What is the Experience of Parents During the Home Care Management of Children With Congenital Heart Disease, Following Cardiac Surgery? Findings From a Metasynthesis

“…The need for support means demand for complete information about the home care management, access to the local hospital at any time, by receiving support and help from care centers, having contact with specialized nurses and peer support. In this process, the organizational context (Dellafiore et al, 2019; Dellafiore et al, 2019; Rosa et al, 2019) and health care professionals’ competencies (Dellafiore et al, 2020; Dellafiore et al, 2019) and relational dynamics (Caruso et al, 2018; Dellafiore et al, 2019) are extremely important. However, the cardio-surgery setting is unique (Albanesi et al, 2020) and more studies and evaluations should be carried out to provide tailored health assistance able to focus on the real needs of the patients, especially when patients affected by CHD belong to pediatric population.…”

Algorithm for Indication of Collector Equipment for Stomas

“…Care for the person with a stoma involves several factors, and care management is fundamental for the rehabilitation process and also concerns the maintenance of the integrity of the peristomal skin through the evaluation of the person with a stoma and the indication of the appropriate collection equipment for individual needs 1 . Considering the importance of the peristomal skin, it is essential to establish a secure and durable seal of protection between the skin and the adhesive base of the equipment.…”

“…Competence and skill in managing this specialized care is a challenge for health professionals, who seek to provide the best clinical results. Educational interventions are also essential and extremely effective in controlling peristomal skin complications, contribute to reducing the length of hospital stays and encourage self-care 1 .…”
