“…Te number of patients living with an ostomy in the US has been 750,000-1 million, with approximately 100,000 ostomy surgeries per year [3]. Among 30,000 patients with permanent ostomies in Iran, 70% have colostomy, 20% have ileostomy, and 10% have urostomy, of whom about 10% have temporary and the rest have permanent ostomies [4]. According to some reports, up to 70% of the patients experience postostomy complications, including skin irritation (76%), pouch leakage (62%), ofensive odor (59%), reduction in pleasurable activity (54%), and depression/anxiety (53%).…”

Patients living with a permanent ostomy encounter many physical, psychological, and social challenges due to the loss of function of a part of their body. Today, as the use of alternative therapies increases, some of these patients are seeking complementary medicine to relieve the symptoms and complications of their disease. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the use of, reasons for, and satisfaction with the complementary medicine among patients living with a permanent ostomy. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients living with a permanent ostomy who were referred to ostomy clinics in southeastern Iran. The census method was used for sampling. The research tool included a complementary medicine questionnaire. SPSS-25 was used for data analysis. The results showed that in physical methods, most of the participants used herbal medicines (83%), aromatherapy (79%), vitamin supplements (76%), and diet (66%). In mental methods, most of the participants used prayer/recourse/vow (91%) and music therapy (75%) (every day to several times a year). People with university education ( p < 0.001 ), higher incomes ( p = 0.002 ), and history of addiction ( p = 0.048 ) used more methods of complementary medicine. Fifty-three point four of the participants used herbal medicines to reduce physical complications, 46.6% used them to improve anxiety and stress induced by ostomy, and between 66 and 80% was completely satisfied with the use of various types of complementary medicine. The study results showed that the frequency of complementary medicine use among patients living with a permanent ostomy varied from a few days to several years. Considering the use of complementary medicine by these patients, educational programs, and interventions are necessary to increase the general awareness of ostomy patients about the types of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the effects of these methods.

IntroductionThe aim was to determine the effect of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) care training given to hemodialysis (HD) patients on the self‐care behaviors of patients.MethodsThe randomized controlled experimental study was conducted in the HD unit. The study was carried out with a total of 66 patients. Patients in the intervention group were trained using the AVF Care Education Book for 4 weeks. The study data were collected using the scale for evaluating self‐care behaviors related to AVF in HD patients (ASBHD‐AVF). Shapiro–Wilk and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests, independent t‐tests, and ANOVA were used in the SPSS 25.0 package program.ResultsAs a result of the research, it was determined that the average ASBHD‐AVF score of the patients in the trained intervention group increased from 54.52 ± 7.41 to 73.77 ± 3.05 (p <0.05). The mean ASBHD‐AVF score of the patients in the control group increased from 56.14 ± 4.51 to 58.14 ± 5.93 (p >0.05). When the difference between the two groups was examined, it was determined that the average ASBHD‐AVF score of the patients in the intervention group was statistically significantly higher than the control group (p <0.05).ConclusionAVF care education given to HD patients improves patients' self‐care behaviors. Improved fistula self‐care behaviors of patients will contribute to the healthy functioning of the AVF and the effective HD treatment of patients.
