Overview

This book provides a comprehensive description of stoma care management and the physical and psychological care of the patient in the immediate and long-term. It will appeal to readers throughout the range of stoma care expertise, from novice to expert: the breadth and depth of the material should meet the needs of specialist and gemeralist nurses in hospitals and the community. A patient-centred style of nursing is described: how nurses' knowledge and skills can be specifically used to promote patients' long term rehabilitation as well as addressing their immediate needs. It also shows how research findings, models and concepts from nursing and non-nursing disciplines can be used to understand patients' experiences and needs and thus enhance care planning and provision.

'This is so much more than a book about stoma care - although if that is all you want, it would be hard to find a better one. I would characterise it more as a book about a philosophy of nursing - patient-centred rehabilitation - that uses the example of stoma care to illustrate its practical application. For this reason, I reccommend it to all nurses, whatever their specialty'<br>Stella Backhouse, Staff Nurse, University Hospital, Coventry.
