ABSTRACT
There are many benefits of standardised care but often this is not possible due to variations in the availability of healthcare resources in the UK. Within stoma care, there is evidence to guide care but with limited standardisation, particularly for community nurses. Stoma care is provided inconsistently, possibly due to variations in training and experience of the nurse. It is known that patients have greater needs in the first few months after stoma formation and this need for support is compounded if there are stoma complications. Community nurses can provide practical support and information, as well as psychological support and encouragement to help people become independent with stoma care and adapt to life with a stoma.
