WOC nurses are best positioned to make positive impacts to the lives of the patients they care for. Unfortunately, people living with a stoma who experience leakage and peristomal skin complications have a decreased quality of life. Surgeons, WOC nurses, and home care nurses have the responsibility to be PROACTIVE in their practice and consider products designed to provide security with a pouching system to support healthy peristomal skin. This panel discussion symposium, led by a moderator, will discuss the use of soft convexity earlier in a patient’s journey with the health care team who strive to achieve positive outcomes and set their patient’s up for success from the start.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the evidence supporting the use of convexity post operatively
Dispel the myth of avoiding convexity in the post-operative period
Consider a change of practice to support positive outcomes for the patient earlier in the patient’s journey
Understand the impact the WOC nurse has on a patient’s quality of life
