Colostomy, Ileostomy & Urostomy Care

At Arisa, we understand the profound impact that ostomy care can have on an individual’s life. Colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy are surgical procedures that create an opening in the body for the elimination of waste. While these procedures can significantly improve quality of life for many, they also require ongoing management and specialised care.

Our approach to nursing emphasizes a holistic and person-centred approach to ostomy care. This involves a thorough understanding of each individual’s unique needs and developing a personalized care plan. This plan addresses various aspects, including:

• Stoma assessment and management: Regularly monitoring the stoma’s appearance, output, and surrounding skin for any signs of irritation or complications.
• Ostomy appliance selection and application: Providing guidance and support in choosing the right appliance to ensure optimal comfort, security, and leak prevention.
• Skin care and hygiene: Educating participants on proper skin care techniques to prevent complications such as irritation, infection, and breakdown.
• Bowel and bladder management: Providing advice and support on dietary adjustments, fluid intake, and managing bowel or bladder function.
• Emotional support and education: Recognizing that living with an ostomy can present emotional challenges, WE strive to provide compassionate support and empower individuals to manage their condition confidently.

Our goal is to enable participants to live fulfilling and independent lives, despite the presence of an ostomy. Through individualised care, education, and ongoing support, we aim to promote well-being, enhance confidence, and equip individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their ostomy effectively.
