Explore the psychological impacts of living life with an ostomy
Having an ostomy impacts a patient both physically and psychologically. Patients have to face the challenge of acquiring the necessary skills to live with the altered body and experience an emotional transition.
The possible negative psychological outcomes and emotional issues arising from having an ostomy make it essential to provide education and guidance material specifically addressing psychological impact.
We have provided a range of educational material to help support your learning, both webinar based and whitepaper. We hope you find the information useful in supporting your patients through this transitional period and beyond.
