Özet
One of the most effective interventions that may lead to permanent changes in the life style of individuals and effect their quality of life is the opening of an intestinal stoma. Permanent stomas may remain for a lifetime The most common reason that may require an opening of an abdominal stoma is the presence of colorectal cancer. In our country, the clinical specifications of colon cancer and studies carried out in surgical centers demonstrate that the number of cases have dramatically increased. The objective in the care of stoma is to improve the quality of life of the patient and keep it at - level as possible. Appropriate nutrition may accelerate the recovery period after a colorectal and stoma surgery. The eating habits or special diets of patients with a stoma must be determined according to the type of the stoma. For this purpose, the healthcare staff plays a fundamental role to determine the nutritional strategy of these patients while the type of nutrition must be adjusted according to the life style of the stoma patient. Investigations on various databases demonstrated that there were a limited number of studies carried out related with the nutrition and food selection of patients with a stoma. Appropriate diet information can be life-saving in patients with a new stoma opening. For this purpose, we need a guideline manual which may provide miscellaneous information related with the nutrition of stoma patients and the method that may be applied to solve their nutritional problems.
