Ostomy Care Workshop for Health Care Aides

Health Care Aides (HCA’s) are the primary caregivers in a variety of different health care settings. Their role continues to evolve and could include assisting with ostomy care. This workshop will assist the caregiver to provide optimal care for the client with a stoma.

  • Review of normal GI and GU systems and reasons for an altered anatomy
  • Client’s perspective on body image and psychosocial aspects related to the altered anatomy
