Perfil dos brasileiros com estoma de eliminação

Abstract

In Brazil there is still no information system or registry policy cases of stoma, configuring a data deficit on this population in the country. The study aimed to identify the prevalence and profile of Brazilians with stoma disposal. This is an integrative review whose search of articles published between 2000 and 2015 occurred in the databases LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE and CINAHL, in addition to the magazine estimated site through controlled descriptors. The sample consisted of 19 articles. Was identified that most Brazilian ostomy was male, married, older than 60 years, pensioners, low wage income, the stoma was permanent colostomy due to colorectal cancer. Complications in peristoma skin were the most cited. The devices when evaluated were generally inadequate. Many clinical and sociodemographic data were missing in some of the sample studies. It was not possible to identify the prevalence of people with elimination of stoma in Brazil due to the lack of publications on the subject. The review results confirm the need of managers, policy makers in Brazil, to establish mechanisms that provide registry data that will enable the preparation of future epidemiological studies.
