Abstract

Introduction: by urinary diversion comprises a surgical procedure in which a place is created that allows the output of urine through a new body path, called urinary ostomy, also known as ostomy. This corrective intervention for diseases of the urinary system, bladder cancer being the most common. People with a urinary ostomy require specialized professional assistance, as they may experience complications related to the procedure. The role of nurses is essential in monitoring these patients, so they need to be trained to serve this public. Objective: to map the scientific production on nursing care for adults and elderly people with a urinary ostomy at different levels of health care. Method: this is a scope review. The descriptors chosen for the search were selected through the database “Descriptors in Health Sciences” and “Medical Subject Head Medical Subject Headings”, namely: “urinary stoma” and “nursing care”. The search took place in the following databases: VHL and Medline via Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scorpus, Web of Science and Embase, and was carried out in January 2023. Primary, descriptive studies, reviews and manuals published in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Exclusion criteria were articles that were repeated in more than one data source, not freely available, and that did not address the research question. Results: 580 articles were found, of which, after the selection steps, 15 were chosen because they met the inclusion criteria. The results made it possible to identify the lack of updated data on the number of people with a urinary ostomy in Brazil. Most studies were international and few studies were available in full. Conclusion: scientific production on the subject is freely available and limited. The findings indicate the need to instigate and support nurses who work in these services to produce scientific research on the assistance provided and to publish them in journals in order to provide access to a greater number of professionals, thus contributing to the qualification of the nursing care.
