Abstract

The objective in this study was to investigate the
profile of urostomized patients registered in the Association
of Ostomates of Rio Grande do Norte. A descriptive and
retrospective study was developed between October 2013
and February 2014, through information collected from the
registration forms of 53 urostomized patients. The highest
concentration of urostomized patients is located in the
Eastern coastal region of the state (60.4%), over 59 years
of age (73.6%), mulatto (50.9%), male (54.7%), married
(52.9%), who finished primary education (35.9%), gain one
minimum wage (56.6%) and were diagnosed with bladder
tumor (47.2%). The results provide specific information on
the urostomized patients. Through the analysis of social
and demographic data and information about the living
conditions, this population’s problems can be listed in
order of priority, contributing to health promotion and
optimizing time and financial resources.
