Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the knowledge and practices of ostomy care nurses related to the United Kingdom\'s Association of Stoma Care Nurses (ASCN) 2016 guidelines for prevention and management of parastomal hernia (PSH) in adults.
METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study.
METHODS: The target population was approximately 300 stoma care nurses; 120 useable responses to the survey were received, reflecting a response rate of approximately 40%.
METHODS: A 31-item questionnaire was developed for the purposes of this study, consisting of multiple choice and short answer questions grouped into 2 sections; demographics, and knowledge and practices. The questionnaire was distributed to members of the ASCN who work with adults via an online survey platform with the aim of reaching as many respondents as possible. The Chi-square test was used to determine relationships between the nominal demographic data and the nominal knowledge and practices data.
RESULTS: Almost two-thirds of respondents (65%, n = 78) rated their knowledge relating to prevention and management of PSH as good or excellent. Nevertheless, 79.8% (n = 95) indicated they needed additional education to improve their knowledge and practice related to prevention of PSH. Those who rated their knowledge as excellent or good were significantly more likely to be aware of the guidelines compared to those who ranked their knowledge as average or poor.
CONCLUSIONS: Study findings suggest variability in knowledge among UK stoma care nurses, along with a desire for additional education in this area of care.

摘要：
目的：本研究的目的是描述造口护理护士与英国造口护理护士协会（ASCN）2016年成人造口旁疝（PSH）预防和管理指南相关的知识和实践。
方法：横断面描述性研究。
方法：目标人群约为300名造口护理护士；收到了120份可用的调查回复，反映了大约40%的反应率。
方法：本研究编制了31项问卷，由多项选择和简短回答问题组成，分为两个部分；人口统计，知识和实践。问卷通过在线调查平台分发给与成年人合作的ASCN成员，目的是接触尽可能多的受访者。卡方检验用于确定名义人口统计数据与名义知识和实践数据之间的关系。
结果：几乎三分之二的受访者（65%，n=78）将他们与PSH的预防和管理有关的知识评为好或优。然而，79.8％（n=95）表示他们需要额外的教育来提高与预防PSH有关的知识和实践。与那些将自己的知识评为平均或较差的人相比，那些将自己的知识评为优秀或良好的人更有可能了解指南。
结论：研究结果表明，英国造口护理护士的知识存在差异，以及对这一护理领域额外教育的渴望。
