Le Canada a besoin des ISPSCs! Les ISPSCs préviennent les complications liées aux stomies, réduisant ainsi les taux de réadmission à l'hôpital. De nombreux patients stomisés connaissent des complications qui peuvent nuire à leur qualité de vie et accroître leur dépendance à l'égard du système de santé. Les ISPSCs aident à prévenir ces complications grâce à des soins préopératoires et une réadaptation postopératoire efficace, réduisant ainsi les taux de réadmission pour les nouveaux patients stomisés. (Medley, 2014) La date limite de candidature pour le programme ISPSC en français est le 30 juin 2024. Postulez dès maintenant: https://lnkd.in/eb86JdXY
