Surgical interventions, including cecostomy tubes, are thought to be more effective in maintaining bowel continence. Establishing a place for cecostomy tubes in bowel management plans will improve patient quality of life. Purpose: The goal of this project was to evaluate the frequency of cecostomy tube placement in the clinic?s bowel management program, assess continence after placement, and determine if current practice is aligned with the Spina Bifida Association?s bowel management guidelines. 000009982 650__ $$aChild$$016462 000009982 650__ $$aNeurogenic Bowel$$038328 000009982 6531_ $$aspina bifida 000009982 6531_ $$atube cecostomy 000009982 6531_ $$abowel incontinence 000009982 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009982 7001_ $$aGood, Kelsey E.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009982 8564_ $$9fe59c69b-54fd-4833-adbd-eaa8d8af92f7$$s1728466$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9982/files/Good.Kelsey.2023.pdf 000009982 905__ $$a/rest/prod/qn/59/q4/79/qn59q479d 000009982 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9982$$pstudent-work 000009982 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
