The AASTN Inc. Education and Professional Development Subcommittee has developed a series of Patient Education Pamphlets for use by Stomal Therapy Nurses in the education of ostomates and others.
These pamphlets can be downloaded below. They are designed to be used as they are. However if you wish to overprint or double badge with your institution's logo, please download the Microsoft Word versions of the documents here. Please note that best results are achieved using Word version 2007 or higher.
Copyright belongs to the AASTN, and acknowledgement of this source is required if they are altered.
Most of these pamphlets have been translated into Greek, Italian, Macedonian, Vietnamese and Chinese and are available for downloading from the Royal District Nursing Service website.
