Background: An ileal conduit urinary diversion is a frequently implemented procedure, which influences physiological,
social, and psychological functions. Patients' learning needs and self-care deficit assessment can help in fulfilling patients'
needs and improving their lifestyle. Aim of the study: Assess learning needs and self-care among ileal conduit patients
Method: This study was descriptive research with 50 ileal conduit patients. Three tools were used to collect data:
sociodemographic data sheet, patients' knowledge questionnaire and the urostomy education scale Results: the ileal conduit patients' learning needs were high as the mean total knowledge score was 24.12 ± 12.09 and the total self-care mean score was 3.56 ± 2.23. Conclusion: The studied ileal conduit patients had high learning needs as their total mean knowledge score and self-care score were low. So, designing a systematic educational program based on patient learning needs to ensure that such basic needs are fulfilled, and patients have received the needed self-care enhancement program is very critical for this group of patients.
