Abstract
Traveling with a stoma can present unique challenges, yet with proper planning and strategies, individuals can manage their stomas effectively while on the go. This systematic review aims to identify and evaluate the strategies that contribute to successful travel experiences for individuals with a stoma. Through an analysis of literature from 2018 to 2022, this review synthesizes findings on pre-travel preparation, in-transit management, and destination considerations. The findings provide practical guidance for healthcare professionals in supporting stoma patients who wish to travel, ensuring their comfort, confidence, and health during their journeys.
