    Introduction: Patients with digestive ostomies face numerous challenges, including changes in their daily lives and well-being, impacting physical, psychological, and social aspects. Yet, there's no standard nursing care protocol to assist in their adjustment and encourage self-management. Aim of the study: To know which nursing interventions are most beneficial for promoting self-care in individuals with digestive ostomies and who are at home. Methods: A literature review was conducted in PubMed and CINAHL databases between October and December 2023. Results: Two types of nursing interventions were identified: home care via a mobile app and virtual platforms; and the Ostomy Self-Management Program (OSMT). It was found that technologies were beneficial in promoting self-care, but the OSMT program could not demonstrate statistically significant benefits. Conclusions: Online follow-up care can effectively improve self-care in ostomy patients. However, further research is needed to find more effective intervention.
