    Elderly ostomy patients face significant home self-management challenges due to insufficient care capacity and lack of integrated evidence.

  • 2

    A systematic literature search identified 15 high-quality studies focusing on home stoma self-management for elderly ostomy patients.

  • 3

    The studies encompassed six core domains: self-management goals, stoma assessment, psychological adjustment, dietary management, behavioral management, and medication management.

  • 4

    A total of 36 pieces of evidence were summarized, addressing the specific needs of elderly ostomy patients for home self-management.

  • 5

    Future research should aim to develop targeted, evidence-based interventions to enhance home stoma self-management for elderly patients.
