Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

The group receiving counseling: Patients in the experimental group will receive pre-operative stoma care education from the researcher. This training is expected to last approximately 15 minutes. After the training, a brochure will be provided to the patients, which they can use if they need additional information. During the training process, patients will be informed that the researcher will contact them by phone during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks after discharge. During these calls, patients will be asked weekly (during weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4) about the color, odor, texture of the wound area, the function of the colostomy, and any complications. Additionally, at the end of the 2nd week, if there are no issues around the wound or sutures, patients will be called to the hospital for suture removal and dressing changes. In other weeks, dietary habits and the condition of the wound will also be inquired. During this four-week period, patients or their relatives will be informed that they can contact the researcher

Study summary

The planned research aims to evaluate the impact of a training program on self-efficacy in patients with permanent colostomies. It highlights the importance of holistic patient education in preventing complications and improving adaptation to stomas, which can positively affect patients' quality of life and self-efficacy.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Stoma Self-Efficacy Scale (S-SES) — 1 years
  The scale was developed to examine the self-efficacy status of patients with stoma. Its validity and reliability in Turkish were conducted by Karaçay et al. The scale consists of 22 items and two subscales. The scale is a 5-point Kickert type, rated from 1 to 5, where 1: definitely do not trust and 5: definitely trust. Items 1-13 of the scale examine Stoma Care Self-Efficacy (S-SES Care), and items 14-22 examine Social Life Self-Efficacy (S-SES Social). The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 22, while the highest score is 110. A higher score indicates higher self-efficacy. In the Turkish validity-reliability study of the scale, the Croncbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.95
