What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the impact of a training program on self-efficacy in patients with permanent colostomies. The study focuses on the importance of comprehensive patient education to prevent complications and improve adaptation to stomas, which can positively affect quality of life and self-confidence. It addresses both physical and psychological challenges faced by these patients, emphasizing a holistic educational approach throughout the surgical process. The study involves two groups: a control group receiving standard care education from clinical nurses, and an experimental group receiving a pre-operative stoma care training session lasting about 15 minutes along with a brochure. The experimental group will also have weekly phone follow-ups during the first four weeks after discharge to monitor wound and stoma conditions, dietary habits, and any complications. At week two, patients without issues will return to the hospital for suture removal and dressing changes. Participants will be evaluated using the Stoma Self-Efficacy Scale (S-SES) over one year. During the study, researchers will collect information through phone calls and hospital visits, monitoring wound appearance, colostomy function, and any complications. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design and aims to understand how education affects patients' ability to care for themselves and adapt to their stoma over time.
