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.

Stomas can be either temporary or permanent. Stomas can cause physical issues such as uncontrolled gas output, bad odor, leakage, and local skin irritation, as well as psychological and social problems such as sexual dysfunction, changes in body image, decreased self-esteem, interpersonal relationship issues, depression, anxiety, loneliness, fear, and shame. These problems can reduce individuals' self-care abilities, negatively affect daily living activities, increase their vulnerability to stoma/peristomal complications, and further delay the closure of temporary stomas. Regardless of the type of stoma, all of these issues negatively impact patients' self-efficacy. Many of these problems and potential complications after stoma formation are preventable. Patient education provided through a holistic approach covering pre-operative, post-operative, and home care and follow-up is of great importance in preventing complications and improving patients' adaptation to the stoma. However, a review of the literature reveals that stoma-related education programs typically focus on assessing quality of life and similar factors. Some of the studies reviewed include educational content on pre-operative patient preparation and post-operative care, while others focus only on post-operative complication management. However, high-evidence guidelines, such as Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, emphasize that the first step toward a successful surgical process should be patient education delivered through a holistic approach covering the entire surgical process. Therefore, the planned research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of a training program provided to patients with permanent colostomies on self-efficacy.
| Study Type : | INTERVENTIONAL |
| Estimated Enrollment : | 70 participants |
| Masking : | DOUBLE |
| Masking Description : | Written consent will be obtained from the patients in both the intervention and control groups one day before or on the day of surgery. A "Personal Information Form" will be completed through face-to-face interviews with patients who agree to participate in the study. This process is expected to take approximately 5 minutes. Patients in the experimental group will receive pre-operative stoma care education from the researcher. This training is expected to last about 15 minutes. After the training, a brochure will be provided to the patients that they can use if they need further information. During the training process, patients will be informed that the researcher will contact them by phone after discharge during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. 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. In addition, at the end of the 2nd week, if there are no |
