Cukurova University66 enrolled

Overview

The study will be conducted on individuals with stoma followed in the stoma therapy outpatient clinic of a university hospital. The effect size was found to be high, and the statistical power of the study was calculated as 2.955. Therefore, the power level was set at 0.80. The sample size for each group was calculated as 30 using the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program with an effect size of 0.8, 5% margin of error and 80% power %. Considering the possibility of data loss, the number of samples for each group was increased by 20% and it was planned to include 36 patients for each group. The Ostomy Adjustment Inventory and Pittman Ostomy Complication Severity Index will be completed. The scales will be collected for both groups on the first day, first month, and third month postoperatively. Patients were contacted five times postoperatively to provide education and counseling. SPSS will be used for data analysis.

The effect of education and counseling given to individuals with stoma on complications.

Pittman Ostomy Complication Severity Index will be used. This valid and reliable index was developed by Joyce Pittman in 2014 to evaluate the frequency and severity of complications developing in the early postoperative period during the follow-up period of individuals with a stoma. A higher total score indicates more serious ostomy complications. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0, while the highest score is 92.
