Overview

Intestinal stoma is a surgical procedure performed to create an artificial opening in the intestine. To improve the quality of life of individuals with stoma, it is essential to address physiological and psychosocial issues and ensure adaptation to the stoma. Patient education on stoma care during the preoperative period may facilitate stoma adaptation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the education provided to patients undergoing intestinal stoma creation using a Stoma Care Training Belt on stoma care skills, adaptation, anxiety, and satisfaction.

Introduction:Intestinal stoma is a surgical procedure performed to create an artificial opening in the intestine. To improve the quality of life of individuals with stoma, it is essential to address physiological and psychosocial issues and ensure adaptation to the stoma. Patient education on stoma care during the preoperative period may facilitate stoma adaptation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the education provided to patients undergoing intestinal stoma creation using a Stoma Care Training Belt on stoma care skills, adaptation, anxiety, and satisfaction. This study will be conducted as a parallel group, randomized controlled study at Ankara University Health Practice and Research Hospitals Ibn-i Sina Research and Practice Hospital and Ankara University Health Practice and Research Hospitals Cebeci Research and Practice Hospital General Surgery Clinics.The analysis was performed in G\*Power version 3.1.9.4.It was planned to include a total of 170 patients in the study, 85 patients in each group.In order to ensure similarity between groups; Simple randomization will be used to assign the women in the sample group to the experimental and control groups. Data, sociodemographic and medical data form, State Anxiety Scale, Stoma Care Skill Rubric, Ostomy Adaptation Scale-23 and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)-Patient satisfaction level will be collected.Patients will be evaluated 5 times in total: on the day of discharge, and on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after discharge. The data will be evaluated in a computer environment with appropriate statistical methods using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 25 (SPSS) for Windows statistical package program.Ethics committee permission was received for the research from Ankara University Ethics Committee. Permission was obtained from the institution where the research would be conducted.This research is supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Stoma Care Skills

Stoma Care Skill will be evaluated 4 times in total, using the Stoma Care Skill Rubric, on the day of discharge, and on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after discharge. On the relevant days, patients come to the polyclinic for control. It consists of 23 items that include stoma care process steps. For each process step, the learner's competence is scored between 0-2 (0- Insufficient, 1- Partially adequate, 2- Satisfactory). A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 46 points can be obtained from the key. The total score obtained from the key indicates the adequacy of stoma care skills.

Time frame: day of discharge and on days 5th, 15th and 30th after discharge

Stoma compliance

Patients' stoma compliance levels will be evaluated 4 times in total, using the Ostomy Compliance Scale-23, on the day of discharge and on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after discharge. On the relevant days, patients come to the polyclinic for control. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20-80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety. The scale score varies between 0-92 points. Higher scores from each scale item indicate increased compliance.

Time frame: day of discharge and on days 5th, 15th and 30th after discharge

Anxiety

The anxiety levels of the patients will be evaluated 5 times in total, using the State Anxiety Scale, on the day before surgery, on the day of discharge, and on the 5th, 15th and 30th days after discharge. On the relevant days, patients come to the polyclinic for control.The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20-80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety.

Time frame: the day before surgery, day of discharge and on days 5th, 15th and 30th after discharge

Secondary Outcomes

Patient Satisfaction

Visual Analog Scale will be used to evaluate patients' satisfaction levels with the training provided with the Stoma Care Training Belt. Accordingly, they will be asked to give a score between 0 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (highest possible satisfaction) regarding their level of satisfaction with the training provided with the Stoma Care Training Belt. As the score increases, the satisfaction level increases.
