Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of NLP techniques on stoma compliance and quality of life in patients with stoma.

The study will be conducted using a prospective randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial model.

The research will consist of patients with temporary or permanent colostomy/ileostomy, who are hospitalized in Mersin City Training and Research Hospital.

Research data will be obtained with demographic questionnaire, Adjustment Scale for Individuals with Ostomy and Stoma Quality of Life Scale.

Analysis of the study data will be done through the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package program. While evaluating the study data, frequencies (number, percentage) for categorical variables and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) for numerical variables will be given.

Statistical significance in the analyzes will be interpreted at the 0.05 level.

Detailed Description

Stomas are formed in order to provide stool output after surgery in cases that require removal of the bowel due to disease or trauma (Harputlu \& Özsoy, 2016). Stoma surgery is a vital surgical intervention. However, the individual may have to cope with many problems that may negatively affect the adaptation process and quality of life in terms of living with a stoma. The literature is that despite the developing stoma products and professional nurse educators, the problems related to stoma compliance and quality of life of the patients continue, and complications affecting coping with these processes are seen at different rates.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of NLP techniques on stoma compliance and quality of life in patients with stoma.

The study will be conducted using a prospective randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial model.

The study will consist of patients with temporary or permanent colostomy/ileostomy, who are hospitalized in Mersin City Training and Research Hospital.

Research data will be obtained with demographic questionnaire, Adjustment Scale for Individuals with Ostomy and Stoma Quality of Life Scale.

Analysis of the study data will be done through the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package program. While evaluating the study data, frequencies (number, percentage) for categorical variables and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) for numerical variables will be given.

The normality assumptions of the numerical variables according to the groups were examined with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test of normality and it was observed that the variables were normally distributed. For this reason, parametric statistical methods will be used in the study.

Relationships between two independent categorical variables were interpreted by Chi-square analysis. The differences between the two independent groups were examined using the Independent Sample T Test. The differences between the two dependent numerical variables will be examined with Dependent Sample T. Statistical significance in the analyzes will be interpreted at the 0.05 level.

GroupInterventionDescription
The group to which NLP techniques will be appliedNeuro-Linguistic Programming TechniquesAfter the participant consented to participate in the study with the Informed Consent Form, her comfort level was measured with the Postpartum Comfort Scale. A session of NLP (30 minutes) was applied to the participant. The patient was informed about the application. The mother was asked to sit or lie down i Before the discharge of the participant from the hospital, her comfort level was evaluated once again by using the Postpartum Comfort Scale
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
stoma compliance scores of the participants1th day

At the end of the firsth day to measure the comfort level of the participants, the average score of the Individual with a postpartum comfort Scale will be calculated The General Comfort Questionnaire developed by Kolcaba (1992). Designed as a five-point Likert-type scale, the PCS has 34 items. In this respect, the participants respond to PCS items by rating them from 1 point to 5 points. In positively worded items, "I strongly agree" refers to the highest level of comfort whilst "I strongly disagree" points to the lowest level of comfort. Negatively worded items were reverse-coded. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the PCS are successively 34 and 170 points. There is no cut-off point for the PCS. As the scores obtained from the PCS increase, the comfort levels also go up. Cronbach's alpha coefficient as the measure of internal consistency was found as 0.78 for the PCS
