Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Adjustment; Stoma Ileostomy; Stoma Colostomy; Self Efficacy; Colorectal Cancer; Colorectal Disorders
• Interventions: Behavioral: At home education via video conferencing

• Registration Number: NCT05531331
• Lead Sponsor: Ankara University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of stoma care training given at home via videoconferencing after discharge on the self-efficacy and compliance with stoma of individuals with stoma. In addition to the main purpose, it is aimed to determine whether stoma care education given via video conference at home has an effect on individuals with stoma to perform their own stoma care.

Detailed Description

After discharge, the individuals in the experimental group were given training by the researcher through training booklets prepared by the Association of Wound Ostomy Incontinence Nurses and video conference in four interviews. The first interview was done on the 5th day after discharge, the second on the 10th day, the third on the 15th day, and the fourth on the 2nd month. Individuals with stoma in the control group received the training routinely given in the hospital. Self-efficacy and compliance with stoma were measured at baseline and at 2 months. The ability to care for one's own stoma was evaluated at the end of the study.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention Group	At home education via video conferencing	After discharge, the individuals in the experimental group were given training by the researcher through training booklets prepared by the Association of Wound Ostomy Incontinence Nurses and video conference in four interviews. The first interview was done on the 5th day after discharge, the second on the 10th day, the third on the 15th day, and the fourth on the 2nd month.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The change in the adaptation of the experimental group according to the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 scores at the end of the second month	Baseline, 2nd month	It was created by Maekawa (2000) and later this scale was arranged by Simmons et al. (2009) in the form of Ostomy Adjustment Scale-23, consisting of 23 items and 4 sub-dimensions. OAS-23, a self-assessment scale, is a scale used to evaluate the level of adjustment in individuals with stoma. 4 sub-dimensions in this scale: accepting (includes items 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 14, 15, 19, 23.), anxiety/worry (12, 13, 17, 20, 21 items) .), social cohesion (includes items 5, 7, 8, 11), and anger (includes items 2 and 10). At the same time, there are 3 items (16, 18 and 22) that are not included in any sub-dimensions. Each item of the scale is evaluated in a 5-point Likert type.
The change in the self-efficacy of the experimental group according to the Stoma Self-Efficacy Scale scores at the end of the second month	Baseline, 2nd month	The Stoma Self-Efficacy Scale was developed to measure self-efficacy in individuals with stoma. The scale was developed by Bekkers et al. (1996). It is a 22-item scale with two sub-dimensions. Items in this scale are in 5-point Likert type. The first sub-dimension is the "Stoma Care Self-Efficacy" sub-dimension, which consists of the first 13 items. The second sub-dimension is the "Social Self-Efficacy" sub-dimension consisting of the remaining nine items. The minimum score that can be taken from the scale is 22, the maximum score is 110, and an increase in the score from the scale indicates high levels of self-efficacy. There is no reverse scored item in the scale.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The change in the ability of individuals with stoma to care for their stoma at the end of the 2nd month	Baseline, 2nd month	After the individuals with stoma in the experimental group were trained by the researcher throughout the study, it was evaluated that they could or could not perform their own stoma care under the supervision of the researcher. However, the status of individuals in the control group for maintaining stoma care is based on their own statements.
