Summary

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Taiwan.

In the United States, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosis and mortality.

According to the databases of the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI), in 2003-2006, a total of 15,805 patients with colorectal surgery were included, and 27.11% were treated with ostomy, while 90.45% were colostomy and 9.55% were ileostomy.

The domestic and foreign researches related to enterostomy mostly use cross-sectional research methods. The quality of life, knowledge of self-care and self-care needs of different postoperative methods of colorectal cancer have not been specifically improved for patients with enterostomy. The research on self-care ability and quality of life is for reference. In other countries, enterostomy care has gradually moved from medical institutions to community care, but community nurses generally have no relevant care skills. Advances in mobile technology such as smartphones and other mobile applications have created more opportunities for individuals to receive health-related treatments, anytime, anywhere and anywhere. In the United States, 93% of adult gastroenterology patients have smartphones in medical teaching hospitals, and most of them are interested in using health-related applications. In addition, previous studies have shown the potential benefits and efficacy of mobile devices for self-care patients in diabetes, obesity and cancer. However, there are limited studies on the feasibility and effectiveness of mobile applications for enterostomy care. Researchers want to explore the effectiveness of mobile device intervention on home self-care ability and quality of life of patients with intestinal stoma.
