Summary

Stomas are most commonly used in the gastrointestinal tract as ileostomy or colostomy. Although colorectal cancers are the most important factor causing intestinal stoma opening, intestinal ostomies are also used in cases such as congenital anomalies, obstructive or inflammatory bowel diseases, traumas requiring surgery, large defects caused by colorectal injuries as well as sigmoid colon volvulus and ischemic colitis. In stoma surgery performed to increase the duration and quality of life of individuals, the patient's compliance with the stoma and awareness of possible complications are important. Conditions such as peristomal skin problems, noisy bowel movements, stool leakage and pain make it difficult to adapt to the stoma.In addition, despite all the advances in stoma care products and surgical techniques, individuals are faced with stoma complications. Therefore, individuals with stoma should be closely monitored for complications. Inappropriately selected stoma site or bag/adapter system, lack of knowledge and skills related to stoma care can be listed among the possible causes of complications. Complications such as edema, bleeding, ischemia and mucocutaneous separation may develop in the first days after stoma surgery. In studies evaluating patients in terms of stoma compliance and complications in the literature, it has been observed that mobile-based trainings given to patients increase their stoma compliance and reduce the incidence of complications. With the mobile-based training planned to be used in the study, it is thought to contribute to the ability of individuals to perform stoma care independently. With the decrease in peristomal skin lesions and stoma complications, it is predicted that the quality of life of patients with stoma will increase, self-care competence will be formed, and health expenditures and therefore national health expenditures will decrease. It is thought that this mobile training application will not only provide support to patients with stoma but also guide healthcare professionals. It will also contribute to closing the shortage of stoma and wound care nurses in hospitals.

Conditions

  • Intestinal Stoma Site Hemorrhage
  • Intestinal Stoma Leakage
  • Life Style, Healthy

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mobile-based stoma care education group

Individuals included in the intervention group will be given mobile-based stoma care trainings before surgery, on the 3rd postoperative day, on the day of discharge, and on the 1st and 3rd months after discharge, and their effectiveness will be measured using data collection forms.
