What this trial studies

This interventional program delivers a structured teach-back education session to adults after elective colostomy or ileostomy at Fırat University Hospital. Education covers stoma care techniques, appliance selection and fitting, complication recognition, and coping with body image changes, with teaching repeated until understanding is confirmed. Outcomes are measured by self-efficacy, body image scores, stoma-related complications, and adherence at baseline and during follow-up visits. Emergency surgery patients and those with cognitive or psychiatric conditions that prevent participation are excluded and participants must be able to attend follow-up visits.
