Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for permanent colostomy surgery and can communicate in Turkish.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who develop post-operative complications or cannot be contacted during the study period may not benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
This research evaluates the impact of a training program designed for patients with permanent colostomies, focusing on enhancing their self-efficacy. The program emphasizes holistic patient education that addresses both physical and psychological challenges associated with stomas. By providing comprehensive pre-operative, post-operative, and home care education, the study aims to prevent complications and improve patients' adaptation to their stomas. The intervention includes counseling to support patients in managing their condition effectively.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the quality of life and self-management skills of patients with permanent colostomies.
How similar studies have gone: While some studies have focused on stoma-related education, this holistic approach to enhancing self-efficacy is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
