In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Assigned Interventions STOMA-M for Nurse's Role and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To explore the effect of the Stoma Mobile application-based training method on the psychosocial adjustment, self-efficacy, and development of peristomal skin complications in individuals with a stoma. Quasi-experimental study with a post-test control group. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected. While the experimental group (n=30) received training with the Stoma Mobile application, the control group (n=30) received training with the booklet. Stoma compliance, self-efficacy level, and the presence of complications were compared in both groups in the first and third months after discharge. H11: Individuals who receive stoma care training via STOMA-M will have a higher adaptation to stomas than individuals who receive stoma care training via a booklet. H12: The SE levels of individuals who receive stoma care training via STOMA-M will be higher than those who receive stoma care training via a booklet. H13: Peristomal skin complications of individuals who receive stoma care training via STOMA-M will be lower than those who receive stoma care training via a booklet. The population of the study included patients who had a stoma for the first time, were in a university hospital in Istanbul between December 2020 and December 2021, and who were 18 years of age and older, literate, without any physical and psychological disabilities, able to use smartphones, and willing to participate in the study. Patients who were in the same room or underwent a urostomy were not included in the study. The experimental group using the Stoma Health Mobile application had higher psychosocial adjustment and self-efficacy scores than the control group, and the peristomal skin lesion complication rate was lower than that of the control group. Social self-efficacy positively affects stoma compliance, and the Stoma Mobile application positively affects the level of social self-efficacy and adaptation of ostomates to the stoma
