Assess the quality of life and evaluate the efficacy of multifactorial intervention on knowledge & practice regarding ostomy care among patients with ostomy- A pre-experimental research study
Abstract: Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening in the colon, interrupting the normal bowel passage. Adapting to this significant life change is crucial, as patients must develop new behaviours for self-management and self-care. Successfully adapting to these changes requires knowledge, skills, and a certain level of self-efficacy to improve quality of life. Therefore, …
