The study will be conducted on individuals with stoma followed in the stoma therapy outpatient clinic of a university hospital. The effect size was found to be high, and the statistical power of the study was calculated as 2.955. Therefore, the power level was set at 0.80. The sample size for each group was calculated as 30 using the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program with an effect size of 0.8, 5% margin of error and 80% power %. Considering the possibility of data loss, the number of samples for each group was increased by 20% and it was planned to include 36 patients for each group. The Ostomy Adjustment Inventory and Pittman Ostomy Complication Severity Index will be completed. The scales will be collected for both groups on the first day, first month, and third month postoperatively. Patients were contacted five times postoperatively to provide education and counseling. SPSS will be used for data analysis.
