Intestinal stoma is a surgical procedure performed to create an artificial opening in the intestine. To improve the quality of life of individuals with stoma, it is essential to address physiological and psychosocial issues and ensure adaptation to the stoma. Patient education on stoma care during the preoperative period may facilitate stoma adaptation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the education provided to patients undergoing intestinal stoma creation using a Stoma Care Training Belt on stoma care skills, adaptation, anxiety, and satisfaction.
