Abstract

While the care of the stoma poses a problem for individuals, the presence of complications, lack of stoma adjustment, and impaired quality of life can be more exhausting for patients, as well.
This thesis study was designed and conducted as a multicenter, randomised controlled intervention study with repetitive measurements in a pretest-posttest order. Patients, who underwent intestinal stoma in 5 hospitals, (one of which was private), in a city in the south-eastern Turkey between 20 March and December 31, 2021, participated in the study. Seventy-four patients, who were regarded eligible, were randomised and divided into experimental and control groups. A patient information form, the Stoma Complications Evaluation Form, the Stoma-Related Problems Form, the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23, and the Stoma Quality of Life Scale were used to collect data.
Results of the study revealed a significant difference between the groups based on quality of life and stoma adjustment.
The nurse navigation programme not only increases the quality of life and stoma adjustment in patients with stoma but also reduces stoma complications.
