Summary
This study tests a new way to teach stoma care using a smartphone-based Pecha Kucha training method. Researchers want to see if it improves quality of life and self-sufficiency in 52 people who have a stoma for the first time. Participants will receive the training before leaving the hospital, and their progress will be measured using standard questionnaires.
