ABSTRACT
Intestinal cancer, severe injury, and severe inflammation are most often treated with surgery, and an ostomy will be left in place after surgery[1]. An ostomy is a portion of the intestine that is surgically removed and pulled up to the abdominal wall, creating a temporary or permanent opening that serves as a pathway for intestinal waste to be discharged from the body, usually called a stoma. Stoma may be temporary (2 months to 6 months) or permanent. The goal for people with a stoma is to have the knowledge and ability to care for an ostomy to avoid peristomal moisture-associated skin damage. After patients return home, self-care knowledge and skills can help them adapt to the disease and maintain quality of life. Therefore, this study examined the effects of developing mobile Health applications on improving self-care knowledge and skills in patients who underwent ostomy surgery.
