This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises on bowel evacuation problems and quality of life in individuals after stoma closure.

Detailed description

Sample of study was calculated as 32 using G\*Power Software (ver. 3.1.9.2) for 80% power and medium effect size (f=0.25) at 95% confidence level in line with the data of Lin et al. Participants were assigned to the experimental and control groups by the stratified block randomization method. The locks were assigned to layers using Microsoft Excel. The individuals in the experimental group received pelvic floor muscle exercises training from the researcher using the Roy Adaptation Model in addition to routine discharge training. The patients received a PFME training booklet prepared by the researcher. Face-to-face training was given to the individuals in the experimental group on the day before the operation, on the second and third postoperative days, and on the day of discharge. The training continued with phone calls at the first, second and third weeks and the first, second, third, and sixth months after the surgery. Data was collected a day before discharge, first, second, third, and sixth months after the surgery.
