Summary

Because the stoma will become a part of the individual's body and directly impact their quality of life, careful attention should be paid to its location and surgical procedure. Stoma care nurses should provide effective training to patients and those responsible for their care. Patients and their families should be regularly monitored, followed up, and cared for at home after discharge. They should also be provided with information about appropriate units to consult if any problems arise. Stoma support groups should be established to foster social interaction. A well-planned surgical procedure protects individuals from the development of complications and problems that can be considered a "life sentence."

Detailed description

This prospective, randomized, controlled study aims to investigate the effects of orange blossom essential oil placed in the stoma bag on odor reduction, social isolation, and stoma compliance in individuals with permanent colostomies. Sample size calculations were performed using a priori power analysis (t-test) for the intervention and control groups. Accordingly, with an effect size of d=1.12, a 5% error rate (α=0.05), and 80% power (1-β=0.80), the minimum sample size for both groups was calculated as 54. Considering potential losses, the total sample size will be increased by 10%, with 30 patients in each group (Experimental Group: 30, Control Group: 30), for a total of 60 patients. Data will be collected using a patient personal information form, a patient information form, a compliance scale for individuals with stoma, and a social isolation scale, all prepared by the researchers based on literature.
