After discharge, the individuals in the experimental group were given training by the researcher through training booklets prepared by the Association of Wound Ostomy Incontinence Nurses and video conference in four interviews. The first interview was done on the 5th day after discharge, the second on the 10th day, the third on the 15th day, and the fourth on the 2nd month. Individuals with stoma in the control group received the training routinely given in the hospital. Self-efficacy and compliance with stoma were measured at baseline and at 2 months. The ability to care for one's own stoma was evaluated at the end of the study.
