The Effects of a Digital Media-Based Self-Efficacy Promotion Program Post-Discharge on the Self-Care Behaviors of Colorectal Cancer Patients with Ostomies
Keywords:

This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effect of a digital media-based self-efficacy promotion program on the self-care behaviors of colorectal cancer patients with ostomies. The sample consisted of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients who had undergone ostomy surgery two weeks after discharge from hospital; 30 patients were assigned to the control group and received standard care, while 30 patients were assigned to the experimental group and participated in a program to promote self-efficacy after discharge using digital media. Instruments included the digital self-efficacy enhancement program and a self-care behavior questionnaire for ostomy patients. All research instruments were validated by five experts, achieving content validity indices of 1.00 and 0.96, respectively, and a reliability coefficient of 0.91 using Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-tests. Results showed that the experimental group displayed significantly higher self-care behavior scores than the control group (p < .05).
In conclusion, the effect of the digital media-based program improved the self-care behaviors of colorectal cancer patients with ostomies post-discharge, as they promoted appropriate and correct self-care behaviors among this patient group.
