Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of NLP techniques on stoma compliance and quality of life in patients with stoma. The study will be conducted using a prospective randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial model. The research will consist of patients with temporary or permanent colostomy/ileostomy, who are hospitalized in Mersin City Training and Research Hospital. Research data will be obtained with demographic questionnaire, Adjustment Scale for Individuals with Ostomy and Stoma Quality of Life Scale. Analysis of the study data will be done through the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 package program. While evaluating the study data, frequencies (number, percentage) for categorical variables and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) for numerical variables will be given. Statistical significance in the analyzes will be interpreted at the 0.05 level.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• stoma compliance scores of the participants

  At the end of the firsth day to measure the comfort level of the participants, the average score of the Individual with a postpartum comfort Scale will be calculated The General Comfort Questionnaire developed by Kolcaba (1992). Designed as a five-point Likert-type scale, the PCS has 34 items. In this respect, the participants respond to PCS items by rating them from 1 point to 5 points. In positively worded items, "I strongly agree" refers to the highest level of comfort whilst "I strongly disagree" points to the lowest level of comfort. Negatively worded items were reverse-coded. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the PCS are successively 34 and 170 points. There is no cut-off point for the PCS. As the scores obtained from the PCS increase, the comfort levels also go up. Cronbach's alpha coefficient as the measure of internal consistency was found as 0.78 for the PCS

EXPERIMENTAL

After the participant consented to participate in the study with the Informed Consent Form, her comfort level was measured with the Postpartum Comfort Scale. A session of NLP (30 minutes) was applied to the participant. The patient was informed about the application. The mother was asked to sit or lie down i Before the discharge of the participant from the hospital, her comfort level was evaluated once again by using the Postpartum Comfort Scale

Behavioral: Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

After the participant consented to participate in the study with the Informed Consent Form, her comfort level was measured with the Postpartum Comfort Scale. Without having any additional practice, the participant solely had the routine clinical protocol. Before the discharge of the participant from the hospital, her comfort level was evaluated once again by using the Postpartum Comfort Scale.

Interventions

Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques BEHAVIORAL

The new behavior creation technique of NLP is based on the argument that the imagination process and reality are recorded in the same way in the brain. Using the Participant's eye movements and imagination . He will be asked to imagine himself while caring for the stoma. participient will then be asked to re-enact the process with the correct stages of stoma care and the jurals that must be adhered to in order to successfully care for it. Questions will be asked about where he can find the support he needs to carry out this process successfully. At the end of this whole process, he will be expected to construct what life is like with a stoma.The technique will be applied to the patient once and will be instructed to remember this successful process every time he or she feels distressed about the stoma. At the end of 6 months, the quality of life and compliance will be evaluated by asking the scale questions again.
