Brief Summary

This study uses a stoma self-care app, accessed through LINE official account, a communication software commonly used by Chinese people, as an intervention measure to integrate technology acceptance and task technology adaptation models to explore the correlation of each aspect and its impact on self-care ability and quality of life. Whether the factors and task technology adaptability will affect the willingness and usage behavior of enterostomy patients, the research subjects can effectively improve their self-care ability, quality of life, usage willingness, and usage behavior after intervention.

Conditions

Enterostomy

Keywords

Enterostomy; stoma self-care apps; Technology Acceptance Model; Task Technology Fit Model

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The quality of life of patients with colostomy

  The Stoma-QOL scale was used to measure the quality of life. The score was scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 30 to 120 points. The higher the score, the better the quality of life of the research subjects.

  Day 1 to 28 after colostomy surgery
