The group receiving counseling
Patients in the experimental group will receive pre-operative stoma care education from the researcher. This training is expected to last approximately 15 minutes. After the training, a brochure will be provided to the patients, which they can use if they need additional information. During the training process, patients will be informed that the researcher will contact them by phone during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks after discharge. During these calls, patients will be asked weekly (during weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4) about the color, odor, texture of the wound area, the function of the colostomy, and any complications. Additionally, at the end of the 2nd week, if there are no issues around the wound or sutures, patients will be called to the hospital for suture removal and dressing changes. In other weeks, dietary habits and the condition of the wound will also be inquired. During this four-week period, patients or their relatives will be informed that they can contact the researcher
