Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
self-care ability	Assessment scale of self-care ability of enterostomy care was a quantitative scale for nursing staff to evaluate self-care skills in patients with enterostomy. It consisted of 7 items related to: Prepare items, removing the pouching system, measuring the enterostomy diameter, adjusting the size of the enterostomy diameter in a new stoma appliance, skin care, fitting a new enterostomy appliance, and emptying procedure. Each skill was rated on a 4-point scale: Likert scale (1: not at all, 2: some, 3: quite a lot, 4: very much). Higher scores indicated that patient had a higher level of self-care skills for changing enterostomy pouching system	One and a half years
