Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted stoma-care teaching in improving patients' confidence and skills in stoma management.
Study Design:
Quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of the Study: Section of Urology, Department of Surgery, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, from December 2023 to May 2024.
Methodology:
Nineteen patients underwent radical cystectomy with ileal conduit, of whom 15 met the eligibility criteria. On the third postoperative day, patients received verbal stoma-care instructions, followed by video-assisted teaching at their first clinic visit. A self-efficacy questionnaire was administered pre- and post-intervention. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared the scores, with p <0.05 deemed statistically significant.
Results:
The median self-efficacy score improved significantly from 24/65 before the video intervention to 61/65 afterwards (p <0.05). Improvements were observed across stoma-care, application, and confidence domains. Pre-intervention, only one patient demonstrated high confidence, whereas post-intervention, all patients achieved high self-efficacy.
Conclusion:
Video-assisted stoma-care teaching significantly improved patients' confidence and skills in managing their stoma after radical cystectomy. This method provides a valuable, repeatable tool to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.

An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
