Abstract

            The objectives of this research were to study the effects of caregiver capability enhancement program towards knowledge, skills on ostomy care, and complications in ostomate post-discharge for 14 days. The sample was 30 caregivers of new ostomates in the university hospital. Instrumentation was composed of the caregiver capability enhancement program, demographic data questionnaire, the ostomy care knowledge assessment form, the ostomy care skills assessment form, complications in the ostomate assessment form, and follow-up telephone/line application record form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA statistics.


            The result of the study showed the significantly increased ostomy care knowledge mean score after the program (gif.latex?\bar{x} = 22.23) and 14 days after discharge from the hospital (gif.latex?\bar{x}  = 23.30), was higher than before the program (gif.latex?\bar{x} = 12.47) When comparing the mean scores of ostomy care skills after the program. It was found that the mean score after 14 days of discharge from the hospital was statistically significantly higher than after the program (t-test = -9.709, p-value < .05). The caregiver capability enhancement program significantly increased caregivers’ ostomy care knowledge and skills, which decreased colostomy complications, ultimately improving the quality of life.
