Results The scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05) in cleaning and keeping the skin dry, selecting and cutting the appropriate stoma bag, evaluating the stoma and surrounding skin, and external fixation method. The complication rate was lower than that of control group (P<0.05).
