Objective To investigate the impact of enhanced collaborative nursing interventions on self-care abilities in patients with colostomy. Methods A total of 76 rectal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly assigned into two groups (38 cases each). The control group received conventional interventions, while the observation group underwent collaborative nursing interventions. We compared self-care ability scores, complication rates, and Det scores between the two groups. Results Patients in the observation group demonstrated significantly higher self-care skill indicators (P<0.05) in stoma-related supplies and stoma irrigation evaluations. However, they exhibited lower Det scores (P<0.05) in color changes, erosion, and tissue hyperplasia assessments. Additionally, the observation group showed higher complication rates (P<0.05) including stoma edema and erosion. Conclusion For clinically admitted colostomy patients, implementing collaborative nursing interventions can improve self-care skills, enhance Det levels, reduce negative emotions, and demonstrate significant clinical value.
