Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Leakage-related quality of life & Impact, measured using Ostomy Lead Impact (OLI) questionnaire within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 2. Patient self-management, measured using Patient Activation Measurement (PAM) questionnaire within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 3. Health-related quality of life, measured using EQ-5D-5L questionnaire within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 4. Peristomal skin condition measured using Decision Tree Score based on Ostomy Skin Tool 2.0 at nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) and online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 5. Mental wellbeing measured using WHO-5 Well-Being Index within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 6. Worry about leakage and actions taken when worrying using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 7. Odor assessed using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 8. Changing routine (wear time,reason for change and accessories use) assessed using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 9. Unplanned changes due to leakage worry assessed using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 10. Self-management (feeling of security, confidence in knowing when to change appliance and confidence at night) assessed using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 11. Impact of leakage on work (sick days), sleep and social activities (2 week recall) assessed using online survey within 48 hours of nurse-led interview visit (Visit 1) 12.
