The structured interview questionnaire was used for data collection. Power point teaching was given for 30 minutes and Booklet on colostomy care was given to the patients with colostomy. Posttest knowledge and practice was assessed from the patient. The study results show that the Structured Teaching Programme was effective in increasing the knowledge and practice level of patients with colostomy.
