Abstract
Cancer is the disease which causes fear to an individual. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancer among adult population.

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. The improvement was statistically tested by paired-âtâ value and the result found to be significant at p<0.001 level. Patients with colostomy are more risky to have complications which can be prevented by providing education regarding ostomy care and can lead them to live a normal life.
