About this study

This study will utilize a qualitative descriptive methodology with a thematic analysis approach. Individual interviews will be held with bladder cancer and caregiver dyads who participated in the Stoma Bootcamp study. Interviews will explore the patient's and caregiver's experiences and perceptions of ostomy surgery prior to the Bootcamp and after the Bootcamp from a physical, psychological, social, and spiritual perspective. Semi-structured interview guides will be developed using Engel Biopsychosocial Model (BPS),5 one guide geared towards patients and the second toward caregivers.
