Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Impact of Stoma Bootcamp preoperative educational program on patients and caregivers | The research team will open code a subset of interviews, develop a codebook, and continue rounds of coding and discussion until consensus on code and definitions is reached. Once consensus is reached, all transcripts will be coded using the codebook, categories will be developed, and emergent themes will be assessed. Once themes are identified, they will be placed into a thematic map. Data will be analyzed until thematic saturation is reached | Interviews are expected to last 10-20 minutes and analysis expected to last approximately one year |
