The study found that only half of nurses exhibit good knowledge and practice in ostomy care. Training and monthly income significantly influence nurses' knowledge, while practice level is associated with training, course attendance, and knowledge. These findings highlight the importance of targeted training programs and education initiatives to enhance nurses' competence in ostomy care. It is also crucial to address factors like nurses' income levels to ensure equitable access to educational resources and opportunities for professional development, thus enhancing their knowledge.
