Introduction

For people living with a stoma, leakage is a common worry, and leakage outside the baseplate and onto clothing creates embarrassing situations for patients. This fear and worry can negatively impact patients' quality of life. Additionally, leakage adds further mental burden, with the majority of patients worrying about the occurrence of leakage. The mental burden of leakage can lead to patients isolating themselves, having difficulty sleeping, and can affect their ability to work.
