and quality of life of colostomy patients

Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting article.  Here are a few suggestions on how to make the article stronger.
1. it would be helpful if you defined what you mean by "self-care".  There is wide range of
definitions and much controversy in recent literature on what is meant by the term "self-care".
For your purposes getting into that debate is not necessary, but defining what you mean by the
term is important.
2.  throughout the document you write descriptors of the data like "much shorter time",
"much higher score", and "sharply lower".  These are all qualitative descriptors of quantifiable
measures.  It would strengthen your article substantially if you provided the quantitative
measures and left the qualitative descriptors for the reader to surmise themselves.  As written,
you are relying on the reader to go to the tables and figure out the data themselves.  Readers
are generally lazy and want the authors to do that work for them.  Go back and put the actual
data in the text of the article.  For example instead of saying "The observation group had much
higher life quality scores than the control", say that the the observation group score was "x"
higher than the control group ...
3. you should also complete a final and thorough proof read as there are a number of typos and
misspellings that are a distraction for the reader.
