Summary

This study surveyed over 1100 adults with a colostomy to find out how often they use colon irrigation (a way to clean the bowel) and how it affects their daily life. Researchers compared quality of life between those who irrigate and those who don't, and looked at reasons for not irrigating. The goal was to better understand patient experiences and improve care.
