Summary

This study tests whether a digital educational booklet, delivered via WhatsApp with voice-overs, animations, and interactive simulations, can improve mothers' knowledge and skills in caring for a child with a colostomy. Around 120 mothers of children with colostomies are randomly assigned to receive either the digital program plus routine care or routine care alone. Their knowledge and practical care skills are measured before, right after, and 12 weeks later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If effective, this digital tool could help mothers better care for children with colostomies, reducing complications and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small (120 participants) and focuses on knowledge and practice scores rather than long-term health outcomes. Results may not apply to all settings.
