Summary
This pilot study is testing a web-based tool called GA-STOMA designed to help older adults (65+) recover and adapt after fecal ostomy surgery. The tool provides a survey and personalized tips to support recovery. The study will check if the tool is easy to use and acceptable to patients and their clinicians.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Geriatric Assessment Strategy for Ostomy Management and Adaptation (GA-STOMA) - a web-based survey and tailored content
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, supportive tool to help older adults recover better and adapt to life with an ostomy after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small pilot study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal is just to see if the tool is easy to use, not yet to prove it improves health.
