Summary

This study looks at how having a new stoma (an opening in the body for waste to leave) affects both patients and their partners, and whether resiliency training can improve their quality of life. Researchers will measure quality of life and psychological resilience in patients undergoing their first stoma creation. The goal is to see if this training offers meaningful support during a challenging adjustment period.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
resiliency training
What this could lead to
If effective, resiliency training could become a standard support tool to help new stoma patients and their partners adapt and maintain a better quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study, so results may not apply broadly. The training's benefits are uncertain, and it may not significantly improve quality of life for all participants.
