Summary

This trial tests whether a teaching method called 'teach-back'—where patients repeat back what they've learned—can improve self-care, adjustment, and anxiety in people who have had an ostomy (a surgically created opening for waste). The study includes adults aged 18 to 84 who have an ostomy and speak Turkish. Participants will receive ostomy care education using the teach-back method, and their adjustment, self-care ability, and anxiety levels will be measured over two months to see if this approach helps.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Teach-Back method for ostomy care education
What this could lead to
If effective, this teaching approach could help people with an ostomy feel more confident in self-care, adjust better to life with an ostomy, and reduce anxiety.
What could go wrong
This is a small study, so results may not apply to everyone. The outcome depends on how well the method is delivered and received, and it may not show a clear benefit over standard education.
