Summary

This study tests whether a short training program, including a brochure and follow-up phone calls, can improve self-efficacy in people who have a permanent colostomy after colorectal surgery. Researchers will enroll 70 patients and measure their confidence in stoma care and social life using a standard scale. The goal is to see if this simple support helps patients adapt better and feel more capable.

What this could lead to: If it works, this training could help people with colostomies feel more capable and improve their quality of life.
