First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

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.
