Practice makes perfect: simulated stoma training boosts patient confidence
NCT ID NCT06749769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a hands-on, simulation-based training program helps people with a new stoma feel more confident and capable in caring for it. About 70 adults who have a stoma for the first time will either receive standard education or the simulation-based training. Researchers will measure their care skills, self-confidence, and anxiety levels to see if the simulation approach makes a difference.
