First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching people with a colostomy or ileostomy how to care for their stoma helps them adjust better, feel better about their body, and manage their daily life. About 100 adults who had planned stoma surgery will take part. The goal is to see if education improves self-care and emotional well-being.
