Simple training may help colostomy patients feel more in control
NCT ID NCT06905925
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- training program (pre-operative education and post-discharge phone counseling)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this training could help people with colostomies feel more capable and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is brief and may not be enough to make a lasting difference.
