What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of telephone-based education and counseling on stoma compliance and complications in individuals who have undergone stoma surgery. Participants will receive counseling calls on specific postoperative days, and their adaptation and anxiety levels will be assessed using validated scales at multiple time points. The study aims to determine if this intervention can improve patient outcomes and overall quality of life for those living with a stoma.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who have recently undergone stoma surgery and can communicate verbally without impairments.
Not a fit: Patients who have significant psychiatric issues or those who wish to withdraw from the research may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance stoma management and reduce complications for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While similar interventions have shown promise in improving patient education and outcomes, this specific approach is relatively novel.
