Making recovery programs easier for patients with limited health literacy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing ways to improve recovery programs for patients who may have trouble understanding health information. It aims to make these programs easier to follow, so patients can have better recovery after surgery.

This trial is testing a program called ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) to help patients recover faster after minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and reduce hospital stay.
This study looks at how patients feel and report their recovery during a minimally invasive planned surgery, when special “ERAS” nursing care is used. It may help improve nursing support and recovery experiences for future patients.
This study tests whether teaching 4th-year nursing students about ERAS (a protocol to help patients recover faster after surgery) improves their knowledge and confidence in using these methods. You would attend educational sessions and complete short questionnaires over one month.
This trial tests better nutrition and follow-up care for older patients after colon cancer surgery. It focuses on people who are somewhat frail and at risk for poor nutrition, to see if extra support at home can improve recovery.
This study looks at whether a structured “enhanced recovery” plan around the time of colorectal surgery improves outcomes. Because it focuses on a specific group of surgeries done at a specific hospital during certain dates, it may be mainly for people whose surgeries match those records.
This study tests whether a special care program called ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) helps people recover better and faster after keyhole surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to improve your hospital experience and reduce complications.
