Telehealth help for ostomy self-care
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a telehealth program to help you manage your ostomy after surgery. If you have bladder or colorectal cancer and are getting an ostomy, you and a caregiver can learn skills to handle your new stoma from home using video calls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have bladder or colorectal cancer
- You are scheduled for surgery to create an ostomy (a stoma on your belly for waste to exit the body)
- If you have bladder cancer, you must be getting an ileal conduit (a urostomy that doesn't have a valve to control urine flow)
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can read and understand English for questionnaires
- You have a family member or friend who helps care for you and is willing to join the study (they also need to be 18+ and able to read English)
