Ostomy Telehealth For Cancer Survivors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Colostomy Stoma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test the benefits of an educational program, the Ostomy Self-Management Training (OSMT) program, for improving patient activation (preparedness to do self-care), self-efficacy (patients' ability to do self-care), knowledge of ostomy/urostomy self-care, quality of life, mood, use of medical services, and financial burden in patients with ostomies. The study will compare patients in the intervention (training) group and patients in the usual care group. Subjects' participation in this study is expected to last about 7 months. The PI plans to enroll up to 176 subjects at 3 hospitals (University of Pennsylvania, Yale University School of Nursing, and City of Hope in Los Angeles). All patient telehealth education will be coordinated by the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.
