Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of using a 3D scan for a personal ostomy appliance. The main question it aims to answer is: • Whether or not a 3D scan of a stoma reduces leakages and improves patient quality of life in regard to using a personalized ostomy appliance. Participants will - Spend 2 weeks with their standard of care ostomy appliance - Spend 2 weeks with their personalized ostomy appliance made from a 3D scan - Participate in daily surveys and weekly quality of life surveys conducted over the phone
This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of stoma care training given by the Pecha Kucha method to improve the quality of life and self-sufficiency of individuals with stoma.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if access to the StoMakker application will significantly improve health-related quality of life in children receiving surgery resulting in an ileostomy, colostomy or continent urostomy. The main question it aims to answer are: - Does access to StoMakker improve health-related quality of life in children receiving surgery for an ostomy? - Does access to StoMakker improve the anxiety and social functioning of children receiving surgery for an ostomy? - Does access to StoMakker improve postoperative complications of children receiving surgery for an ostomy? Participants will be asked to fill in several questionnaires around their surgery. The intervention group of the trial will be given access to the application "StoMakker". The control group of the trial will receive standard care.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether remote education is as effective as in-person education in improving self-care behaviors of ostomy patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine which stoma creation technique is preferable after low anterior resection of the rectum.
Self-care non-pharmacological methods can help reduce the negative health effects of sleep problems or insomnia. This trial aims to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education and lavender oil inhalation alone and in combination on sleep quality, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in adults with a stoma.
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Taiwan. In the United States, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosis and mortality. According to the databases of the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI), in 2003-2006, a total of 15,805 patients with colorectal surgery were included, and 27.11% were treated with ostomy, while 90.45% were colostomy and 9.55% were ileostomy. The domestic and foreign researches related to enterostomy mostly use cross-sectional research methods. The quality of life, knowledge of self-care and self-care needs of different postoperative methods of colorectal cancer have not been specifically improved for patients with enterostomy. The research on self-care ability and quality of life is for reference. In other countries, enterostomy care has gradually moved from medical institutions to community care, but community nurses generally have no relevant care skills. Advances in mobile technology such as smartphones and other mobile applications have created more opportunities for individuals to receive health-related treatments, anytime, anywhere and anywhere. In the United States, 93% of adult gastroenterology patients have smartphones in medical teaching hospitals, and most of them are interested in using health-related applications. In addition, previous studies have shown the potential benefits and efficacy of mobile devices for self-care patients in diabetes, obesity and cancer. However, there are limited studies on the feasibility and effectiveness of mobile applications for enterostomy care. Researchers want to explore the effectiveness of mobile device intervention on home self-care ability and quality of life of patients with intestinal stoma.
An ostomy is defined by the connection of a viscera to the skin, outside its natural location, by diversion from the digestive or urinary tract. The bodily injury, i.e. the creation of a stoma, has familiar, social and professional consequences. Personalized care, with the help of an ostomy nurse, is essential to accompany the ostomy patient in the changes of his or her life habits. In addition, the progress made in the various appliances, pouching and irrigation systems, contribute to improving the quality of life of these people. In this context of adapted support, COLOPLAST has developed a range of ostomy pouches, the SenSura Mio BodyFit® technology range, for digestive or urinary stomas. The diversity of the devices makes it possible to find the most suitable combination to adapt to the morphology thanks to an elastic adhesive for a secure fit to individual body shape, and the textile materials used make it possible to optimize wearing comfort. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of life of patients with recent ostomies with one of COLOPLAST's SenSura Mio devices at three months after discharge from the hospital. The condition of the skin around the stoma and the level of satisfaction of the patients will also be evaluated. Finally, the results obtained aim to identify factors predictive of a better quality of life in order to improve management.
The purpose of the study is to develop, implement and determine the effects of web-based education programs for patients undergoing colostomy and ileostomy.The study is a randomized controlled experimental research with a pre-test post-test control group design. The study group of the research consisted of individuals, who have an abdominal stoma procedure at a Training and Research Hospital operating under the Ministry of Health in Turkey. 35 individuals were enrolled to the experiment and control groups (N=70). The study group of the hospital was determined as a result of the power analysis performed on an average number of 150 patients, on whom a stoma is opened within a year, with an estimated effect rate of 0.824 and a SD of 0.45, the power being 0.80 and confidence interval p:0.05, as a total of 50 patients, 25 in the experiment group and 25 in the control group. Taking into consideration the data loss that may be experienced, it was planned to enrol 35 individuals to the experiment group and 35 individuals to the control group. The patients were randomly assigned to each group. Homogeneity of patients randomized to the experiment and control groups was checked with a t-test. Research data were collected using an Information Form, Stoma Complications Assessment Form and City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire and Stoma Care Knowledge Assessment Test.
The making of an ostomy in patients is experienced as traumatic. The stoma changes body image, self-esteem and is responsible for increased anxiety. These changes affect the quality of life of patients. To reduce the negative impact of the stoma, patients are seen in preoperative consultation by the stoma nurses. This consultation allows to show the patients the appearance of a stoma (through a photograph), the equipment used and how it works. In 2016, McKenna et al. showed the interest of marking (with felt pen) the ostomy site on the abdomen in preoperative. In this study, patients with preoperative marking had a higher post-operative quality of life score than patients without marking (p=0.03). Quality of life was assessed using the STOMA-QOL score. This quality of life score is specific for ostomy patients. It assesses 4 dimensions: sleep, intimate relationships, relationships with family and close friends, relationships with people other than family and close friends. This questionnaire includes 20 questions and has been validated in 5 languages including French. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the post-operative quality of life of ostomy patients who have benefited from a preoperative therapeutic education session with the placement of the 3D printed ostomy button versus felt-tip marking, during the 15 days prior to the operation.
