Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After signing the informed consent form, patients with ostomy will be assigned to the intervention or active control group (1:1). The intervention group will receive a total of four remote educational sessions over 2 months. The control group will receive the standard care, consisting of in-person standard education.
