Detailed Description

Colorectal cancer is third cancer worldwide after breast and lung cancer accounting for 10% of all cancer cases and 9.4% of cancer deaths. Over 2.2 million new colorectal cancer cases and 1.8 million deaths have been estimated to occur in 2020. In Egypt, it is the seventh cancer, accounting for 3.9% of all cancers, with about 5,000 new cases annually.

Colorectal resections are often associated with temporary or permanent stoma formations. In the United Kingdom it is estimated that more than 20,000 new stomas are created each year, 11,800 of them were colostomies. About one-half of the stoma was permanent. The formation of a stoma is associated with psychologic morbidity, which can be reduced with preoperative and postoperative patient education and psychologic support.

Living with a stoma is a challenging situation for various reasons including uncontrolled gas passage through it, diarrhea, odor, and leakage around the stoma or appliance. It would take several months for the patients to adjust to this difficult time. At that point, the patient's Quality of life becomes essential for the remaining time.

Ostomy formation is one of the therapeutic procedures performed to manage bowel dysfunction due to various reasons; however, it affects quality of life of patients. World health organization defines QOL as an individual's perspective of his/her health status concerning a few aspects- physical, psychological, economic, social, and environmental.

A stoma influences the physical, mental, emotional, and social life of the patient significantly. A good quality of life is essential to achieve a comprehensive approach to treating patients. A study done in China to assess stoma related quality of life using a stoma self-care agency scale and health hope index showed that patients had difficulties in work and social institutions. Additional concerns pointed out were sexuality, body image and the stoma itself. A long-term effect on the quality of life of members of the United Ostomy Association of America after 5 years of ostomy surgery was assessed using a questionnaire. Their report has shown that patients feel better as they live longer with the stoma. Research done on Iranian by ostomy society has shown that factors such as the type of ostomy, the underlying disease that had led to the stoma formation, depression after ostomy, dissatisfaction with sexual activities, a problem with the location of ostomy and change in clothing style affected the Quality of Life.

Ostomies can lead to intensified distress and suffering in patients because of skin irritation (76%), pouch leakage (62%), offensive odor (59%), reduction in pleasurable activities (54%), and depression/anxiety (53%). In such circumstances, it is worthwhile to assess the quality of life in the evaluation of the outcomes of various therapeutic procedures along with their final impact on patients' lives. Quality of care and training provided to patients can be associated with their subsequent quality of life. The main aim of this study is to assess the effects of preoperative education on stoma self-care, quality of life, Anxiety, and depression levels in colorectal cancer patients with a stoma.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing elective operable colorectal resections that would require the formation of a temporary or permanent stoma.
  • Patients who were likely to be self-sufficient in managing their stoma pouching system after surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Those who undergo emergency surgery

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: standard postoperative education.
These patients will receive stoma care and stoma education beginning on postoperative day1.
Behavioral: Rehabilitation with stoma appliance
The rehabilitation group will receive preoperative stoma education in addition, a water-filled ostomy appliance (50-100 ml) will be attached 48 hours before surgery. These pouches will not be removed until surgery, and the EST nurse will teach the patients preoperatively how to manage the ostomy appliance with similar standards as described in the usual postoperative stoma care.
Experimental: preoperative rehabilitation group
The rehabilitation group will receive preoperative stoma education in addition
Behavioral: Rehabilitation with stoma appliance

These pouches will not be removed until surgery, and the EST nurse will teach the patients preoperatively how to manage the ostomy appliance with similar standards as described in the usual postoperative stoma care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
duration of hospital stay
Time Frame: 1 year
Compare duration from surgery until independent stoma self-care between preoperative rehabilitation using a stoma appliance group and traditional care group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
