Telehealth Intervention for Ostomy Self-Management for Colorectal and Bladder Cancer
This study is testing a Telehealth Intervention for Ostomy Self-Management (Periop-OSMT) for people with colorectal or bladder cancer who are having surgery to create an ostomy (a surgical opening in the abdomen for waste). This intervention includes being matched with a peer ostomate (someone who also has an ostomy), group telehealth sessions led by nurses and peer ostomates to build self-management skills, and a resource manual. This is compared to standard care from your oncology team. The study aims to see if this telehealth program helps you feel more confident in managing your ostomy. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have colorectal or bladder cancer, and are scheduled for surgery that includes creating an intestinal stoma (fecal or urinary). The study's current status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 150 participants.

What this trial measures
- Self-Efficacy for Ostomy Self-ManagementAt 13 weeks post-randomization
Will be measured by the Self-Efficacy to Perform Self-management Behaviors Scale, an outcome measure for Chronic Disease Management Interventions, this scale represents 8 domains: physical activity, information seeking, support, communication with HC providers, ostomy management, social and recreational, symptom management, and depression. Higher scores reflect better self-efficacy. Study arm differences at 13 weeks will be assessed via repeated measures linear regression models with adjustment for baseline value of the outcome and stratification factors including cancer type (bladder versus colorectal) and whether the patient has a caregiver.
