About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn if the stoma boot camp is a good and effective way to help people adapt to life with a stoma after surgery.

Read the detailed description

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the USA. The primary treatment for invasive bladder cancer is a radical cystectomy (RC) with a urinary diversion. Patients that have this procedure must deal with a stoma that requires daily care and manual skills. A stoma is an artificial opening that allows urine to pass from the ureters outside the body. Having a surgery that results in a stoma can dramatically change a person's life.

This study is being done to test a new education session called the stoma boot camp. The session was created to help people deal with changes in their post-surgery life and living with a stoma.

The session requires a one time visit to the study site and lasts about two hours. Participants can bring a support person to the boot camp if they choose. During the two hour session, nurses will provide teaching, counseling, and hands on practice with an artificial stoma.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ostomy adjustment scale

    The Ostomy Adjustment Scale evaluates a person with an ostomy following surgery. The instrument consists of 34 statements. Scores range from a minimum of 34 to a maximum of 204. The higher the score, the better the person's perceived adjustment.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 30 Days After Date of Surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of hospital stay

    Measured as the date of admission to discharge.

    Measured: Date of Admission to Date of Discharge, up to 7 days

  2. Count of un-planned stoma-related interventions in community after discharge

    Unplanned stoma-related interventions will include any admission to any hospital after being discharged, from the time the patient goes home up until 30 days after the date of the surgery, along with any stoma related visit outside of the normal follow-up pathway to a clinic or any stoma related phone calls received by urology or ostomy staff.

    Measured: 30 Days After Date of Surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stoma Boot Camp in people with Stoma Ileostomy, run by University of Kansas Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ostomy adjustment scale (time frame: Change from Baseline to 30 Days After Date of Surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2020.
