Ostomy Simulation for Patient Education Prior to Urologic Bowel Diversion Surgeries
Recruiting
This research is being to see if a new 3D simulation model is helpful in teaching patients about care of their stomas after surgery. We expect that people will be in this research study for 3-6 months depending on the timing of surgery and postoperative visits. The number of preoperative and postoperative visits, physician exams, scans, X-rays, and laboratory tests for preparation for surgery or after the surgery does not change because of this study.
Inclusion Criteria:
• at least 18 years old
• having bowel diversion urologic surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
• prior or current ostomy
• women who are pregnant
• cognitively unable to care for own stoma
