Effect of a Stoma Care Training Belt on Stoma Care Skills, Adjustment, Anxiety and Satisfaction in Intestinal Stoma Patients: Randomized Controlled Study.
Trial report in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06391398 (The Impact of Education Using a Stoma Care Training Belt on Care Skills, Adaptation, Anxiety, and Patient Satisfaction in Patients Undergoing Intestinal Stoma Creation), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
aimThe aim of this study is to develop a novel Stoma Care Training Belt for patients undergoing intestinal stoma surgery and to evaluate the effects of preoperative training with the belt on stoma care skills, stoma adjustment, anxiety, and satisfaction with education.
designA randomized controlled trial.
methodsThis study was conducted between May 2024 and April 2025 in the general surgery departments of two university hospitals. A total of 170 patients scheduled to undergo intestinal stoma surgery were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received preoperative training using the Stoma Care Training Belt in addition to standard clinical care, or the control group, which received standard clinical care alone. Outcome measures were assessed on the day before surgery, the day of discharge, and at 5, 15, and 30 days after discharge.
resultsCompared with the control group, patients in the intervention group had significantly higher stoma care skill and stoma adjustment scores at all postoperative follow-ups, significantly lower anxiety scores from discharge through postdischarge day 30, and significantly higher satisfaction with education at the preoperative and discharge assessments.
conclusionsThe Stoma Care Training Belt is a novel, ergonomic, wearable educational device that allows patients to practice stoma care safely during the preoperative period and to keep the belt on during daily activities, thereby promoting familiarity with stoma management and supporting skill acquisition without direct adhesive exposure. Preoperative education with a new Stoma Care Training Belt may increase patients' stoma care skills, stoma adjustment and satisfaction, and decrease anxiety levels. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: Incorporating the Stoma Care Training Belt into routine preoperative nursing education may provide a practical, evidence-based approach to improving patients' stoma care skills, reducing anxiety, and supporting earlier adaptation and more independent self-care after surgery. IMPACT: What Problem Did the Study Address? This study addressed the limited availability of structured and evidence-based preoperative stoma care education interventions designed to improve patients' self-care skills, adjustment, and outcomes, including anxiety and satisfaction. What Were the Main Findings? Preoperative education using the Stoma Care Training Belt was associated with better stoma care skills, better stoma adjustment, lower anxiety, and higher satisfaction with education compared with standard care alone. Where and on Whom Will the Research Have an Impact ? The findings are relevant to nurses providing perioperative stoma education and to patients undergoing intestinal stoma surgery, with potential to improve patient preparation, self-care competence, and adaptation after discharge.
