WeChat platform continuity care significantly enhances outcomes for colostomy patients, improving complication rates and self-care abilities. In a comparative study, patients using WeChat had a lower complication rate (12.5% vs 25.0%) and shorter hospital stays (12.0 vs 14.8 days). Self-care abilities and nursing adherence were also higher in the WeChat group. Additionally, patient satisfaction and quality of life scores improved, alongside a reduction in postoperative recurrence rates to 3.1% compared to 8.9%.
