Aim Living with a stoma can greatly influence quality of life. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify all patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) assessing health related quality of life (HRQoL) or similar constructs related to an intestinal stoma and to evaluate their level of validation. Methods The study was reported in line with PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO prior to the study. Eligible studies were any study investigating psychometric properties of a stoma‐specific PROM. The databases MedLine, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Libraries were searched for eligible studies. Studies were screened on title and abstract, then full‐text for eligibility. Data extraction on the study populations, PROM characteristics, psychometric properties as well as quality assessment using the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist was performed. Results In total, 40 studies were included concerning the development and/or validation of 21 PROMs. For most PROMs, few psychometric properties were assessed. In general, quality of content validity was poor, quality of construct validity and reliability was good. Assessment of responsiveness was lacking. Conclusion This systematic review offers an overview of existing PROMs measuring stoma‐related HRQoL and their psychometric properties. A large number of PROMs exist and their measures overlap considerably. The PROMs generally have a low level of validation, emphasizing the need for future studies to further validate existing PROMs, rather than developing new ones.

The study aimed to examine the effects of the quality of life on the adaptation of people with an intestinal stoma. Cross-sectional study with 152 people with an ostomy. Three instruments were used: the sociodemographic and clinical characterization, Scale for the Level of Adaptation of Ostomy Patients, and City of Hope Quality of Life - Ostomy Questionnaire. The multiple linear regression model, multivariate technique, and cluster were used. The determination coefficient showed that 94.1% of the variability of the Adaptation scores is explained by the dimensions of quality of life. It can be seen that the highest standardized coefficients are the psychological dimension (β = .386) and the social dimension (β = .365), in which they produce the greatest changes in the average adaptation scores. The psychological and social well-being dimensions are the ones that most contribute to raising the levels of adaptation.
Introduction Postoperative patients with ostomies experience significant changes in their lives as a result of the device implantation. Self-care is important to improve their health outcomes. Telehealth provides an opportunity to expand access to self-care education. Aim This is a multicenter, non-inferiority randomized, open-label, controlled trial to evaluate the non-inferiority of a telehealth intervention to the standard in-person approach in improving self-care behaviors. Methods and analysis Three hundred and eighty-four patients aged ≥ 18 years, with a recently placed ostomy, no stomal/peristomal complications, and documented cognitive integrity will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either a telehealth intervention (four remote educational sessions) or a standard educational approach (four in-person sessions) delivered in outpatient settings. Every session (remote and in-person) will occur on Days 25, 32, 40, and 60 after discharge. Follow-ups will occur 1, 3, and 6 months after the last intervention session. Primary outcome is self-care maintenance measured using the Ostomy Self-care Index (OSCI). Secondary outcomes include self-care monitoring, self-care management, self-efficacy (OSCI), quality of life (Stoma specific quality of Life), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), adjustment (Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23), stomal and peristomal complication rates, healthcare services utilization, mobility, and number of working days lost. Analyses will be performed per intention-to-treat and per protocol. Ethics and dissemination This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the main center (registration number: 119/22). Following completion of the trial, dissemination meetings will be held to share the results of the study with the participants and the health-care team. Adoption of telehealth technologies for ostomy patients can improve service organization by ensuring better integration and continuity of care. If the remote intervention produces comparable effects to the in-person intervention, it would be wise to make telehealth education an alternative treatment for addressing the educational needs of uncomplicated postoperative ostomy patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier number: NCT05796544).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
