“…This fi nding adds to a growing body of evidence that preoperative stoma marking enhances postoperative HRQOL. Our fi ndings are similar to those reported by Person and associates, 27 Mahjoubi and colleagues, 28 and Millan's group, 29 who also reported that patients receiving preoperative stoma marking had lower rates of anxiety and significantly higher HRQOL scores than unmarked patients. However, none of these authors reported a statistically signifi cant difference in HRQOL for subjects who received preoperative education as compared to subjects who did not receive preoperative ostomy teaching.…”

“…Instruments for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics based on variables associated with the literature (8,9,(13)(14)(15) and the COH-QOL-OQ, (10) a specific instrument adapted and validated for the Portuguese language to evaluate the QoL of ostomized patients, were used for data collection. This instrument has 43 items divided into four subscales: physical well-being (items 1 to 11), psychological well-being (items 12 to 24), social well-being (items 25 to 36), and spiritual well-being (items 37 to 43).…”

Objectives: To evaluate the quality of life of people with intestinal stomas and verify its association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with 96 people registered in an ostomy program, with the use of the City of Hope-Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire. Results: The mean score of total QoL in this study was 6.2± 2.8. The highest mean score was found in the spiritual well-being dimension 7.5 (±1.9) and the lowest in the social well-being dimension 5.6 (±2.1). Sociodemographic characteristics (per capita income, education level, religion) and clinical characteristics (length of use and adaptation to the stoma, length of time needed for ostomized people to feel comfortable, difficulty with self-care, and limitation to perform activities of daily living) were associated with total quality of life and its dimensions (p <0.05). Conclusion: Intestinal stomas interfere with quality of life, especially in physical and social dimensions. ResumoObjetivos: Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com estomias intestinais de eliminação e verificar sua associação com características sociodemográficas e clínicas. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo descritivo e transversal realizado com 96 pessoas cadastradas em um Programa de estomizados, utilizando o City of Hope -Quality of Life -Ostomy Questionnary. Resultados: O escore médio de QV total deste estudo foi 6,2 ± 2,8. O maior escore médio foi encontrado no domínio Bem-estar espiritual 7,5 (±1,9) e o menor no domínio Bem-estar social 5,6 (±2,1). As características sociodemográficas (renda per capita, escolaridade, religião) e as características clínicas (permanência e adaptação à estomia, tempo de estomizado para sentir-se confortável, dificuldade para o autocuidado e limitação para realização de atividades diárias) associaram-se a qualidade de vida total e seus domínios (p <0,05). Conclusão: As estomias intestinais de eliminação interferem na qualidade de vida, principalmente nos âmbitos físico e social.

[48–10] Fear of the future and concerns about their relationships with families and friends are among some of the psychological problems these patients face.

“…[1011] Only in one study, the QOL in stoma patients was evaluated without any use of specific tools for measuring the quality of life. [10] Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the QOL of stoma patients undergoing stoma surgery due to cancer or non-cancer diseases using a special measurement tool.…”

Background:Despite efforts to maintain the intestinal tissue and treat gastrointestinal disease, a large number of patients undergo ostomy surgery each year. Using stoma reduces the patient's quality of life (QOL) greatly. Although there are approximately 3000 patients in Iran; there is little information about the impact of stoma on their QOL.Aims:The study aims to evaluate QOL of stoma patients using a special measurement tool.Settings and Design:This survey was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on 102 random samples of stoma patients.Materials and Methods:The City of Hope Quality of Life-Ostomy Questionnaire was used for collecting demographic and clinical information and evaluating QOL.Statistical Analysis Used:Univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of QOL.Results:The mean score for the overall QOL for stoma patients was 7.48 ± 0.9. 70% of patients were dissatisfied with sexual activities. More than half of them reported feelings of depression following stoma surgery. Univariate analysis indicated that factors such as the type of ostomy (temporary/permanent), the underlying disease that had led to the stoma, depression, problem with location of ostomy, and change in clothing style had significant effects on overall QOL and its subscales (P < 0.05). The results of the regression analyses showed that only depression and problem with the location of ostomy were statistically significant in predicting patients’ QOL and its subscales (P < 0.05).Conclusions:The findings demonstrated that living with stoma influences the overall aspect of QOL. Education for the patients and their families is important for improving the stoma patients’ QOL. Sexual and psychological consultation may also improve patients’ QOL.

Quality of Life in Stoma Patients: Appropriate and Inappropriate Stoma Sites

Abstract: A perfectly placed intestinal stoma is strongly related to good QoL for affected patients. From the total of 26 QoL scales assessed in the study, patients with appropriate stoma sites achieved better results in at least 50% of the scales.
