RESUMO Este estudo objetivou compreender as experiências vividas por seis pacientes submetidos à bolsa de colostomia após cirurgia de câncer colorretal. A metodologia foi a "Ground Theory" e o referencial teórico do interacionismo simbólico, que leva à formação de categorias, subcategorias e categoria central. Os dados foram coletados sistemática e simultaneamente, até a saturação teórica. A necessidade da bolsa de colostomia revelou sentimentos que fizeram emergir três fenômenos: sendo surpreendida no pós-operatório; tendo que aceitar a convivência com colostomia e repensando a vida. A análise do processo levou ao desenvolvimento da categoria central CÂNCER COLORRETAL: ENTRE O SOFRI-MENTO E O REPENSAR NA VIDA. PALAVRAS CHAVE:Colostomia; neoplasias colorretais; qualidade de vida; pesquisa qualitativa.ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of six patients subjected to using a colostomy bag following surgery for colorectal cancer. The methodology used was the Ground Theory with the theoretical framework of symbolic interaction, which leads to the formation of categories, subcategories and a core category. The data were collected systematically and simultaneously up to the point of theoretical saturation. The need for a colostomy bag revealed feelings that demonstrate three phenomena: feeling surprised postoperatively; having to accept living with a colostomy and rethinking life. The review of the process led to the development of the core category COLORECTAL CANCER: BETWEEN THE SUFFERING AND THE REAPPRAISAL OF LIFE.
