“…Second, reducing self‐disgust and stigma may be a useful strategy for improving a patient's ability to manage the stoma. Recent experimental work has shown that dispositional mindfulness encourages people to pay more attention to the present moment, which inspires them to redefine the meanings of disaster, life, and the self and establish more trust in their own strength (Kabat‐Zinn, 2003; Xu, Ding, Goh, & An, 2018). However, research on the effective regulation and treatment of self‐disgust and stigma is still in its infancy and there are plentiful opportunities for future work in this field.…”

Aim: This paper is a report of a study exploring the relationship between stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy in patients with colostomy and whether selfdisgust and stigma play mediating roles in this relationship. Design: A cross-sectional survey design. Method: In all, 476 participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital and completed structured, anonymous, self-report measures of stoma acceptance, self-disgust, stigma, and stoma care self-efficacy between January 2016-March 2017. Results: Stoma acceptance was significantly negatively associated with personal disgust (r = −.640, p<.001), behavioural disgust (r = −.384, p<.001), and stigma (r = −.309, p<.001) and significantly positively associated with stoma care self-efficacy (r = .689, p<.001). Furthermore, regression-based mediation modelling showed that personal disgust and stigma had significant mediating effects on stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy. Conclusion: We demonstrated, for the first time, that emotional responses (self-disgust and stigma) play important roles in the association between stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy. Addressing concerns about emotional disorder should become part of the routine care for patients with stoma. Impact: Patients with colostomy must cope with many challenges and undergo profound changes in daily life. Acceptance of the existence of the stoma and effective management of the stoma can aid patients in the return to a full and active life. Illness acceptance and psychological states have been widely reported to be correlates of the ability to successfully reconstitute a meaning of life, but these have not been specifically explored in patients with colostomy. This study examined the effect of stoma acceptance on stoma care self-efficacy with the mediation role of self-disgust and stigma. Evidence of the relationship between illness acceptance and self-efficacy could offer practitioners to consider emotional factors like self-disgust and stigma when aiming to improve stoma care and management.

“…Longitudinal observational studies show that some survivors can reach PTG without formal interventions.This might be influenced by existing resources in their social environment, and these contribute to the development of PTG. 21,22 Mental health nurse support is also needed by individuals after experiencing a traumatic event as a form of attention and effort to grow PTG. An individual can achieve meaningfulness after he/she can manage the impact of trauma on his/her psychological condition.…”

Exploration of posttraumatic growth (PTG) experiences in adolescent survivors of earthquakes, tsunamis, or liquefaction are needed by nurses to maximize the potential for recovery and growth of adolescents from trauma after natural disasters. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenology approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 adolescent survivors and were analyzed using the Colaizzi method. The results of this study have two main themes: trauma becoming the basis for realizing the meaning of life and escaping from disaster as a second chance to live better. PTG is a positive change that needs to be pursued. Escaping from disaster and realizing the meaning of life are the key points to get success in pursuing PTG to live a better life. In addition, support from mental health nurses through cognitive therapy (CT) and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) are needed to increase the PTG.

“…There is study evidence that dispositional mindfulness moderated the relationship between depression and posttraumatic growth after a traumatic event. Xu et al (2018) have found that for individuals with higher dispositional mindfulness, their depression was associated with more posttraumatic growth, while the individuals with lower dispositional mindfulness showed no such association (Xu, et al,2018). This suggests that individuals high in dispositional mindfulness possess the potential to benefit from the process of adaptive coping in response to depression following a traumatic experience.…”

The study aimed at investigating the effective trauma coping strategies among Catholic religious men and women survivors of kidnap in Southern Ecclesiastical Provinces of Nigeria. It had a phenomenological design. Twenty-one survivors of which twelve were males and nine females were interviewed in a focus group using a semi-structured interview guide. A thematic analysis was of the data showed emerging themes of Relating with more people, having a wider social support network, not paying too much attention to the fact that they experienced the kidnapping, finding a rational and realistic explanation to the situation, being open to learning positive lessons from a very difficult situation, being compassionate towards their abductors, actively looking forward to ways to replace the losses they have encountered, plunging themselves into the depth of their prayers, praying for their abductors, and receiving some kind of professional counseling or therapeutic support have helped them to cope and navigate the path that leads to posttraumatic growth. Other themes that emerged from participants who seem to be struggling and are still traumatized are Inadequate understanding of their trauma by their conferrers, poor understanding of mental health issues by their superiors, fear of the costs of therapy, and that the recommendations of counselors and therapists are not often respected. The study recommends that Catholic Institutes of religious men and women, family members, and the society at large can incorporate these positive coping strategies into the trauma intervention and care of the survivors of kidnapping for them to navigate the path of posttraumatic growth.
