“…Because most of these patients have impaired body image recognition, self-esteem, depression, sexual problems, and low psychosocial adaptation [ 19 ], the app provides guidance to alleviate stoma-related psychological symptoms and to stabilize mood through meditation and abdominal respiration; it also assists with self-management [ 18 ]. Ostomy patients may experience difficulties controlling stool, which limits their ability to engage in social activities [ 13 ]. A guide for maintaining social function; engaging in travel, transportation, and sex; and returning to daily work will assist ostomy patients in their daily social activities is also provided ( Table 2 ) [ 1 , 15 ].…”

“…Furthermore, patients with a permanent or temporary stoma require detailed information regarding the stoma, rapid access to medical staff, management of fear related to the stoma, and explanations of examination and treatment information [ 12 ]. They also complain of difficulties eating, managing their stool, and engaging in social activities [ 13 ]. Therefore, the four components (physical, psychological, social, and spiritual programming) included in the CCOSMTP model can be similarly applied to ostomy patients in Korea.…”

Purpose: The use of an ostomy for urination and defecation leads to reduced quality of life. Although many ostomy management strategies are needed, such strategies are often implemented by patients. Thus, there is a need for a home health care service platform that can be used in ostomy patient management. Methods: We developed an ostomy patient management platform by identifying the needs of patients and medical staff through the Chronic Care Ostomy Self-Management Training Program in the United States and from studies conducted in Korea. Results: The platform encompassed physical management, psychological management, maintenance of social function, spiritual stability, and home medical care. These components were implemented through monitoring, self-care guidance, and a community platform. For the monitoring function, a patient entered their health status in a mobile application (app); the medical staff at the affiliated hospital then monitored the stoma status through a web interface. Conclusion: Our platform allows medical staff to monitor ostomy patients through a web interface and help such patients to fully manage their ostomy at home using an app. We expect that the continued development of patient-oriented functions in our app will allow ostomy patients to experience quality of life improvements.

“…Quality of life (QOL) is an important consideration for CRC survivors, as they may experience a range of physical, emotional, and social challenges. Factors that can impact QOL include pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, ostomy-related changes, and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety [4][5][6][7]. Other factors that can affect QOL include age, gender, and occupation status [8][9][10].…”

Background This study aimed to investigate the differences in inner strength, multiple identities, and quality of life among colorectal cancer survivors, with a focus on gender. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the factors that influence their quality of life. Methods This cross-sectional study included 170 colorectal cancer survivors in Korea. Participants were recruited from an online self-help group for colorectal cancer survivors. Participants were recruited from an online self-help group for survivors of colorectal cancer. Participants were divided into specific groups based on gender for the purpose of examining the differences in study variables, and additional analyses were conducted. The factors influencing their quality of life were identified through multiple regression analysis, without dividing the participants. Results The quality of life for male colorectal cancer survivors was higher than that of female survivors. In terms of inner strength, ‘anguish and searching' was higher in male while ‘connectedness' was higher in female. Inner strength was found to be the most powerful influencing factor on quality of life, after controlling for age and gender. Conclusions This study aimed to determine the significance of inner strength in survivors of colorectal cancer. It enabled a more comprehensive understanding of the quality of life in colorectal cancer survivors by not only focusing on the factors that impact quality of life, but also by examining how these impacts vary based on gender. To improve the quality of life for survivors of colorectal cancer, it is crucial to understand the impact of factors such as gender and inner strength. Additionally, it is crucial to establish personalized interventions that specifically target their unique characteristics. The inner strength plays an important role in improving the quality of life for survivors of colorectal cancer. This study suggests that inner strength is applicable to male cancer survivors and supports the inner strength theory.
