“…The effect of demographic variables on overall quality of life and adjustment of stoma patients provided a different perspective on outcomes as a result of the differences in participants included in prior studies (Chao et al, ; Karabulut et al, ; Lai et al, ; Li et al, ). The demographic attributes in this study did not have significant effects on overall scores of stress.…”

“…The results of previous studies presented illustrate that potential contribution to the psychosocial adjustment depends on a number of factors, including age, gender, marital status, educational level, disease duration, stoma nature, stoma duration, cancer stage, income change after surgery, self-rated disease severity, time since surgery and spiritual well-being (Chao, Tsai, Livneh, Lee, & Hsieh, 2010;Karabulut, Dinc, & Karadag, 2014;Li et al, 2012). Additionally, in one study, the quality of life of 120 Canadian colostomy and ileostomy patients was surveyed based on the Stoma-QOL questionnaire and demographic attributes did not appear to have a strong influence on Stoma-QOL (Lai et al, 2018). Patients' and their family members' antipathy towards their stoma and spouse's acceptance of the ostomy were positively correlated with adjustment level in colostomy patients (Hu et al, 2014).…”

Stress and other factors associated with colorectal cancer outpatients with temporary colostomies

This study investigated stress and other factors associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) outpatients with temporary colostomies in Taiwan. Temporary colostomies have been incorporated as a defecation alternative to maintain physical function and are accompanied by chemotherapy/radiotherapy in CRC patients. A cross‐sectional study was conducted, and a convenience sampling approach was adopted to recruit 110 discharged CRC patients with temporary colostomies from a medical centre in southern Taiwan. The mean score of the Stress of Colostomy Patients Scale was 66.49 (out of 120). Demographic attributes were found to have an impact on different stress types. Stress of changes in familial and social interaction was affected by age, employment status, educational level and colostomy assistant caregiver. The stress of colostomy care was impacted by the factor of employment status, and the stress of changes of self‐concept was impacted by the factors of educational level and self‐perception of disease. The results provide post‐operative information regarding stress and stress types among CRC patients with temporary colostomies, serve as a reference for clinical assessment, practice and care, and generate up‐to‐date knowledge and comprehension of learning how to live with a temporary colostomy.

“…It has been used to evaluate stoma-related QOL in other non-European populations. 23,[31][32][33][34][35][36] Because the Stoma-QOL has a validated Spanish translation 29 and specifically measures the HRQOL related to living with an ostomy, we chose this instrument for our study.…”

The aim of this study was to determine ostomy-related quality of life (QOL) in Hispanic Puerto Ricans living with an enteral stoma and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We analyzed possible associations between QOL and sex, diagnosis, and type and duration of stoma. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS AND SETTINGS:The sample comprised 102 adults living with IBD and an ostomy; 60 of 101 (59.4%) were males, 44 of 102 (43.1%) had Crohn's disease, and 60 of 102 (58.9%) had an ileostomy. Participants were receiving care at the Center for IBD of the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico, between January 2012 and December 2014. METHODS: One-hundred two adults Puerto Ricans with IBD completed the Stoma Quality of Life (Stoma-QOL) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions for categorical variables and summary statistics for continuous variables. Independent-group t test and one-way analysis of variance, with the post hoc Tukey test, were used to determine group differences for the variables of age, sex, civil status, time living with an ostomy, type of ostomy, and IBD diagnosis. Results were analyzed according to the number of responses to each variable; the denominator varied for some variables. RESULTS: Having an ostomy for more than 40 months was significantly associated with a higher QOL score (59.0 vs 50.7; P = .05). Males had significantly higher scores than females (59.94 vs 50.23; P = .0019). Age, IBD diagnosis, and type of ostomy were not associated with the Stoma-QOL scores. CONCLUSIONS: The achievement (over 40 months) to attain improved ostomy-related QOL suggests that early training in the care of the ostomy and advanced planning when leaving home may enhance ostomy-related QOL. Lower QOL in women may represent an opportunity for a sex-specific educational intervention.

“…The sample size for the psychometric analysis was determined based on the recommendation of a sample of 10 participants per item (Lai et al, 2018) and in consideration of missing responses. Two hundred twenty-three eligible patients were recruited, and 213 of them completed the questionnaires carefully.…”

“…The Stoma‐QOL is a reliable and effective measuring instrument used worldwide (Crespo et al, 2010; Lai et al, 2018; Liao & Qin, 2014). However, currently, there is a lack of evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the Chinese version.…”

Aim:The purpose of this study was to translate the Stoma-quality of life into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties in Chinese patients.Background: Quality of life is an important issue for patients with colostomy, and its appropriate and precise measurement is beneficial to promoting better care. The Stoma-quality of life questionnaire has been widely used; however, the validity and reliability of its Chinese version has not been determined. Design:A cross-sectional validation study was conducted. Methods:We translated the Stoma-quality of life into Chinese using standardized methods. Then it was psychometrically tested on a convenience sample of 513 patients with colostomy. Construct validity was evaluated via exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was measured with Cronbach's alpha and the split-half Spearman-Brown coefficient. Results:The content validity, the Cronbach's α coefficient and the Spearman-Brown split-half reliability coefficient indicated adequate validity and reliability. The exploratory factor analysis yielded four common factors, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.5%. Moreover, the confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit. Conclusion:This study confirmed that the Chinese version of Stoma-quality of life is an effective and reliable measurement for evaluating the quality of life of patients with colostomy.
