Quality of life of stomized people: an integrative review / Qualidade de vida de pessoas estomizadas: revisão integrativa / Calidad de vida de estomizados: una revisión integradora

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the scientific literature on the quality of life of people stomized. Methodology: "stoma" (ostomy) and "quality of life" (quality of life): Articles published with the following descriptors were selected. Criteria for inclusion include: articles related to the topic, published in full in English, Spanish and Portuguese, from January 2008 to December 2012. Results: Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria and the predominant level of evidence IV. In the presence of a stoma or one faces real and symbolic losses that cause several changes in the process of living and stand out as guiding axes of the quality of family life, social integration, work, autonomy and social relations. Conclusion: It is essential to the implementation and permanence of a reflective multidisciplinary team, and grounded in holistic assessment, aimed at social reintegration and providing coping strategies and adaptation of their new condition of life. Descriptors: Ostomy. Quality of life. Nursing.

Effect of circular dances on quality of life of intestinal ostomized persons: A randomized controlled trial

“…They also state that economic issues may affect the ostomized patients' QoL. [2,6,[18][19][20] In this re-search, however, a small part of the sample with a better level of education and higher income showed a higher QoL. For the variable work, in both groups, there was prevalence of retired patients who has a definitive ostomy.…”

“…Thus, the divorced, widowed or single individuals may present a worse physical and mental health than the married patients. [4,[17][18][19][20] The familiar conviviality was prevalent in both groups, being a key factor for improving the quality of life once that family is perceived as a source of support, from where patients obtain help to deal with the ostomy and with their physical and emotional needs, being all connected for the affectivity bound. [2,5,18,19] Investigations highlight the relation between education level and QoL, being that persons with higher level of education present a better QoL.…”

“…[2,6] The use of irrigation is a method free of side effects that allows the intestinal control and benefit the social and parental relationships, increasing the ostomized persons' QoL. [2,6,20,21]…”

“…It is emphasized that, besides the causal factor being important to define the type of stomomy, this is also the condition to decide if its permanence will be provisional or definitive. 2 It should be noted that, although there is frequent knowledge of this type of surgical intervention, and that the scientific literature highlights it as clinically relevant, there are still very few studies and epidemiological data on the quantitative use of stomata, and this is, mainly, due to the failures of systematized information records and data crossing. In this sense, it is indirectly inferred that intestinal stomies are performed with greater incidence for the treatment of intestinal neoplasias, being the third type of cancer more common among men and the second type in women, being estimated, for Brazil, in 2018, that there were 16,660 new cases of colon and rectum cancer in men and 17,620 in women.…”
