“…4 Numerous studies have reported that all domains of quality of life were significantly influenced by ostomy-related problems, with social well-being being the most strongly affected domain. 28,32,33 Our finding indicating that social well-being was the most problematic area of quality of life is consistent with previous studies conducted in Iranian, 32 Chinese, 33 Croatian, 28 and even Korean 34 CRC patients with ostomies. Similar to a 2020 study by Konjevoda and colleagues, 28 our results highlighted poorer outcomes for patients' psychological and social well-being compared with their physical and spiritual well-being.…”

Background Little research has examined the moderating influence of posttraumatic growth (PTG) on the relationship between social support and quality of life. Objectives This study examined the relationship between social support and quality of life by the level of PTG in colorectal cancer patients with ostomies. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, colorectal cancer patients with ostomies (n = 140) were recruited using convenience sampling. The City of Hope Quality of Life–Ostomy, the Multidimensional Scale of Social Support, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory measured quality of life, social support, and PTG, respectively. Results Social support and PTG were positively related to psychological and social well-being. Higher social support was associated with better psychological and social well-being. Posttraumatic growth moderated the relationship between psychological and social well-being. At a low and moderate level of PTG, social support was more strongly associated with psychological and social well-being, whereas at high levels, this association was not significant. Conclusions Findings highlight the significance of social support to improve the quality of life for colorectal cancer patients with an ostomy, particularly those with low levels of PTG. Implications for Practice Screening for patients’ positive cognitive adaptations while living with an ostomy could identify those who might need further social support to improve their quality of life. Further, intensive social support programs might promote the quality of life for colorectal patients with an ostomy, which was found to be effective for those with low levels of PTG.

“…QoL, along with relevant sociodemographic and medical characteristics, were assessed using the City of Hope Quality of Life Questionnaire for a Patient With an Ostomy (QOL-O; Grant et al, 2012). The two-part, 90-question QOL-O has been shown to be a valid, reliable, and reducible tool in the U.S., Croatian, and Iranian settings (Anaraki et al, 2014; Grant et al, 2004; Konjevoda et al, 2020). The first section of the QOL-O contains 47 closed- or open-ended questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, employment, sexual activity, psychological support, clothing, diet, and daily ostomy care.…”

Background Interruption of gastrointestinal continuity through surgical formation of a stoma can be lifesaving. However, it is also typically associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Although past research has investigated QoL among people living with a stoma, no known studies have investigated stoma-related QoL, specifically among nonmetropolitan residents who may experience distinct health issues compared with their metropolitan counterparts. Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the level of and factors associated with QoL among people living with a stoma in nonmetropolitan Australia. Methods In a cross-sectional survey, 678 adults with colostomy, ileostomy, and/or urostomy and with membership in a regional Victorian stoma association were given the City of Hope Quality of Life Questionnaire for a Patient With an Ostomy (QOL-O). Total QoL score was calculated and described before categorization into quintiles. Patient factors associated with quintiles of QoL were assessed using univariable and multivariable proportional odds ordinal logistic regression, with a 95% confidence interval excluding 1.00 denoting statistical significance. Results Overall, 311 regional ostomy association members (46%) responded to any QOL-O questions; 285 members responded to >80% of QOL-O questions and contributed data to the study. Their median age was 73 years, and 60% were male. The median total QoL score was 6.9 on a scale of 0–10, where a higher number indicates better QoL. Factors independently associated with better QoL in the multivariable model were working full/part time, no poststoma clothing change, poststoma sexual activity, and older age. Factors independently associated with worse QoL were poststoma depression and a stoma location issue. Discussion People living with a stoma in nonmetropolitan Australia reported moderate-to-high QoL. Better QoL was identified in those who worked, had no poststoma clothing change, were sexually active poststoma, and were older. Worse QoL was seen in those who had poststoma depression and stoma location issues. Healthcare providers could influence stoma-related QoL by identifying risk factors and tailoring interventions toward individuals in nonmetropolitan settings.

Background:Malayalam is the language spoken by 38.5 million people worldwide. There is no specific instrument to measure stoma-related quality of life (QOL) in Malayalam language.Aim:This study was designed to translate and validate the city of hope QOL (COH-QOL) Ostomy Questionnaire, which is a robust tool developed in English language.Materials and Methods:The instrument was translated to Malayalam, abiding by internationally accepted translation methodology. Trained interviewer (first author) administered the questionnaire to patients with stoma, who were visiting the stoma clinic. The reliability of the subscales and the total scores were established by calculating correlation coefficients. Convergent and divergent validity were evaluated by calculating Pearson's correlations of each item with its own scale and other scales.Results:Cronbach's alpha coefficients for all subscales were 0.70 or more. Similarly, split-half coefficients also were more than 0.70, which were acceptable. All subscales met the minimum acceptable standards of convergent and discriminant validity. Discriminant validity of all scores was less than convergent validity which suggests that there was no overlap between various constructs in measuring the same traits. The validation study of Malayalam translation of COH stoma questionnaire has shown that the tool is valid and reliable.Conclusion:The validation study of Malayalam translation of City of Hope Stoma questionnaire has shown the tool is valid and reliable.
