The Progress of Social Isolation in Patients with Enterostomy during Discharge Transition Period

Abstract

In terms of social and psychological health of enterostomy patients during hospitalization and discharge transition period, the degree of social isolation in patients during discharge transition period is higher than that during hospitalization period, which is usually manifested by poor self-perception of body image changes. Self-esteem (shame) frustration, severe negative emotions, low psychosocial adjustment, and other factors are closely related to postoperative complications, coping self-efficacy, social support level, family living conditions, and other influencing factors. This is an important reason why patients are difficult to adapt to ostomy life and low quality of life. At present, it is believed that the social isolation related evaluation scale can be used to understand the status quo of patients with social isolation and provide nursing guidance, so as to better cope with the adverse medical outcomes caused by social isolation.

Comparison of adjustment to a temporary or permanent ostomy using the OAI‐23

“…The willingness to re-engage socially after ostomy surgery is affected by anxiety and depression [12]. Anxiety and the diminished inclination to socialize are driven by the fear of 'being different', loss of self-confidence, uncertainty, frustration, helplessness [23], stigma or greater requirements for assistance with self-care [24,25]. Furthermore, body image disturbance [18,21,26,27] and the physical problems associated with an ostomy, including, flatus noise, pouch leakage, bleeding, peristomal skin complications and odour, all contribute to anxiety, social withdrawal and isolation [18,26,27].…”

The effect of perceived stress on social isolation in young and middle‐aged maintenance haemodialysis patients: A polynomial regression and response surface analysis

“…The correlation between perceived stress and social interaction has been demonstrated in many populations with chronic diseases. Previous researches have shown that perceived stress of patients with psoriasis (Łakuta & Przybyła‐Basista, 2017), breast cancer (Kroenke et al., 2017) and colostomy (Ji et al., 2022) are strongly associated with social anxiety, distress and social avoidance, which are among the manifestations of social isolation (Leigh‐Hunt et al., 2017). Young and middle‐aged MHD patients, as the economic and mental mainstay of the workforce and their families, not only face the stress of work and life, but also the threat of adverse symptoms and the inconvenient hassle of regular dialysis treatment.…”
