Abstract   (1705 Views)
Aims: The emergence of a stoma can negatively impact the quality of life, as it alters both bodily function and appearance, potentially leading to physical, psychological, and social challenges. Understanding the factors affecting the quality of life in adults with stomas is essential for developing strategies to improve their overall well-being. Thus, this study examined all potential factors affecting the quality of life for adults with a stoma.
Information & Methods: To identify primary studies on “quality of life,” “colostomy,” “ileostomy,” and “intestinal stoma,” the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases were searched from 2000 to 2024. Additionally, we manually reviewed publication lists, reference lists, and citations.
Findings: Demographic, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual factors affect the quality of life for individuals with a stoma. These influencing factors can be divided into two main categories, namely personal factors and those related to the stoma itself. The ostomy-related factors were the most consistent category among the studies, demonstrating a strong significance with quality of life. This significance was even stronger when adjusted for socio-demographic factors compared to personal factors.
Conclusion: Demographic, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual factors affect the quality of life for individuals with a stoma.
