Health locus of control, body image and self-esteem in individuals with intestinal stoma

Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of people with ostomy and the adaptive domains of Roy's theory: A cross-sectional study

INTRODUCTION

The adaptation of people with ostomies may be associated with and affected by sociodemographic and clinical factors. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and the adaptation of people with an intestinal stoma.

METHOD

An analytical study, carried out through an interview with 200 patients with ostomy for five months. For that, it was applied to scale for the level of adaptation of ostomy patients to measure the physiological domains, self-concept, role function and interdependence and a questionnaire was used in which sociodemographic and clinical information. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed to test the study hypothesis.

RESULTS

The study pointed out statistically significant associations with male sex, age group below 60, low education level, Stoma time less than one year, below one minimum wage, temporary permanence criteria and presence of complications relation to low scores of adaptation.

CONCLUSIONS

The association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with the measured adaptive modes provides important information for the planning of nursing care and other care providers, since it directs actions to the aspects that give greater adaptive difficulty to people with stomas and which are the focus of care nursing to this clientele.

Systematic review with meta-analysis: Current and emerging models of preoperative psychological preparation for individuals undergoing stoma surgery

OBJECTIVE

Stoma surgery is a profoundly life changing event that can result in a range of negative psychological and mental health outcomes, often requiring significant postoperative adaption. While postoperative avenues of support to address these outcomes exist, there remains a lack of preoperative psychological preparation for surgical candidates in standard models of care. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to examine the current and emerging models of psychological preparation available to stoma surgery candidates during the preoperative period.

METHODS

A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Emcare, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SCOPUS was conducted. All studies examining the effects of preoperative psychological interventions targeting postoperative psychological adjustment and/or mental health outcomes for individuals planning to undergo or who had undergone stoma surgery were included.

RESULTS

Overall, 15 publications meeting inclusion criteria were identified, encompassing 1565 total participants. Intervention types ranged from psychoeducational, counselling, and practical based skills, examining the postoperative outcomes of anxiety, depression, quality of life, adjustment, self-efficacy, and systematic improvements to standard models of care. Five studies examining postoperative anxiety were included for meta-analysis, demonstrating an overall significant effect (SMD = -1.13, 95% CI -1.96 to -0.30, p = .008). Due to the high level of heterogeneity between remaining studies, articles examining postoperative outcomes other than anxiety were synthesised in narrative form.

CONCLUSION

Despite some promising advancements in the field, there remains insufficient evidence to judge the overall effectiveness of current and emerging models of preoperative psychological preparation on postoperative psychological outcomes for individuals facing stoma surgery.

Autocuidado de pessoas com estomias intestinais

Objetivo: compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas com estomias intestinais a partir das vivências de autocuidado. Método: trata-se de estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado com 30 pessoas com estomias intestinais, em um Centro Especializado em Reabilitação no Rio Grande do Norte, de abril a junho de 2017. A entrevista semiestruturada foi gravada, transcrita e os dados coletados foram analisados seguindo os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: a partir das vivências de autocuidado mencionadas pelos participantes, emergiram as dificuldades agrupadas nas categorias: higiene e manuseio do equipamento coletor; necessidades de cuidado com a pele periestomal; equipamento coletor e os episódios de vazamento; convívio social após a estomia; dificuldades e potencialidades da assistência de Enfermagem. As pessoas com estomias apresentaram dificuldades relacionadas à limpeza do estoma, recorte do equipamento coletor, aparecimento de complicações periestomiais, vazamentos de efluentes, afastamento de atividades sociais e informações insuficientes sobre o autocuidado. Considerações Finais: diante das dificuldades encontradas, torna-se necessário refletir sobre as mudanças nas práticas assistenciais para desenvolver o autocuidado da população com estomias, as quais podem se beneficiar do uso de tecnologias educativas instituídas desde o período pré-operatório. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão das experiências de autocuidado vivenciadas por essa população a serem abordadas pela enfermagem na promoção da educação em saúde. Além disso, espera-se que o estudo subsidie pesquisas com novas estratégias para fortalecer a assistência a esse público e o avanço da ciência de Enfermagem.

Factors associated to quality of life in people with intestinal stomas

OBJECTIVE

To assess the quality of life of people with intestinal stoma and its association with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

METHOD

Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted with people with intestinal stoma. An instrument was used for sociodemographic and clinical characterization: COH-QOL-OQ, validated in Brazil.

RESULTS

The sample included 152 people with stomas. There were significant differences among all dimensions (p-value < 0.01) of quality of life. The dimension spiritual well-being had the highest mean, with 6.69 (±1.56), followed by the psychological well-being dimension, 5.00 (±1.94), social well-being, 4.63 (±1.83), and physical well-being, 4.54 (±1.77). Marital status, religion, type of stoma, and permanence had statistically significant associations with dimensions of quality of life (p-value < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The assessment of quality of life in people with intestinal stoma presented lower scores in the physical, social, and psychological dimensions. There was an association between better quality of life scores and people with definitive ileostomy, in a domestic partnership and practicing other religions.

INDICADORES SOCIODEMOGRÁFICOS E DE SANEAMENTO E MORADIA NA QUALIDADE DE VIDA DE PESSOAS COM ESTOMIA

Objetivo:Analisar as relações entre a qualidade de vida (QV) de pessoas com estomia com indicadores sociodemográficos, clínicos, de estilo de vida, de saneamento e moradia. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra de 106 indivíduos com estomia entrevistados de maio a dezembro de 2019. Utilizou-se um questionário sociodemográfico e clínico e o City of Hope - Quality of Life - Ostomy Questionnary. Resultados: O bem-estar espiritual (7,71±1,09) foi o domínio com melhor performance. A QV não diferiu entre homens e mulheres (p = 0,372), porém esteve associada à escolaridade (< 0,001) e renda familiar (p = 0,025), ao diabetes (p = 0,008) e etilismo (p = 0,044), às condições da água para consumo (p < 0,001), ao destino do lixo (p = 0,021), em ter energia elétrica (p = 0,034), ao tipo de moradia (p = 0,026) e ao número de cômodos (p = 0,023) e tipo de cobertura da habitação (p = 0,021). Conclusão: Piores indicadores socioeconômicos, de saneamento básico e moradia, parecem impactar negativamente a QV de pessoas com estomias.

SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC AND SANITATION AND HOUSING INDICATORS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PEOPLE WITH STOMA

Objectives: To analyze the relationships between the quality of life (QOL) of people with stoma with sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, sanitation, and housing indicators. Method: Cross-sectional study with a sample of 106 individuals with stoma interviewed from May to December 2019. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and the City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire were used. Results: Spiritual well-being (7.71 +/-1.09) was the best performing domain. Quality of life did not differ between men and women (p = 0.372), but was associated with education (< 0.001) and family income (p = 0.025), diabetes (p = 0.008) and alcoholism (p = 0.044), drinking water conditions (p < 0.001), garbage disposal (p = 0.021), having electricity (p = 0.034), housing type (p = 0.026), number of rooms (p = 0.023), and housing coverage (p = 0.021). Conclusion: worse socioeconomic, sanitation, and housing indicators appear to negatively impact the QOL of people with stomata.

Self-care of elderly people with ostomy by colorectal cancer

Objective To identify in literature the scientific production about self-care in elderly people with ostomies by colorectal cancer.

Method Integrative review, performed with the descriptors “self-care”, “ostomy” and “elderly/aged” with the Boolean operator AND in the following databases: SCOPUS, CINAHL, MEDLINE, LILACS and COCHRANE. For the theoretical basis, Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory was used.

Results A total of 533 papers were found, however, after applying the eligibility criteria, 16 studies composed the final sample of the review.

Conclusion The nurse is one of the professionals closest to the person with the stoma and his family, and should act as a link between the elderly person, the family and the multi-professional health team. In this sense, health professionals, especially nurses, should be trained and competent in assisting the diverse demands of care of this specific population, so that it is effective, resolutive, integral and, above all, humanized, aiming at the improvement of quality of life.

Relationship between adaptation and self-esteem in addicted female prisoners in the south east of Iran

Background Reduction of the adaptation and self-esteem can be the consequence of opium addiction and imprisonment. Drug use causes inappropriate behaviors in women, which are quite different from those in men. Social deviations, prostitution, high-risk sexual behaviors, abortion, divorce and imprisonment followed by loss of self-esteem are the consequences of women's addiction. The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between adaptation and self-esteem in addicted female prisoners. Methods In this descriptive analytical study, 130 addicted female prisoners were selected from a prison in the south east of Iran using census sampling. The data were collected by a demographic questionnaire, the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale and the bell adjustment inventory (BAI). Results According to the results, women's adaptation fell into the 'very unsatisfactory' range. The highest mean was related to the emotional dimension, while the lowest mean was in terms of the health dimension. In total, 96.4% of the participating women had low adaptation. The mean total self-esteem fell into the low range; in fact, 84.6% of the women had a low self-esteem. The results showed no significant relationships between adaptation and self-esteem in these women; however, self-esteem was significantly and inversely related to health and emotional adaptation. Conclusion The findings showed that the majority of the women had unsatisfactory adaptation as well as poor self-esteem. No significant relationships were observed between adaptation and self-esteem in the addicted female prisoners.
