To examine spiritual quality of life (QOL) of veterans with intestinal ostomies.
Mixed-method cross-sectional.
Male veterans with total scores in the upper (n = 59) and lower (n = 61) quartiles of the City of Hope Quality-of-Life-Ostomy survey provided spiritual QOL data. Analyses included chi-square and analysis of variance with significance set at p < .05. Content analysis was used to explicate narratives and focus groups.
The high spiritual QOL group was more likely to be married, older, and report more years since surgery (each p < .0001). Upper quartile participants had more favorable scores for several spiritual QOL domains (all p < .0001). Qualitative comments reflected high or low total QOL scores.
Spiritual QOL is influenced by an intestinal stoma. Qualitative comments lend insight into the meaning of spirituality items. Findings can assist in the provision of holistic care in this population.
研究肠道造口退伍军人的精神生活质量(QOL)。
混合方法横断面研究。
希望之城生活质量造口调查总分处于上四分位数(n = 59)和下四分位数(n = 61)的男性退伍军人提供了精神生活质量数据。分析包括卡方检验和方差分析,显著性水平设定为p <.05。采用内容分析法对叙述和焦点小组进行阐释。
精神生活质量高的组更有可能已婚、年龄较大且报告手术时间更长(均p <.0001)。上四分位数参与者在几个精神生活质量领域的得分更有利(均p <.0001)。定性评论反映了生活质量总分的高低。
精神生活质量受肠道造口影响。定性评论有助于深入了解精神性项目的意义。研究结果可为该人群提供整体护理提供帮助。
