Therapeutic procedures may not only treat disease but also affect patient quality of life. Therefore, quality of life should be measured in order to assess the impact of disease and therapeutic procedures. To identify clients' problems, it is necessary to assess several dimensions of quality of life, including physical, spiritual, economic, and social aspects. In this regard, we conducted a qualitative study to explore quality of life and its dimensions in ostomy patients referred to the Iranian Ostomy Association.
Fourteen patients were interviewed about their quality of life dimensions by purposeful sampling. Data were gathered by semistructured interviews and analyzed using the content analysis method.
Nine main themes emerged using this approach, including physical problems related to colostomy, impact of colostomy on psychological functioning, social and family relationships, travel, nutrition, physical activity, and sexual function, as well as religious and economic issues.
The findings of the study identified a number of challenges in quality of life for patients with ostomy. The results can be used by health care providers to create a supportive environment that promotes better quality of life for their ostomy patients.
治疗程序不仅可以治疗疾病，还可能影响患者的生活质量。因此，应该对生活质量进行测量，以便评估疾病和治疗程序的影响。为了确定患者的问题，有必要评估生活质量的几个维度，包括身体、精神、经济和社会方面。在这方面，我们进行了一项定性研究，以探讨转介至伊朗造口协会的造口患者的生活质量及其维度。
通过目的抽样法对14名患者进行了关于其生活质量维度的访谈。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用内容分析法进行分析。
采用这种方法出现了九个主要主题，包括与结肠造口相关的身体问题、结肠造口对心理功能的影响、社会和家庭关系、旅行、营养、身体活动和性功能，以及宗教和经济问题。
该研究的结果确定了造口患者生活质量方面的一些挑战。医疗保健提供者可以利用这些结果来营造一个支持性环境，以提高其造口患者的生活质量。
