The purpose of this study was to investigate how stoma patients perceive their experiences living with a stoma.
The research is a descriptive study conducted with 42 patients who lived with a stoma for at least 3 months. Data were collected by a face-to-face interview method with a semi-structured form. The metaphors obtained from the analysis are presented under 3 main headings.
The participant's gender was 59.5% male, 78.6% were between the ages of 18 and 64, and 78.6% were married. We discussed patients' statements about living with a stoma under the themes of 'positive', 'negative', and 'both positive and negative'. A statistically significant relationship was found between age groups, stoma type (colostomy/ileostomy), and stoma type (permanent/temporary) (p < 0.05).
The findings reveal that negative metaphors occur most frequently in patients between the ages of 18 and 64 who have undergone temporary stoma surgery. Knowing patients' perceptions of their stoma can be a guide in planning support services for individuals to cope with their negative emotions.
本研究旨在探讨造口患者对造口生活体验的看法。
本研究为描述性研究,纳入了 42 名至少有 3 个月造口生活经历的患者。通过半结构式访谈法收集数据。从分析中得出的隐喻以 3 个主要标题呈现。
参与者的性别为 59.5%为男性,78.6%的年龄在 18 至 64 岁之间,78.6%已婚。我们根据主题“积极”、“消极”和“积极和消极”来讨论患者对造口生活的看法。年龄组、造口类型(结肠造口/回肠造口)和造口类型(永久性/临时性)之间存在统计学显著关系(p<0.05)。
研究结果表明,18 至 64 岁接受临时性造口手术的患者中,消极隐喻最为常见。了解患者对造口的看法可以为规划支持服务提供指导,帮助患者应对负面情绪。
