dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: To identify the lived experiences, quality of life (QoL), and level of ostomy adjustment (OA) in patients after colorectal cancer with a permanent colostomy (PC). METHODS: In this parallel-design mixed-methods study, the researchers interviewed 14 patients after colorectal cancer whose PC was created more than 1 year prior. Qualitative data were interpreted using hermeneutic interpretive phenomenological design. Quantitative data were collected with the Stoma QoL Scale and OA Inventory-23. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 61.5 (SD, 10.0) years, and the mean PC duration was 7.7 (SD, 5.0) years. Mean QoL and OA scores were just above the median. Three superordinate themes consisting of nine themes emerged from the analysis: (1) early experiences (acceptance, medical problems, and emotional changes);(2) long-term experiences (physiologic experiences, psychosocial experiences, economic experiences, and coping strategies);(3) feelings and expectations about the future (worries and expectations). CONCLUSIONS: Even individuals who have been living with a PC for a long time may not be fully adapted to the process and may not have internalized lifestyle changes. Nurses should provide support to individuals with a PC through routine follow-ups, social support, and facilitative healthcare strategies regardless of the length of time since PC creation.
