Abstract

Objective: to determine the short- and mid-term quality of life perceived by enterostomized patients (colostomies or ileostomies).
Material and method: prospective cohort study with enterostomized patients of the Puerta del Hierro University Hospital (Madrid). Variables: Quality of life, sociodemographic and clinical variables. Instruments: Subjects completed the SF-36 and Stoma-QOL (while they still were stomatized) in the preoperative phase, at 15 days after discharge, and at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Analysis: Descriptive analysis. Variations of quality of life scores between the first visit and the final visit.
Results: 44 ostomized patients. 68% men, mean age 66 years, and 32% women, mean age 59 years. 73% were married, 48% were retired/disabled, 57% had intermediate/higher studies. 57% had a programmed surgery. 75% had colorectal cancer. 52% were colostomies. 25% had early closure, 36% had a temporary ostomy and 39% had a permanent ostomy. Changes in the overall scores over the four points in time assessed were significant in the functional area of the SF-36. The changes in the overall scores of the Stoma-QOL were also significant when comparing values at 15 days after discharge-3 months after surgery.
Conclusions: perceived quality of life is worse in the first three months after surgery, and then improves and remains stable between the third and sixth month. Perceived quality of life was better in young people and in subjects with intermediate or higher studies. Patients with permanent stomas assessed their perceived quality of life in the emotional domain more positively.
