Level and factors associated with self-disgust in clinical stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ low-rectal cancer patients with a stoma
Objective To determine the level and factors associated with self-disgust in clinical stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ low-rectal cancer pa-tients with a stoma,and to provide reference for targeted intervention.Methods A total of 221 patients were invited to complete a battery of questionnaires,including a demographic questionnaire,the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Self-Disgust,the Func-tional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being,the subscale of the Stoma Self-efficacy Scale(Stoma Care SE),and the Perceived Social Support Scale.Results The sample scored(33.52±8.40)for self-disgust.Multiple li-near regression analy-sis showed that stoma complications,spiritual health,stoma care self-efficacy and perceived social support were factors influencing self-disgust(all P<0.05),which could explain 83.6%of the total variance.Conclusion The self-disgust of low-rectal cancer pa-tients with a stoma is at moderate to slightly high level.Nursing staff should provide targeted stoma care to prevent stoma compli-cations,and improve patients'spiritual health,stoma care self-efficacy,and social support,in an effort to decrease their self-disgust.
