Aims: To evaluate preliminary effects of a newly developed STOMA psychosocial intervention programme that was delivered via a multi-modal and multi-dimensional approach on the improvement of outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with stoma.
Background: With a distorted body image and the loss of an essential body function, stoma patients face difficulties in everyday life in terms of physical, psychological, and social aspects. Few studies have explored effects of psychosocial interventions on improving stoma-related health outcomes.
Design: This was a two-group pre-test-post-test pilot randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Fifty-three participants were recruited from July 2015-November 2016 in a tertiary public hospital in Singapore. They were randomized into either intervention group (N = 29) or control group (N = 24). Stoma care self-efficacy, acceptance of stoma, stoma proficiency, length of hospital stay, anxiety and depression and quality of life were measured. IBM SPSS 24.0 was used to analyse the data.
Results: There was an improvement in acceptance of stoma in the intervention group (p < 0.05). Significant effects on stoma care self-efficacy, stoma proficiency, length of hospital stay, anxiety and depression level and quality of life were not shown.
Conclusion: This study developed a feasible and applicable psychosocial intervention programme and generated preliminary evidence in the positive outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with stoma. Future studies can explore technology-based interventions to provide a more sustainable support for patients with stoma.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer and subsequent radical cystectomy with ureterocutaneostomy significantly impact patients' body image and quality of life, potentially increasing the risk of adverse mental health outcomes. Acceptance may represent a psychosocial resource to buffer the effects of body image impairment on health, thereby supporting stoma adjustment and preserving quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of stoma acceptance in the relationship between body image distress and mental health.

Objective: To explore the dynamic changes, influencing factors, and relationships between resilience and social function in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and stomas at different postoperative stages, and to inform precise psychosocial rehabilitation interventions.
Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in eastern China from January 2021 to June 2023. Patients completed a self-designed socio-demographic questionnaire one month post-surgery, and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Social Dysfunction Screening Scale (SDSS) at 1, 3, and 5 months post-surgery.

Most people with a stoma worry about leakage, and a quarter experience leakage of stomal effluent outside the baseplate on a monthly basis. Leakage has additional physical and psychosocial consequences, for instance, peristomal skin complications, feeling unable to cope, and self-isolation. An interventional, single-arm, multi-centre study was undertaken in the United Kingdom to evaluate a novel digital leakage notification system for ostomy care, including a support service (=test product) for 12 weeks in patients with a recent stoma formation (≤9 months).
