Ostomy surgery is a life-saving procedure extending an individual's life span. However, the emotional impact can negatively influence body image and quality of life. This systematic review investigated the effectiveness of mental health interventions provided pre and/or post-operative to ostomates. Two reviewers independently screened 2,759 titles and abstracts and 377 full-text studies. Twelve studies met the criteria for inclusion. The findings indicate that ostomates of all ages and genders benefit from mental health interventions to improve function, body image, and psychological outcomes. Healthcare practitioners should incorporate body image management into rehabilitation to improve ostomates' quality of life.

Background: Biopsychosocial factors have been associated with body satisfaction/dissatisfaction and related body image concerns in adolescence; however, few studies have investigated these relationships in middle childhood, an important developmental phase for body satisfaction.

Methods: In this study, participants from the longitudinal Children's Body Image Development Study (in which children had been followed-up annually from 3 years old) were assessed by interview at 7 years old (Time 1; n = 293: girls = 167, boys = 126) and 8 years old (Time 2; n = 222; girls = 126, boys = 96) and their parents completed a questionnaire at each time point.
