    Psychosocial adjustment to ostomy was similar across groups, but trauma patients used different coping strategies. This study highlights the need for more research on temporary ostomies, particularly those from traumatic events.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Surgery
    • Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Fecal ostomies significantly impact patients' psychosocial well-being.
    • Research on temporary ostomies, especially those resulting from trauma, is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the psychosocial impact of fecal ostomies across different patient groups.
    • To compare adjustment and coping mechanisms in individuals with permanent vs. temporary ostomies, and disease-related vs. trauma-related temporary ostomies.

    Main Methods:

    • Interviewed three groups of individuals with fecal ostomies (permanent disease, temporary disease, temporary trauma).
    • Utilized instruments including the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, Reintegration to Normal Living Index, Meaning in Life Scale, and Ways of Coping instrument.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in overall psychosocial adjustment scores were found between the three groups.
    • Individuals with temporary ostomies due to trauma reported higher scores in specific coping strategies: Escape-Avoidance, Positive Reappraisal, Accepting Responsibility, and Planful Problem Solving.

    Conclusions:

    • While overall adjustment may be similar, distinct coping mechanisms are employed by individuals with temporary ostomies resulting from trauma.
    • Findings suggest that coping differences may be linked to the concurrent adjustment to a violent event and the ostomy itself.
    • This research underscores the scarcity of data on temporary ostomies, particularly those linked to traumatic injuries.
