| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja: Ispitati kvalitetu života osoba s privremenom ili trajnom kolostomom s obzirom na dob, spol, bračni status i duljinu života (vremena) sa stomom. Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovao 41 član stoma ILCO klubova Slavonski Brod i Osijek. Kao instrument istraživanja upotrijebljen je standardizirani upitnik Quality of life Questionnaire for a Patient with an Ostomy. Rezultati: Najvišom su ocjenom ispitanici ocijenili fizičko blagostanje, medijana 5,9 (4,6 - 7,2), a najnižom socijalno, medijana 5,0 (4,1 - 6). Žene su dale više ocjene za fizičko, socijalno i duhovno blagostanje te sveukupno za skalu, medijana 5,5 (4,9 - 6,1), bez značajnih razlika u odnosu na muškarce. Ispitanici koji žive u braku više su ocijenili psihičko, socijalno i duhovno blagostanje te sveukupnu skalu, medijana 5,4 (4,7 - 6,0), ali bez značajnih razlika u odnosu na ispitanike koji žive sami. Fizičko, psihičko i duhovno blagostanje je niže u ispitanika u dobi do 65 godina, a socijalno je niže u ispitanika u dobi od 66 do 75 godina, medijana 4,7 (3,6 - 5,6). Povezanost dobi ispitanika i duljine života sa stomom najviša je u odnosu fizičkog i socijalnog blagostanja ( = 0,685, p < 0,001), a nešto slabija, ali značajna, povezanost psihičkog i socijalnog blagostanja ( = 0,408, p = 0,008). Najniža je ocjena fizičkog i socijalnog blagostanja u ispitanika s kolostomom od tri do deset godina, medijana 5,4 (4,3 - 6,7). Zaključak: Postoje razlike u kvaliteti života osoba s kolostomom s obzirom na dob, spol, bračni status i duljinu života (vremena) sa stomom. |
| Abstract (english) | Aim: To examine the quality of life in patients with a temporary or permanent ostomy considering age, sex, marital status and duration of life with a stoma. Subjects and methods: The study included 41 members of stoma ILCO clubs in Slavonski Brod and Osijek. A standardized ‘Quality of Life Questionnaire for a Patient with an Ostomy’ was used as survey instrument. Results: The respondents evaluated the physical well-being the highest, with a mean 5.9 (interquartile range 4.6 to 7.2), and social welfare the lowest, mean 5.0 (interquartile range 4.1 to 6). Women graded physical, social and spiritual well-being, and the total scale, the highest - mean 5.5 (interquartile range 4.9 to 6.1), but with no significant differences compared to men’s grades. Married respondents evaluated psychological, social and spiritual well-being, as well as the total scale higher, with a mean 5.4 (interquartile range 4.7 to 6.0), but with no significant differences compared to single respondents. Physical, mental and spiritual well-being was estimated lower in the respondents under the age of 65, and social welfare was graded lower in subjects aged 66-75, with a mean 4.7 (interquartile range 3.6 to 5.6). Coherency between the subjects’ age and the duration of their life with a stoma was the highest in relation to the physical and social well-being (r = 0.685, p <0.001). Slightly lower, but significant connection was found between mental and social well-being (r = 0.408, p = 0.008). The lowest score of the physical and social well-being was found in patients living with an ostomy for 3-10 years - mean 5.4 (interquartile range 4.3 to 6.7). Conclusion: There are noticeable differences in quality of life in patients with a temporary or permanent ostomy regarding their age, sex, marital status and duration of life with a stoma. |
