A qualitative evaluation of the STOMA psychosocial intervention programme for colorectal cancer patients with stoma.
Journal of Advanced Nursing 2018 August 15
AIMS: To explore the experiences of patients who underwent a STOMA psychosocial intervention programme for colorectal cancer patients with stoma.
BACKGROUND: The STOMA psychosocial intervention programme was developed to improve stoma-related health outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer and stoma. Evaluation was carried out to explore their experiences.
DESIGN: A qualitative exploratory approach was adopted.
METHODS: A total of 13 colorectal cancer patients, who were: (1) scheduled for surgery that resulted in a surgical formation of stoma at a tertiary public hospital in Singapore; and (2) were allocated to the intervention group and received the STOMA psychosocial intervention programme, were recruited for the qualitative evaluation study (September to November 2016). Participants were asked to comment on the contents and delivery methods of the intervention, as well as the effect of the presence of family members during the sessions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
FINDINGS: Four themes were generated: (1) individual attitudes towards stoma; (2) benefits of the STOMA psychosocial intervention programme; (3) strengths of the STOMA psychosocial intervention programme; and (4) recommendations for future programmes.
CONCLUSION: The qualitative evaluation reflected the benefits of the intervention programme in improving the outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with stoma with its multimodal and multidimensional approach. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
