Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between post-traumatic growth, locus of control and psychological acceptance of patients with enterostomy.
MethodsEighty-eight patients with rectal cancer enterostomy were selected.The ostomy adjustment inventory-20(OAI-20) was used to evaluate the psychological acceptance, the posttraumatic growth inventory was applied to assess the post-traumatic growth, and the multidimentional health locus of control scale was employed to assess the locus of control. A structural equation model established by AMOS24.0 software was used to verify the mediating effect of locus of control between psychological acceptance and post-traumatic growth.
ResultsThe OAI-20 score of 88 patients was(43.66±6.26) points, which was at a medium-low adaptation level; the average score of each dimension item was as follows: positive emotion dimension(2.28±0.38) points, negative emotion dimension(2.42±0.52) points, and social life dimension(2.21±0.46) points. The total score of post-traumatic growth was(68.33±10.46) points, and 54 patients(61.36%) had post-traumatic growth.The score of health internal control was(21.33±4.37) points, the score of health authority control was(24.26±4.68) points, and the score of health opportunity control was(20.35±4.26) points. The locus of control had a mediating effect between psychological acceptance and post-traumatic growth, and the mediating effect accounted for 61.60% of the total effect.
ConclusionsThe influence of post-traumatic growth on psychological acceptance of rectal cancer patients should be paid attention to, and effective measures should be taken to improve the post-traumatic growth and locus of control of patients, so as to improve the psychological acceptance of stoma.
