| Popis: | The postoperative physiological changes and psychological pressure of cancer patients affect the patient's adaptability to the disease, and thus affect the spousal intimate relationship. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between spousal intimate relationship, self-disclosure, and adaptability among colorectal cancer (CCI) patients with enteric stoma. This cross-sectional study selected patients with CCI in Henan Province from February 2018 to October 2020. The Marital Adjustment Test (MAT), the Distress Disclosure Index scale, and the Ostomy adjustment inventory-20 scale were used to collect relevant data of the participants. A Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between variables, and multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to test the influence of general information on the intimate relationship, self-disclosure, and adaptability. Among the respondents, 42.6% had a spousal intimate relationship problem, 58.4% had a low or moderate level of self-disclosure, and 90.8% were at a low or moderate level of adaptation. Education background, self-care ability, and postoperative time were associated with a couple's intimate relationship. Average monthly household income, gender, and place of residence were associated with self-disclosure. Self-care ability, average monthly household income, postoperative time, and educational background were associated with adaptation. Healthcare workers should provide more health education training to guide CCI enterostomy patients to express their thoughts and feelings with each other increase self-disclosure, so as to enhance their intimate relationship then improve their adoption to ostomy, finally elevate their quality of life. |
