The experiences of family resilience in patients with permanent colostomy and their spouses: A dyadic qualitative study

CONCLUSIONS: Couples living with permanent colostomy often undergo a complex emotional journey, experiencing varied levels of individual stress as they navigate social interactions and daily activities, which can contribute to a decline in family adaptation. With the help of the perspective of family advantage, health practitioners should pay attention to the evaluation of individual factors and family environmental resources, to fully mobilize advantage resources and give effective interventions to improve the family and social adaptation level of patients and their spouses.PMID:38677217 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejon.2024.102590
