Description

To clarify the difference between colostomy irrigation (CI) and natural evacuation (NE) in terms of QOL and daily life, we assessed the following factors: stress, social support level and satisfaction with stoma-related QOL． General condition, activity, psychological condition, self-esteem, sexuality and financial situation were also examined as QOL of daily life daily. The patients who perform CI regularly showed a significantly high QOL score in the questionnaire regarding self-esteem. We found differences in bathing circumstances, which was speculated to result from the high self-esteem of CI patients. NE is a safe and universal method that should be introduced to all patients with stomas. CI is also a beneficial and useful procedure for selected patients that should only be applied with the full understanding and consent of the patient．
