Associations Between Ostomy Creation and Health‐Related Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Longitudinal Observational Study
Stoma creation adversely affects HRQOL, particularly in the early postoperative period. Comprehensive post-surgical support addressing physical, psychological, and financial challenges may be crucial to enhance overall HRQOL for stoma patients. Further research should explore tailored support strategies and the effect of early versus delayed stoma closure on HRQOL outcomes.
