A&nbsp;validated Thai version of Padilla and Grant’s HRQOL (as a cancer nursing outcome variable) was used. Enrolled&nbsp;patients must have age between 40-60 years and live with stoma over a period of 3 months.<br><strong>Results:</strong> There were 83 patients with temporary stoma and 27 patients with permanent stoma. The majority was&nbsp;male and got married. The common indication for temporary and permanent stoma was low anterior resection&nbsp;and abdominoperineal resection, respectively. Overall mean HRQOL index was not significantly different between&nbsp;groups. There was also no difference in the mean QOL of each domain - namely physical well-being, psychological&nbsp;well-being, body image concerns about stoma, social support concern, and diagnosis/treatment response between&nbsp;those with temporary and permanent stoma. Notably, the domain of body image concern had the lowest QOL&nbsp;index in both groups.<br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Postoperative health-related quality of life was not different between Thai colorectal cancer patients&nbsp;with temporary or permanent stoma. However, the patients with permanent stoma appeared to have non-significant&nbsp;higher score in every domain of health-related quality of life than those with temporary stoma.</p> ER -
