  • Purpose
    This study was performed to identify the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and quality of life (QoL) among patients with ostomy.
  • Methods
    A cross- sectional survey design was used. A convenience sample of 150 patients with ostomy was recruited from three hospitals located in Gwangju and Chonnam province in Korea. Data were collected by self-report questionnaires and included demographics as well as measures of PTSD, resilience, and QoL. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and linear regression using the SPSS 24.0 program.
  • Results
    There were significant negative relationships between PTSD and QoL (r=-.30, p<.001) and between PTSD and resilience (r=-.57, p<.001). Resilience showed a partial mediating effect (β=.39, p<.001) between PTSD and QoL (Z=-3.12, p<.001).
  • Conclusion
    This study findings suggest the importance of reducing PTSD scores and improving resilience among persons with ostomy which will possibly increase their QoL. Nursing interventions including counseling or education to improve psychological resilience might help better manage PTSD among patients with ostomy.
