Abstract

This research investigated if dispositional mindfulness, resilience, and self-efficacy affect quality of life (QoL) and distress in a sample of patients with stoma. Further, it tested if body image distress and post-traumatic growth mediate these associations. A total of 102 patients with a stoma (mean age: 60.37 ± 12.79 years; 60 females, 52 males) volunteered for this cross-sectional study. The results revealed that mindful attention and resilience were direct, significant negative predictors of psychological distress. On the contrary, body image distress was directly and positively associated with psychological distress and significantly mediated the association between resilience and the dependent variable. The results emphasize the importance of interventions aimed at enhancing dispositional mindfulness and resilience as well as reducing body image-related distress to improve the QoL of patients with a stoma. Additional longitudinal and cross-cultural studies are needed to confirm these findings.
