Abstract

We assessed an online educational tool designed for people living with an ileostomy. Thirty-nine participants took part in a 10-week online educational tool, which included elements such as happiness profiling, understanding stress and coping, utilising social support, mindfulness skills, and emotional intelligence training. Participants completed questionnaires to assess the effects of the online educational tool on well-being, optimism, and coping self-efficacy at Time 1 (baseline), Time 2 (after the intervention), and Time 3 (three months after completing the online educational tool). Psychological well-being, optimism, use of problem-focused coping self-efficacy, and stop unpleasant emotions and thoughts coping self-efficacy were significantly higher, with large effect sizes, at both Time 2 and Time 3, than Time 1. The online educational tool appears to be a promising time and cost effective method of promoting positive outcomes, although additional testing is required before it could be used in conjunction with existing healthcare treatment.

一个在线教育工具，以促进心理健康，乐观，和应对自我效能的生活与回肠造口:一项试点研究

我们评估了一种为生活在回肠造口术中的人设计的在线教育工具。39名参与者参加了为期10周的在线教育工具，其中包括幸福分析、理解压力和应对、利用社会支持、正念技能和情商训练等内容。参与者完成了问卷调查，以评估在线教育工具在时间1(基线)、时间2(干预后)和时间3(完成在线教育工具三个月后)对幸福感、乐观情绪和应对自我效能的影响。在时间2和时间3中，心理健康、乐观、使用以问题为中心的应对自我效能、停止不愉快情绪和想法的应对自我效能显著高于时间1，且效应量大。在线教育工具似乎是促进积极结果的一种有希望的时间和成本效益的方法，尽管在与现有医疗保健治疗结合使用之前需要进行额外的测试。
