| description | Positive changes after a traumatic severe illness have still not been fully described. One of the groups that lack full
research of posttraumatic growth are patients with stoma. Difficult moments of surgery and dealing with stoma are
for many of them the hardest situations of all life. Some of the patient must face emotional, social and self-percep‑
tion changes in their lifes. Being a part of stomic societies is a chance for personal development for many of patients,
it gives them social and institutional support and a chance to meet people in similar situation. Two groups were con‑
sidered in present study: one was a group of stomic patient and another was a group of people taking part in the
University of the Third Age. Emotional traits (STPI), acceptance of illness (AIS), multidimensional health locus
of control (MHLC) and posttraumatic growth (PTGI) were taken into consideration. Data analysis have given very
optimistic view on functioning of present groups and abilities to get on with the illness. There have been only small
differences between two groups. These participants react in a very similar way and in the same way they experience
the posttraumatic growth. This research is a good introduction into the field of posttraumatic positive changes for
stomic patients as the special case of trauma that still lasts. Correlations between emotional traits and posttraumat‑
ic growth will surely bring new ways of psychological work with these patients. |
