Abstract
The main aim of this article is to explore the experiences and life situations of people living with intestinal stomas. Previous studies indicated the need to investigate the concerns of ostomy patients and how these concerns can affect their quality of life and their approaches to the comprehensive conceptualization of the bodily changes. A qualitative systematic review and metasynthesis design was carried out by using the main scientific databases. Original articles from 2002 to 2015 were selected based on their qualitative methodology. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program. The findings were synthesized using the metasynthesis procedure of Sandelowski. The final number of articles included was 95 and 1,982 participants. Regarding the metasummary, the data generated 191 thematic statements that were organized into eight categories. The findings support an explanatory model of the experience of people with ostomy based on three aspects: Acceptance, Adaptation, and Autonomy.
