Investigation of the Relationship Between Personality Traits, Perception of Social Support and Self-Disgust and Taking Responsibility for Self-Care in Patients with Intestinal Stoma
Öz
Aim: The study aimed to reveal the relationships between personality traits, perception of social support, self-disgust, and taking responsibility for self-care in patients with intestinal stoma.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 106 patients who were members of the Ostomy Association. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Self-Disgust Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Ten-Item Personality Scale.
Results: It was determined that 61.1% of the patients did not perform their stoma care. It was determined that patients who took responsibility for their stoma care had lower levels of self-disgust, higher perceptions of social support, and higher scores in the emotionally unstable/emotionally balanced and traditional/open to experience sub-dimensions of the ten-item personality scale (p<0.05). According to logistic regression analysis, it was determined that a one-unit increase in the standard deviation of the special human support sub-dimension of the multidimensional perceived social support scale increased the behavior of taking care of their stoma by 1.207 times (p<0.05) and a one-unit increase in the standard deviation of the emotional stability sub-dimension of the ten-item personality scale increased by 3.036 times (p<0.05). A one-unit increase in the standard deviation of the physical self- disgust sub-dimension decreased stoma care 1.826 times (p<0.05) (Nagelkerke R2: 0.887, Model: x2 =13.248, p=0.00, Model R2: 0.654).
Conclusions: This study showed that personality traits, social support perception, and self-disgust levels significantly impact patients with intestinal stomas in taking responsibility for self-care. Considering these findings, it is recommended that care plans for stoma patients should be individualized by considering personality traits, perception of social support, and self-disgust levels.
