Psychosocial pathways linking type D personality traits to quality of life in patients with permanent intestinal stomas: a cross-sectional structural equation modeling study
Psychosocial Mechanisms Connecting Type D Personality to Quality of Life
Overview
This study investigates the relationship between Type D personality traits and quality of life in patients with permanent intestinal stomas. It finds that higher Type D scores correlate with lower social support, self-efficacy, and quality of life, with self-efficacy mediating this relationship.
Background
Patients with permanent intestinal stomas face significant physical and psychosocial challenges that can diminish their quality of life. This study aims to clarify the pathways linking Type D personality traits to quality of life outcomes in this population.
Data Highlights
Variable
Association
Type D Personality
Negatively associated with social support, self-efficacy, stoma self-care ability, and quality of life
Higher Type D personality trait scores correlate with lower quality of life.
Self-efficacy mediates the relationship between Type D traits and quality of life.
Social support and self-efficacy together significantly impact quality of life.
Indirect pathways through social support alone did not reach statistical significance.
Type D personality traits are linked to poorer psychosocial adjustment in patients with stomas.
Clinical Implications
The findings suggest that addressing self-efficacy and enhancing social support may be beneficial for improving quality of life in patients with permanent intestinal stomas. Future interventions could focus on these psychosocial factors to aid adaptation.
Conclusion
Stronger Type D personality traits are associated with lower quality of life in patients with permanent intestinal stomas.
