Objective:

To examine the psychosocial and behavioral pathways linking Type D personality traits to quality of life in patients with permanent intestinal stomas.

Key Findings:
  • Higher Type D personality trait scores were negatively associated with social support, self-efficacy, stoma self-care ability, and quality of life.
  • Self-efficacy significantly mediated the association between Type D personality traits and quality of life.
  • The sequential pathway involving social support and self-efficacy was statistically significant.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The study design is cross-sectional, limiting causal inferences.
  • The indirect pathway through social support alone and the longer sequential pathway did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusion:
