Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between the acceptance of disability and the social support in patients with permanent colostomy. Methods One hundred and twenty-four patients with colostomy were surveyed by the acceptance of disability scale （AODS） and social support rating scale （SSRS）. Results The total score of AODS in patients with permanent colostomy was （82.10 ±8.86）, and was overall in the middle level; the total score of SSRS was （41.80 ± 2. 87）, and was higher than （34.56 ± 3.73） in the national norm, and the difference was statistically significant （t = 28.11, P 〈 0.01 ）. The total score of AODS was positively correlated with the total score of SSRS （ r = 0.332, P 〈 0.01 ）, and the score of tolerance dimension in the AODS was positively correlated with subjective support （r =0. 327, P 〈0.01 ）. Conclusions The acceptance of disability in patients with permanent colostomy is needed to improve, and the nurses should explore the effective psychological intervention mode according to its related factors in order to improve the level of psychological health in patients with colostomy. Key words: Permanent colostomy; Acceptance of disability; Social support; Correlation
