Introduction:

The objective of this study was to assess the nonpsychotic psychiatric disorders of stoma patients in Iran.

Method:

In this cross-sectional study, patients referred to the Iranian Ostomy Association from 2005 to 2006 filled the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) in Farsi as a screening instrument to identify cases of nonpsychotic psychiatric morbidity.

Results:

A total of 155 patients participated in the study, of whom 79 (51%) were female and 76 (49%) were male. Fifty-five percent of the patients (n = 86) had psychiatric problems. the females' mean GHQ score was significantly higher than that of males (P = .001). Psychiatric disorder was significantly more frequent among patients with the following specifications: educational level of high school or lower (P = .001), mucosal hemorrhage of the ostomy (P = .03), stomal stenosis (P = .012), and history of psychiatric drug consumption (P = .000). GHQ score decreased as stoma age increased (P = .032; r = -.177).

Discussion:

Similar to other complications, psychiatric problems are prevalent in Iranian stoma patients. Our findings highlight the need for special support.
