Modern lives present many of the ease and speed in fulfilling the needs of human life, have affected change in lifestyle for some people. Fast food and high fat foods that were encountered, causing some people are less interested in eating natural foods that require a long process, but these foods contain a lot of substance that are beneficial to health.
Busyness and adequate transportation facilities to support day-to-day activities, also causes some people exercise less movement or exercising so that the processes of digestion and metabolism to go slowly.
The things mentioned above are some of the many factors that contribute to colon cancer. Thus, wrong diet such as lack of fiber diet, sedentary lifestyle / exercise, exposure to carcinogenic substances, and a history of hereditary type of disease, believed to be a risk factor for colon cancer.
One way of dealing with colon cancer is surgery with removal of colon cancer in a hospital, followed by making a hole (stoma) in the abdominal wall to remove dirt. Installation of the stoma is temporary and there is no settled for a lifetime. For those who must be installed for a lifetime, most likely will affect aspects of life patient physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. In other words, it will also impact on satisfaction, happiness, and quality of life of patients.
Installation of intestinal stoma is seen as a burden of stress that can affect quality of life in many dimensions. Initially, patients feel discomfort, embarrassment, pain, anxiety, and other problems. If the ability to adapt is insufficient, patients could not rule out the possibility of despair, depression, and falls on the poor health conditions. This will reduce the survival of patients.
