Description
Baochuan Chen and co-authors trace how family care shields ostomy patients from social withdrawal in a 2026 study. The survey covered 290 people in Fujian, China, living with colorectal cancer and a stoma. Each rated family care, resilience, stigma, and social alienation on questionnaires. Family care correlated with less alienation and less stigma, and with stronger resilience.
A chain model then tested the pathway: care may build resilience, resilience may soften stigma, and softer stigma may keep patients socially connected. Resampling tests checked which links in the chain carry real weight. The practical lesson is that supporting the family is not a courtesy add-on; it may be a working part of the treatment.
