• "The purpose of this research is to make explicit ostmates' daily struggles to improve quality of life at home. The subjects had the ostomy (the formation of stoma) in the prime of their life, lived for more than ten years after the operation to an advanced age. As a result of a qualitative and inductive analysis through a semi-structured interview, it was made clear that in the daily struggles to improve their quality of life, the longtime ostomates make a change or a fine adjustment in response to their recognition of inconvenience and disadvantage. In this paper, I refer to the judgments by the longtime ostmates on the inconveniences and disadvantages in their daily life. From the judgments by the ostomates, 5 categories and 14 subcategories are extracted; the five categories identified are `to gather information', `to give up the solution', `to maintain the current condition', `to analyze the cause' and `to evaluate with regard to age'. Although most of them made the judgments without consulting a medical institution, the ostomates' inconveniences and disadvantages accompanied by the change in situation were obvious. It is suggested that although they currently stand on their own feet, the ostomates who live to an advanced age need to be provided with information on how to utilize stoma care in response to the change in the method of stool evacuation and on the selection of ostomy appliances under the proper guidance of ostomy nursing specialists to achieve a better quality of life."
