Abstract

© 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Aim: This paper is a report of a study exploring the relationship between stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy in patients with colostomy and whether self-disgust and stigma play mediating roles in this relationship. Design: A cross-sectional survey design. Method: In all, 476 participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital and completed structured, anonymous, self-report measures of stoma acceptance, self-disgust, stigma, and stoma care self-efficacy between January 2016-March 2017. Results: Stoma acceptance was significantly negatively associated with personal disgust (r = −.640, p<.001), behavioural disgust (r = −.384, p<.001), and stigma (r = −.309, p<.001) and significantly positively associated with stoma care self-efficacy (r =.689, p<.001). Furthermore, regression-based mediation modelling showed that personal disgust and stigma had significant mediating effects on stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy. Conclusion: We demonstrated, for the first time, that emotional responses (self-disgust and stigma) play important roles in the association between stoma acceptance and stoma care self-efficacy. Addressing concerns about emotional disorder should become part of the routine care for patients with stoma. Impact: Patients with colostomy must cope with many challenges and undergo profound changes in daily life. Acceptance of the existence of the stoma and effective management of the stoma can aid patients in the return to a full and active life. Illness acceptance and psychological states have been widely reported to be correlates of the ability to successfully reconstitute a meaning of life, but these have not been specifically explored in patients with colostomy. This study examined the effect of stoma acceptance on stoma care self-efficacy with the mediation role of self-disgust and stigma. Evidence of the relationship between illness acceptance and self-efficacy could offer practitioners to consider emotional factors like self-disgust and stigma when aiming to improve stoma care and management.

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Journal Of Advanced Nursing due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2020, it was in position 9/122, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Nursing. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 2.5. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 3.26 (source consulted: FECYT Feb 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 10.92 (source consulted: Dimensions May 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-05-11, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 24
  • Scopus: 28
  • OpenCitations: 26
Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-11:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 92.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 89 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 5.05.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 5 (Altmetric).
