Abstract

The diagnosis of bladder cancer and necessity of urostomy is profoundly life changing. This qualitative

study was conducted in order to assess lived experiences of patients who had received urostomy due to

bladder cancer or any other urinary pathology. The sample included 30 patients with urostomy admitted

in the Urology ward, AIIMS, New Delhi. Purposive sampling was used and data was collected using semi

structured interviews. Narrative data was analysed using Colaizzi’s steps of analysis for qualitative data.

Ten themes emerged from the analyses which were further categorized into sub themes. The theoretical

framework of the themes and subthemes defined the phenomenon of living with urostomy in entirety.
