The association of bowel function, participation in life activities, and quality of life in rectal cancer survivors
Cancer Survivorship at the Intersections of Care and Personhood
Surviving colorectal cancer following ostomy surgery with an intestinal stoma presents numerous challenges to the cultural category of full adult personhood.

This article focuses on how some female long-term cancer survivors manage and adapt to this new fecal habitus by mobil…
Physical activity, bowel function, and quality of life among rectal cancer survivors
Reliability and validity of a survey to measure bowel function and quality of life in long-term rectal cancer survivors

In this article, we discuss findings from 30 in-depth interviews with female CRC survivors with ostomies in the western United S…
Complications Among Colorectal Cancer Survivors
BACKGROUND: Societal preference-weighted health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores enable comparing multidimensional health states across diseases and treatments for research and policy. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of living with a permanent intestinal stoma, compared with a major bowel resection, among colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional multivariate linear regression analysis to explain preference-weight…
Exploring household income as a predictor of psychological well-being among long-term colorectal cancer survivors

METHODS: The data were collected as part of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Ostomy Health-Related Quality of Life Study, in which 511 respondents (239 cases, 272 controls) completed a survey instrument that included the modifie…
