Stoma Self-Efficacy Scale was administered to evaluate the colostomy related self-efficacy.Results:1. The total scores of self-efficacy was68.1±12.68The scores of colostomy care effectiveness were41.3±8.17and the scores of social effectiveness of and14.8±2.03; The socres of the six items:the score of sexual performance (1.31±0.47) was the lowest item of the six independence items, while the score of colostomy self-care effectiveness(3.09±0.61points) was the highset.2.

Patients’work for switching or unwilling to work again after the surgery, the period of implementation of colostomy surgery until now as" within a month", patients with no preoperative colostomy location and evaluation the role of colostomy therapists generally were risk factors of self-efficacy scores patients with enterostomy.Conclusions:1. The total scores of self-efficacy was68.1±12.68.60.0%patients were in the effectiveness of "moderate" level (66~102), the rest was in the low level (≤65pionts)2. patients with preoperative colostomy location, the period of implementation of colostomy surgery until now, the situation of patients "work after colostomy surgery, and the evaluation the role of colostomy therapists were the influencing factors of the self-efficacy of patients with enterostomy.
