Depression and resilience in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients with ostomy

The purpose of this study is to identify the degree of depression and resilience in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) patients with ostomy and describe the correlation between depression and resilience in UC and CD patients with ostomy. 24 UC patients and 66 CD patients with ostomy were recruited from Metropolitan Hospital in Seoul, Korea. The total mean scores of depression and resilience in UC patients were 13.42 and 123.75, respectively, and in CD patients with ostomy they were 14.24 and 119.18, respectively. Depression and resilience in UC patients with ostomy were not correlated with general characteristics. Depression in CD patients with ostomy correlated with marital status (t = 2.27, P = 0.027), economic status (F = 3.98, P = 0.012), sleep disorder (t = 4.73, P
