In this experimental study, we evaluated whether manipulated disgust and mindfulness predicted social avoidance in bowel health contexts. Community participants (n=101) were randomised to conditions in which disgust and/or state mindfulness were experimentally induced. Tasks assessing social avoidance and perceptions of available social networks in the context of bowel/health problems were conducted. Manipulation checks confirmed the elicitation of disgust and state mindfulness in the applicable conditions. As expected, persons in the disgust condition were more likely to exhibit immediate social avoidance (rejecting a glass of water). State disgust predicted greater socially avoidant decision-making, less decisional conflict, and smaller social network maps. State mindfulness predicted fewer names on inner network circles and amplified the effect of disgust on creating smaller social network maps. This report furthers understanding of emotions and avoidance in bowel health contexts, and suggests the need for caution in mindfulness interventions that raise awareness of emotion without also providing skills in emotional regulation.

Objective. The objective of this study was to explore the experience of patients who had stoma surgery to treat cancer in order to explicate why problems associated with stoma surgery are not decreasing despite technical improvements in stoma care.


Design. A longitudinal design was used in order to capture the process of preparing for surgery and dealing with its aftermath. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol on three occasions; 1-2 weeks before surgery (eight participants), 1-2 weeks after surgery (seven participants), and 3 months after surgery (four participants).


Method. Transcripts were analysed guided by the procedures of grounded theory. This involved developing categories from the data and linking them together to form a conceptual understanding of our participants' experience.


Results. Lowered personal control was the most important concept to emerge from the analysis. We identified perceived causes of lowered control, its mitigating factors, the strategies used to manage this experience and the consequences of these processes.


Conclusions. We make three recommendations based on the conclusion that improvements could be implemented in the psychological aspects of stoma care and, in particular, the enabling of patient perceived self-efficacy. First, improvements could be made in doctor-patient communication with doctors becoming more aware of their psychological impact on patients. Second, specialist stoma care nurses could be trained to recognize patients with dysfunctional self-efficacy beliefs and/or delayed adaptation. Finally, we identify a need for more prolonged practical emotional support for at least some stoma out-patients.

Conclusion: In this post hoc analysis of data from a real-life 12-week study, OXN treatment was associated with a significantly lower risk of opioid-induced constipation, superior tolerability, and significantly better analgesic efficacy compared with OXY and MOR.

Mindfulness facilitates greater tolerance of unpleasant emotion and may thus promote better decision-making in health settings where emotional avoidance is common. Disgust’s elicitors are common in colorectal cancer (CRC) contexts and, because disgust evolved to minimise contamination risk through avoidance and withdrawal, decision-making when disgusted is important. The current report investigated whether specific components of dispositional mindfulness predict elicited disgust and avoidance behaviors in scenarios based around CRC screening and treatment. After completing trait mindfulness measures, 80 healthy volunteers were block randomised (by gender) to disgust or control conditions before completing tasks assessing immediate avoidance of a disgust elicitor (stoma bag) and anticipated avoidance of a hypothetical CRC drug with disgusting side effects. Checks confirmed the manipulation of disgust (F(1,78)=5.65, p<.05, hp2 =.07). As expected, those with greater non-judging mindfulness were less disgusted than people with lower mindfulness (F(1,74)=4.70, p<.05, hp2 =.06). When disgusted however, mindfulness predicted greater anticipated avoidance: those high in the non-react facet were more likely to anticipate avoidance of the disgusting drug (Wald=4.76, df=1, p<.05) odds ratio .24 (95% CI 0.06 – 0.86), and immediately avoided touching the stoma bag (F(1,74)=6.34, p<.05). In total, these findings suggest persons with low mindfulness may fail to attend to emotional experience when making decisions while those higher in non-react and non-judge components may use their disgust to inform both current and future behavior. Mindfulness training may promote more integrated decision-making skills in CRC contexts where disgust is a factor.
