1

The SWD scores range from 6 to 30. Higher scores indicate more satisfaction with a decision.

2

The Stoma-QOL ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

3

The SAQ consists of the pleasure, discomfort, and habit domains. Pleasure scores range from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating more desire/satisfaction. Discomfort scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating more discomfort. Habit scores range from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more sexual activity than normal.

4

The BIS scores range from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate worse body image. The adjusted p-value for BIS from baseline to 6 months is .033.

5

The DUFSS scores range from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate better social support.

6

The CES-D scores range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate worse depression.

7

The SF-12 consists of the physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS). Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores reflect better health. The adjusted p-value for PCS from baseline to 6 months is .003.

8

The MDASI consists of symptom severity and symptom distress scores. Scores range from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate more symptom burden.
